Excellent experience touring Barcelona with Javier With a city as bustling and rich in history as Barcelona, you need a really excellent tour guide, imho. Javier met and exceeded that requirement. We had a group of 4 - 2 moms and 2 college age teens and were booked with Javier for 3 days. He is incredibly personable, knows *the best* places to eat and his history and experience with the city greatly enriched our time there.

Barcelona Private Tour Guide Javier The most perfect day spent in Barcelona was a Gaudi Premium tour with Javier. He outlined our day before the tour started, giving us a brief history of Spain and the areas that we would visit. Our tour included Park Guell, La Pedrera, Casa Ballo. The best part was our visit to Sagrada Familia. We bought tickets in advance from Barcelona Private Tour Guide. This was grexcellent t because we did t have to wait in any long lines.Sagrada Familiar is breath taking. Javier pointed out allow of magnificent figures on the outside of the cathedral. To mention a few, Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, the Last Supper, & Angels, The inside of Sagrada Familia was absolutely beautiful with stained glass in every color. Javier's knowledge of Gaudi'genius was incredible. The day passed by too quickly. If you want the best tour guide in Barcelona go to BarcelonaBestPrivateTour website and ask for Javier

Gaudi Architecture Half Day Tour Javier was very knowledgeable about Gaudí architecture and showed me every detail. Javier made me realize how interesting Gaudí architecture is and I fell in love with it even more. They explain everything in Japanese, so I recommend them to those who want to know more about Gaudi architecture.

Best Barcelona Tour!! Thank you, Javier!! We loved our tour of Barcelona with you!

Insightful, knowledgable and inspiring tours! I, my family and friends so enjoyed a tour of Sagrada Familia led by Javier back in 2018 on my first visit to Barcelona that I rang him to lead another on my most recent visit. This time we also included Park Guell, which was fantastic. It was wonderful to see the work progress on Sagrada Familia over 6 years and, as always, Javier's knowledge, insight and personal experience working on the cathedral years ago make his stories come to life. Javier has great energy and is very good at reading his audience and adjusting to their needs. He also can help you take high quality photos! His tours are not inexpensive and are worth every Euro.

Barcelona Tour April 2025 Nasi From Florida,We had a wonderful 2 day tour with Javier. He is a very knowledgeable guide and very nice person, extremely helpful. We learned a lot About the beautiful city of Barcelona. My friend and I definitely recommend him if you are interested to learn a lot in a short period of time. We even got very lucky and saw the the Men towers in front of Sagrada Familia. This was a privet tour, practically no wait, Javier got our tickets in advance.

A truly enriching experience. Highly recommended! We were only in Barcelona for three days, so we had to be selective about what to see and balance it with time to relax, stroll, and enjoy this wonderful city. This Gaudí tour was perfect—it covered everything at the top of our list and gave us a deep, thoughtful look into Gaudí’s work and his life. Javier was phenomenal—clearly someone who has immersed himself in Gaudí’s world for much of his life, and it truly shows. A truly enriching experience. Highly recommended!

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.
