Truly enjoyed our time with Luke yesterday! We had a fantastic Free Walking Tour with him in Barcelona. He guided us through Passeig de Gràcia, showed us some of Gaudí’s most famous houses, and shared fascinating insights about the history and architecture behind each site. The tour also included the incredible Sagrada Família, and Luke's knowledge helped us appreciate its significance on a much deeper level. He was engaging, friendly, and extremely well-informed throughout the tour. He brought the history of Barcelona to life with interesting stories and details that we would have otherwise missed. Would definitely recommend Luke to anyone visiting Barcelona who wants an informative and enjoyable introduction to the city's landmarks and culture. Gracias!

We were in for two days visiting my brother who is currently studying here. We had a few hours spare so my brother found these walking tours. We didn't really know what to expect but it was brilliant. Our tour guide was Andreas for the Gaudi tour. He was genuinely nice, engaging and knowledgeable. We had a really good time and learnt so much. The tour did not feel as long as it did, the time flew by. 10/10.would recommend the tour with Andreas.

I absolutely love it when people are passionate, enthusiatic and knowledgable about what they do and this tour was no exception! Luke was lovely, genuine and answered all of our groups questions. I feel like I have gone away knowing alot more about Gaudi and the beautiful architectural history that has captured the curiousity and hearts of so many of those that visit Barcelona. I would highly recommend this tour to those visiting and send my thanks and gratitude for Luke for creating such a beautiful experience for our group. Another thing to note is Luke is also English, which is great for those wanting to learn English or have an experience with a clear English translation

Amazing Gaudi and modernism walking tour with guide Luke. Having lived in barcelona for 10 years his knowledge of the city was clear! He was super passionate and enthusiastic. Second time in barcelona and his tour is easily the best one I've done. Highly recommend! Thanks Luke!

Alessio was a fantastic tour guide. Communication prior to the tour was excellent. Meeting point easy to find. Audio equipment was of good quality. We were a family of 4 (including 2 teenagers) and we were all engaged for the full 3 hour walk. Just bring snacks and drinks as no opportunity to stop for refreshments. We were blessed with perfect weather and thoroughly enjoyed Alessio's insight and take on Gaudi's most famous offerings in Barcelona. We would definitely recommend Alessio and Barkeno Tours.
