The best Amazing stories and narrative - and generally such a great teacher, not just a guide. He adapted and adopted to what we were interested in and yet didn't let us gloss over some incredible parts of Gaudi's impact on the built environment (and humanity for that matter). Top notch. If you only do one organized tour while traveling, let it be Javier.

Park Guell and Sagrada Família Six of us enjoyed a half day tour with Javier to Park Guell, Sagrada Familia, and the exteriors of Casa Batllo and casa Mila. Javier was so informative and a lot of fun! He started the tour with a brief history of the city to give us a better understanding of the sites we were about to see. His firsthand knowledge of Sagrada Familia stems from working there when the interior was being built in 2000. We opted for a private vehicle, which I believe made a big difference in the enjoyment of our day since we did not have to take two taxis every time we moved locations. The driver was waiting with an air-conditioned van every time we needed it along with cold water! I highly recommend Javier👍🏼💯

If you do one thing, book Javier as your guide in Barcelona! If you are going to Barcelona and want to learn about Gaudi - then you need to book Javier. To say he is an expert is an understatement. Javier has made it his life's quest to learn about Gaudi and share it with others. Javier's tour was the first thing we booked when we planned our trip to Barcelona and we were NOT disappointed. He creates a magical experience. It was the first time in my life I felt like I understood what an artist was trying to do, say, or accomplish. Seeing La Sagrada Familia would not have been the same without Javier. My only regret was not booking the full day tour. If we go back to Barcelona, Javier will be the first thing I book!

Words do not capture Javier was amazing! It was like touring Barcelona with a good friend who happened to be an expert on all things Gaudi, Sagrada Familia and Barcelona in general. He was great for our teenage kids as well as the adults. I felt we could have typed with him for several days and still felt there was more to learn and enjoy.

The Best of 4 Countries Of all the tours we did in four different countries over two weeks Javier was our favorite. He was energetic, knowledgeable, well connected to eliminate lines and did not spend time on unimportant facts but rather provided insights that made our visit memorable and interesting. Thanks Javi for an amazing day! It was the best way to start our vacation.

La Sagrada Família with an expert My goodness. We had the best tour imaginable with Javier! His knowledge of the history and architecture of La Sagrada Família and Gaudi is incredible. There is so much detail and imagery in the building that Javier presents in an extremely accessible way. Please book a tour with him. You won’t regret it!!

Best Tour in Barcelona! We had the most amazing time with Javier! We toured Park Güell and the Sagrada Familia, and he was an incredible guide! He was so knowledgeable about all of the history and details of both visits, and we were so grateful to learn so much! He was incredibly kind and flexible and had lots of great recommendations and insights! He also took lots of great pictures of our group, and we will have the best memories of this trip. Our trip to Barcelona wouldn't have been the same without him! We would highly, highly recommend this private tour to anyone coming to Barcelona! Thank you, Javier!!

Barcelona Private Tour Guide Achieves

The BIOSPHERE CERTIFICATION

For Sustainable Tourism

Mission accomplished

With this certification we want to:

  • Show our commitment for a responsible tourism.
  • Connect with clients motivated by the development of sustainable practices.
  • Help generate demand for sustainable tourism products.

Biosphere Responsible Tourism seal guarantees that a destination or tourism company applies a model of environmentally sustainable, socially inclusive and universally accessible tourism. It is the adaptation to tourism of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

The Biosphere (BIOSPHERE©) certification is granted by the Responsible Tourism Institute (RTI), an independent body created in 1995 with the aim of promoting sustainable development actions and programs in tourist destinations and companies. The RTI was born supported by UNESCO through a Memorandum of Understanding that has made possible the development of activities, projects and cooperation events between both organizations. The RTI is a founding member of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), sponsored by the United Nations Foundation.
