My wife and I are going to be in Barcelona from November 5-11. We would like to hire a personal tour guide for 2-3 days to see the Gaudi buildings, Santa Maria de Montserrat monastery, and whatever a guide would suggest we see in Barcelona. Never used this platform before but would be interested in whatever feedback or recommendations we could get

In 2017, we used Spanish Trails for 1 private tour (Tarragona) and 2 small-group tours (Priorat and Girona/Costa Brava). All 3 tours and guides were excellent. I just checked TripAdvisor for more current reviews, and the company is still highly rated. They offer private tours in Barcelona and to Montserrat.

What a wonderful, lyrical -3+ days of venturing AND adventuring about Barcelona AND Costa Brava with Sr ABRL BRASSI and his BARCELONA VIP TOURS, my wife Becky here for 2+ weeks in Spain in a running celebration of our soon 50th Anniversary, all under the great energetic and creative advocacy of Sr. Abel Brassi & his Barcelona VIP TOUR. On referral by our travel agent Robin Glaeser, GM of InquisiTours, Abel and his so professional staff skillfully fulfilling our great interest when traveling to seek out the ‘soul(s)’ of both the principal city, here Barcelona, and beyond that of Costa Brava. This he did in spades in this land of such incredible history and cuisine experiences and of artists such as Pablo Picasso the painter and ‘Sr. GAUDI’ the architect, bringing forth his well-stated local pride complementing his understated personal background as an art educator,
Sr. Brassi similarly showing us as well the great history and the natural artistry and the wonderful cuisine of Spain’s famed Costa Brava.
We recommend Sr BRASSI and his Barcelona VIP Tour most highly and without hesitation, qualification or limitation.

I always prefer DIY ventures, especially in destinations such as any big capital in Europe, so I am not really "in the loop", moreover taking into account the vast number of offerings in this field here in Catalonia.
Having said that, I always prefer a more personal touch rather than an out-of-the-mill type of tour, so if I had to recommend someone, I'd probably go for Laura, a true local with a charming way of explaining our nation Catalonia and our major cities. You can judge for yourself in the videos on her Instagram channel.
Enjoy!
