We toured with Spain Day Tours in Oct. in Barcelona prior to our cruise and the tour guides in Barcelona were outstanding, but especially Tony, who was the best tour guide we have ever encountered. We had a wonderful time on the tour, we visited a number of amazing locations and were very pleased with all of the aspects of the tour - the stops, the tour guide and the vast knowledge he had of everywhere we went and everything we saw. Thank you again, and we look forward to booking with you sometime next year on our next visit to Europe.

Very enjoyable tour. Well organised. Maria Beth was a very knowledgeable guide. Managed to see Guadi Park, Sagrada Familia as well as a visit to Monserrat.

Excellent service!! Private tours were the best with very knowledgeable guides - would have this firm handle our next visit to Barcelona!

Great tour, guide was very informative and seemed to enjoy sharing. She was open to customizing tour to what we wanted to do.

Loved this tour. We were picked up promptly at our hotel. Our guide was very good. He was very knowledgeable. Everything thing was done timely. At the end we chose to stay on our own at Sagrada Familia and submitted taxi receipt for travel back to hotel and we were reimbursed very quickly. Dory helped me arrange everything and helped us book additional Flamenco dinner and show. She responded promptly to my many questions. Highly recommend this company and tour. They didn’t charge extra for entry tickets and made sure we got our senior discount.

Our city tour with Hugo was wonderful! We could not have picked a more friendly, knowledgeable guide to show us beautiful Barcelona! He picked us up exactly as noted in the confirmation email, took us on a lovely tour all around the city, and hit all the highlights we were hoping to see. We always felt safe with his excellent driving. His commentary was just right: not too little and not too much. His love for Barcelona was very evident, and we fell in love with the city too!! We highly recommend Spain Day Tours and especially Hugo!

We were looking for a city tour that would pick us up from the Barcelona airport and drop us off at the end of our tour at the cruise port. This was perfect! Our tour was customized to fit our needs. We were able to see a lot during our 4 hour tour. Our driver was amazing and gave us a lot of wonderful insight on the city and it’s rich history. It was great to have a private tour- a very comfortable van and easy to store our luggage while we visited different places around the city. It was so easy to book and customize our tour prior to our arrival. I would highly recommend this amazing family-run company and their tour services.

Great tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable, easy to understand. Tour company was very cooperative in making reservation for tour. Totally recommend this tour!

I would highly recommend Barcelona Day Tours. Our guide for the half day was Gordy, and he picked us up promptly at 8:30am from the cruise port. He was front and center, easy to find amongst all the busses and taxis there.  The best part is , BDT will also take your luggage and store in in their van while you tour the city.  We had a wonderful 4 hour tour, 6 people, w/ a guide that was knowledgeable and informative about Barcelona.  And at the end, he brought each couple to their respective hotels.    I thought it was great idea to have the tour in the morning like this, considering our hotel check in wasn't until the afternoon.    Worked out great for us! 

We contacted Dory at Spain Day Tours and she worked with our group of 6 to put together 2 - half day tours for us. Both tours, Barcelona Highlights and Montserrat were great. A special thanks to Gordi our Barcelona guide was exceptional! We will most definitely reach out to Dory at Spain Day tours for help with our next trip to Barcelona.

Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. The half day tour to the highlights of Barcelona (Parc Guell, Sagrada Familia, etc) was a great introduction to the city. Highly recommend as a great orientation to where everything is.

3.5 days in Barcelona...what to do? So I contacted Dory at Barcelona Day Tours and asked for their recommendations. She was so wonderful. We emailed back a forth several times....her recommendations, things we were interested in, things that might not be good for us since we were traveling with my elderly parents, etc. In the end, she put together a 3.5 day itinerary for the 4 of us that we would have never been able to do on our own. You just don't know how much time things take, traffic in the city, the ins and outs, etc. Turns out Barcelona is a bit like NYC. Lots of traffic, no place to park, crowded. Dory planned our whole time with tours, guides, drivers and tickets. She gave us options and a week before our trip, when she learned the Picasso Museum would be closed the day we planned to go, she rearranged our itinerary and the tickets to accommodate this without any loss of sightseeing. We were busy but we felt like we saw a lot. Of our 14 day European tour (Spain, France, Italy), our 3 days in Barcelona in the company of Armando, George, Angel and Mar in their Mercedes touring vans were truly the best part. On Day 1, Armando picked us up from the airport in Barcelona and spent 4 hours touring us through the city. He gave us history and culture and current events in Barcelona. We connected with the city through Armando. He was lively, good English, witty, smart and attentive. During this tour, we saw La Segrada Familia with skip the line tickets arranged for by Dory and at the conclusion of the tour, Armando was waiting for us when we were done and whisked us away to our hotel for much needed sleep. Day 2, Armando picked us up in the morning, earlier than planned to avoid the traffic on his recommendation (8:15am) and drove us to Montserrat. What an amazing place. He stopped at strategic points on the drive so we could look up and marvel at this breathtaking place. He provided backdrop and history and walked with us to the monastery where he left us to explore on our own for 2 hours. When we were done, he met up with us and drove us to the heart of the oldest part of Barcelona where cars cannot go and dropped us as close to the Picasso museum as possible and gave us clear walking instructions and the tickets. Day 3, George picked us up at our hotel and took us to a family owned winery where we learned about the owner who was ahead of his time, the organic farming of grapes, the challenges they have in the area and tasted the fruits of their labor. Then he took us to another very small, locally owned winery where they make Cava and had an informative tour, tasting and lunch. At the end of the day, George drove us back to our hotel. George speaks perfect English, is a calm and competent driver (which is essential in Barcelona). Day 4, Angel (driver) and Mar (tour guide) picked us up at our hotel and took us to Casa Mila. Mar was a wonderful tour guide and brought Gaudi's Casa Mila to life for us on our very private tour. She explained life in Barcelona at the time this apartment was constructed and the social norms at the time. Angel picked us up right outside Casa Mila and navigated the very busy traffic of Barcelona, bringing us to another famous Gaudi building, Casa Batllo. While we didn't specifically tour this site, Mar walked us around the area and pointed out items of interest and the features of this property that contrasted with Casa Mila. After we saw as much as time would allow, Angel expertly navigated us to the cruise port and deposited us to the front door where we left for the rest of our trip...wishing we could take the Barcelona Day Tours team with us!! BDT arranged everything. Tours, tickets, drivers and guides. There was never a glitch. Their communication was excellent, keeping us informed every step of the way. Dory was a dream to work with and Everyone's English was excellent and all the drivers/guides were engaging and provided insight on the life of Catalunyans. While everything was planned, we also had plenty of unplanned time and the BDT staff made restaurant recommendations, etc. I highly recommend Barcelona Day Tours. They take the guessing and worry out of planning your precious little time in their beautiful city! I only wish there was a company and team like BDT in every city we visited.

This tour was true to its description. The meeting spot was close to Las Ramblas, which was central to where most of our group was staying, and the tour started on time. There were about 12 of us in a small bus. Marta, our tour guide, was awesome! I appreciated her insight, expertise and love for Barcelona. As far as picking which tour company to go with, I highly recommend a small group tour like this with a skip the line option to popular places like Park Güell and Sagrada Familia. These places are enormous and a personal touch is a must. My only critique is that I feel the guide should have a microphone on the bus-sometimes my family couldn’t hear what was being said. Overall-we enjoyed our tour and lucked out with Marta!

Our driver David was prompt picking up all passengers. He was ready for us each time we returned to the van. Our guide Moises was the best guide we’ve had on any tour ever. His English was perfect and he was very knowledgeable. He even provided dining recommendations for everyone near the hotel. Now for Montserrat. The basilica was beautiful and the view from the upper funicular was amazing. Those that went to the art museum said it was spectacular. Our tour had an afternoon at ArtCava. We were to sample 3 cava. Our presenter provided us with 5. The cava visit was very enjoyable.

We had a wonderful time on our small group tour of Montserrat, Barcelona, Park Guell and Sagrada Familia. We were joined by 4 others and of course our excellent guide Jordy. Communication with the company before and after the tour was exemplary. We learned a lot from Jordy about the history, architecture, language and culture of the region. We appreciated vistas of the city and sea from 2 vantage points. We highly recommend this tour.
