Sabrina was fantastic guiding us around the Gothic Quarter and teaching us about the history of the place. She helped us with navigating the area and shared great tips and recommendations. I’m so glad we did this tour on our first day in Barcelona, and would recommend starting your trip the same way.
My sisters, mom and I had an amazing time with Juliana! She is so knowledgeable and passionate about history and about Barcelona! She became part of our family during our stay in Barcelona and made the experience so fun and memorable. Both the Gaudi and Gothic Quarter Tours were interactive and interesting, and Juliana made them even more fun by making little games and quizzes to test our knowledge, while also showing us her favorite local secrets! I would definitely recommend doing a tour with Juliana. She is lovely and so sweet! I can’t wait to come back to Barcelona to see her again!
Dear Isabella, Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It truly means a lot to me. I had such a wonderful time with you, your sisters, and your mom.

You really felt like family to me too. I can’t wait to welcome you back to Barcelona and share more of my favorite hidden gems with you! 💛 Warm hugs, Juliana

I booked this tour back in June 2024 for April 2025 and never had a problem with a change of time, date, or anything else. I received notification more than 24 hours prior by Julianna, with complete instructions on where to meet her and what she would be wearing. Upon my arrival she was already there and let me and my partner know that we were her only clients and started immediately. I was a little nervous because I typically don't like talking or communicating with someone for 2 to 3 hours without knowing them, which is why i booked a group tour rather than a private one. But let me tell you, Julianna was no stranger! She was well spoken, full of energy, and very kind spirited. More so, this lady is extremely knowledgeable and knows her stuff about Barcelona! I had other tours scheduled later for the day, as well the next day, one of which was the Cathedral 2 hours afterwards. Because of Julianna, I was able to walk in and have knowledge on who some of individuals with shrines there were, to even include why there are 13 Geese living there n the church. I won't spoil the tour and provide the reveal, but be ready to be in awe with all the information she will be able to provide you with. In addition we got to sample some amazing chocolates, of which she gave us ample time to shop around and purchase some for ourselves to take home, as well as she took us to a local eatery that we would not have ever thought to walk into on our own. Absolutely the best sangria's, tapas, olives, paella, and much more that weve had so far during our stay! Make sure you dont skip going to Pasa Tapas Barceloneta, you can see and try it for yourselves! I promise I didn't get paid to write this for her, nor did she bribe me in anyway but Julianna is definitely the best guide for anyone who is actually interested in learning about Barcelona, its' history, and the culture of the area! 10 out of 10, would recommend her tour to anyone and everyone that has the time to do it!
Dear Andre,Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It was an absolute pleasure guiding you and your partner through the Gothic Quarter. I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that the stories and flavors of Barcelona stayed with you. Wishing you all the best in your future travels—thank you again for your trust and recommendation! Warm regards, Juliana
