 Verified 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.

 Verified 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

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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!
