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.

What Our Guests Are Saying

Don’t Look Elsewhere — Javier is the Only Choice!
If you have not been to Barcelona with Javier guiding you, you have not been to Barcelona. He is both a wonderful guy and a master of his craft. He takes the time to treat you more like a friend being shown the city…spending less time on historical dates and more time on stories and interesting facts…” – BFamilyMass
