Very good friendly guides - Under the guidance of Xavi, we went through a very good journey. He was very friendly, from the beginning of the trip, first introduced us carefully to the history of the attractions and culture of the centre of Barcelona, then along the tour of the attractions, he was very careful to introduce the characteristics of each of the attractions, and taught us which photographic attractions, what local food. He also very kindly silently captured my interaction with my wife, and also bought us water to quench our thirst, so that we were welcome. Thank you for his leadership.

Fantastic - Truly a wonderful experience. Xavi was a great guide—knowledgeable, kind, and a willing photographer. I learned about the fusion of architecture styles in Spanish towns and was led to straight to the door of hidden gems.

Excellent Small Group Tour of Vic, Santa Pau and Besalu with Xavi - Xavier aka Xavi was a great guide, so knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona and the surrounding Medieval villages we visited, as well as Catalan culture. He went out of his way to make sure we saw all the important and very interesting sights and was well connected with the people working at the places we visited such that we even got to tour some “behind the scenes” areas that weren’t open to the general public. The tour offered just the right mix of guided tour and free time on our own to explore with pointers from Xavi about what not to miss. He even recommended a great little restaurant with great food (goat cheese salad and tapas were wonderful) and very reasonable prices. The hotel pick up/drop off and small size of the group (4 people) made for an extra special tour of Vic, Santa Pau and Besalu. It was a very hot day and Xavi even had cold waters for us at our last stop for the drive back to Barcelona. Highly recommend this tour with Xavi!
