    Excellent tour from Patrick, extremely friendly, informative and found out loads of information. Patrick was really well spoken and gave our group lots of laughs and stories along the way. A highly recommended tour to do for anyone in Barcelona

    In our recent visit to beautiful Barcelona we decided to take the "Gaudí & Modernism Tour" with Patrick, and let me tell you it was one of the BEST tours I have ever had! Patrick was friendly and full of knowledge, you could tell he loves History and he is passionate about the topic of Gaudí and the city itself. We can only recommend this, the experience is worth every second. Melissa & Andi

    We had an excellent tour of the Barcelona Architecture with Patrick. The tour was intimate (only 4 people) and by the end I felt I had come to personally know him. Patrick knew the history down to the last detail, and while this may seem like a daunting task to comprehend, the storytelling methods employed made me feel like I had been there to experience it myself. I highly recommend this tour if you want a great understanding of not only the architectures of Barcelona, but the personal stories behind them as well!

    It was super. I did the gothic tour and not only was it super detailed, it was fun! The guide Carlos is super charismatic and show me some awesome details about this wonderful city! For sure I would do it again if I ever come back to Barcelona!

    We had the chance to do the tour of Gaudi and Modernism on February 22. Our guide was Patrick who knows pretty well about the whole history and tells it in a very comprehensive way. We enjoyed the whole tour, and I highly recommended it if you are interested in learning more about this amazing part of Barcelona's history. It was the best tour of our trip!!

    In October 2022, we went with Be Local Tours on a tour in the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona and we really enjoyed it, honestly. Patrick, our guide, was very funny and showed us many interesting things. It's always important to understand the guide and since he is a native speaker, we had no problem to catch all his words. We appreciate that he took care of us. We highly recommend this tour (with him) but I believe this company in general is trustworthy and you won't be disappointed if you meet a different guide.

    Awesome tour from Patrick! Highly recommend! Extremely insightful and knowledgable about the history of Barcelona and modernism. I don't actually think it's possible to understand Gaudi and his contemporaries without someone like Patrick showing you the meanings and history. So if you really want to know why the funky buildings look the way they are, you have to take this tour.

    Patrick is an excellent guide and knows the ins and outs of Barcelona. My friends and I took the Gaudi free walking tour with him and we had a blast! Patrick explained the history behind the Catalan Modernism architecture movement and he spotlighted the designs, and the meaning of the decorations of the houses that we passed through as we walked down the Passeig de Gracia. I now realize how blind I was prior to his tour!

    September 2022 We did the Gothic Walking Tour with Patrick. He was a fabulous guide, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all things Barcelona! We had a fantastic 2+ hours with him and enjoyed every moment. We wished we had been there longer so we could have done a second tour. We will be booking again in the future. Thanks Patrick and BeLocalTours.

    Patrick was great. Even thought there’s only 3 person on his walking tour, he still gave us good detailed insights with enthusiasm.

  • 5/5 Charles P. 1 year ago on Google
    I did the Gaudí and Modernism tour with Patrick and it was fantastic! He really knew his stuff. While the tour was highly informative, he managed to keep it fun and laid back at the same time. Previously, I have done a tour with one of the larger companies in Barcelona, and although that too was very good, I think that Be Local Tours definitely have the edge. The fact that the Be Local groups are generally smaller definitely helps. I cannot recommend them enough! Spend a couple of hours on one of their tours and you really will come away feeling that you know Barcelona that little bit better. Thanks Patrick! I definitely hope to do another one of your tours next time I return to Barcelona.

  • 5/5 Joey L. 2 years ago on Google
    Patrick was wonderful, an amazing storyteller, super knowledgeable and engaging. Probably one of the most, if not the most, captivating walking tours I've been on. We did the Gaudi & Modernism tour. 5/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • 5/5 Sam D. 2 years ago on Google
    A naturally gifted storyteller, Patrick brought the modernism movement to life with his explanation of its history, main actors who played influential roles in it, and how it shapes the city of Barcelona. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Yanling T. 2 years ago on Google
    Patrick was our guide - professional and enthusiastic. We were the only ones on the tour, and he made us feel so at home, and was so patient about answering our questions. Really enjoyed the session which was rightly paced and so much in depth on the history and contemporary issues of Catalunya. Appreciate how be local tours are so personable!

  • 5/5 Grzegorz M. 2 years ago on Google
    We really enjoyed the tour with Patrick, it was informative and fun! If you're looking for someone to point you the famous buildings and name them, look elsewhere. But if you'd like to get the bigger picture, you're home.

  • 5/5 Pam L. 4 months ago on Google
    We had an absolutely amazing walk with Patrick on a tour called Gaudí and Modernism. He had us spellbound with his incredible storytelling ability and his wealth of knowledge. My only regret is not taking it as the beginning of our stay rather than the end because then everything we were seeing walking around would have made much more sense! Cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

  • 5/5 Romanyich R. 5 months ago on Google
    Patrick is a native English speaker who not only tells the story in an impressive way, but also finds some time to speak to each member of the group. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Nik M. 4 months ago on Google
    Patrick was a phenomenal tour guide who shared detailed and in-depth history of Barcelonan architecture. We really enjoyed learning about the the histories of the Amatller House, Casa Batllo, and Casa Milà. Very well done Patrick!

  • 5/5 Kellene G. 3 months ago on Google New
    Just had a fantastic Gaudi tour with Patrick. We have visited the modernista buildings a number of times before, but we learned so much about them from Patrick, we will never look at them in the same way again. He was very knowledgeable, but shared this in a very interesting and entertaining way. Would definitely recommend this tour, it's so much better than just wandering round and viewing them on your own.

  • 5/5 Glenda C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Patrick was very knowledgeable about all the architecture we saw. He gave us alot of background information on the different buildings and what they represented. Great tour! W
