Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had been following Patrick on YouTube prior to our trip to Barcelona. I booked a private 3 hour tour for myself and my husband. Patrick met us at our hotel and immediately made us feel like we knew him forever. He took us all over Barcelona and explained the history and cultures. You could tell that he loves showing people the city and that the tour is not something memorized like other city tours you may encounter. The tour was personal and geared towards us. He suggested local restaurants for us as we like to eat local when we travel and not places for tourists. The restaurants did not disappoint and was exactly what we were looking for. I would highly suggest if you go to Barcelona and want a personal experience of the city Patrick is the way to see it. If I ever go back to Barcelona I would look him up again (I hope we do because we fell in love with the ppl, the culture and of course the food) Denise MOctober 4, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I enjoyed every minute of our tour. Patrick was an excellent guide. We were introduced to Patrick through his YouTube content. If you enjoy his content you’ll love the in person tour. I highly recommend. Stu ClarkSeptember 26, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first visit to Barcelona; we did the private Gaudi tour with Patrick the morning after our arrival. Patrick was delightful, fun and very knowledgeable of Antoni Gaudi and the geopolitical history of Barcelona. He took his time answering our questions and let us mold the tour to best fit our interests. The time spent with Patrick helped us plan the rest of our visit in Barcelona. David OlsonSeptember 26, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fabulous tour of the Old City in Barcelona. Patrick took the time to explain the transition of the city from Roman beginnings to what Barcelona is now. We walked throughout the city, stopping at various buildings while Patrick shared his extensive knowledge of Spanish history. I would highly recommend this tour. Patrick is personable and doesn’t mind questions from the group he is walking with. He even recommended a lunch spot for us.

We had a fantastic tour of the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona with Patrick. We were a group of 9, with 5 kids (ages 3-12). The tour content/stops were a perfect blend for the kids and the adults. Patrick is great and just a really nice guy. He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history, city, and culture. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would strongly recommend him to anyone. He is as advertised in his YouTube videos. If you’re looking for a unique, interesting, and intimate guide in Barcelona, Patrick should be a go-to! Cory NelsonMarch 15, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We went on a walking tour of the Gothic area and his knowledge of Spain’s history and local information was impressive. We also had the chance to visit some of Patrick’s favorite Tapa places.
