    Marta is amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Barcelona and everything related to Gaudi. She is easy to be with, fluent in English, flexible, accommodating, and client-focused. We spent two days with Marta. We went to Montserrat one day, and on a walking tour of Barcelona the other day. Marta was helpful to us when we had questions before and after our trip. I do think my review does justice to Marta. She is a joyful, competent, confident tour guide who is in love with Barcelona. I have no doubt that you will enjoy your time and everything you learn about Barcelona and Antoni Gaudi from Marta.

    Begonia was amazing. We highly recommend to not only get your bearings of Barcelona but also the culture. She set the stage for our entire vacation. From restaurant recommendations, a brilliant tour of the gothic quarter, a cafe break and the Sagrada Familia tour wow!!

    Marta was amazing. This tour was, by far, the best part of our trip. She was informative, knew the best places to see things, and how to avoid the biggest crowds. She even knew which columns to watch for interesting reflections from the stained glass windows. I would recommend this tour and Marta, in particular, to everyone. On a practical level, the tour had detailed instructions about how to meet the guide, everything was on time, and the length of 2 hours was perfect to see everything, ask a ton of questions, and not be bored. The cost was definitely worth the private experience. We had 4 adults and our tour was on a weekday at 10am.

    Marta and Foreverbarcelona tours was, simply put, one of the best! So much knowledge beyond the typical tour guide. Her expertise and intimate knowledge of the Sagrada Familia having worked there prior was phenomenal! I felt like I was behind the scenes getting an insiders look at the wonders of Antoni Gaudi! She even knew where the best photos would be based on the light and direction of the sun! I will always be a forever fan of foreverbarcelona!

    Marta was an absolute delight. She planned our entire 6 day stay in Barcelona, evenly distributing sites and excursions. She always made it a point to make sure we secured lunch plans and she was willing to help us arrange after our tour. We never felt hurried and she really really knew her way around the city. My highest recommendation is the wine tour!! Amazing.

  • 5/5 Maria L. 1 year ago on Google
    What a light, personal, and informed tour! Maria (our tour guide with the same name as me) knew just how to cater our tour to keep the kids listening and the adults interested. She kept us moving while somehow making us feel like we were setting the pace. I’m sure she knew so much more than she shared since she had the answer to any question we asked. We enjoyed fresh churros after watching them get made, and our tour of Segrada Familia was far beyond my expectations. I loved the chronological tour of Barcelona, letting us see how the city has evolved in recent history and a little bit about how politics can’t help but to play a part.

    We had the best time with Begoña on a walking tour of Barcelona and a full day tour of Montserrat. We had three generations and ages seven to sixty-seven and she managed to keep us all engaged, chatting Spanish history with my dad and getting my daughters to spot different animals on buildings. The Montserrat tour is a must-do too while in town—breathtaking. We could have spent forever in Barcelona with Begonia!

    Wow the tour that Miriam provided in Barcelona was above and beyond our expectations. Her knowledge of Gaudi was extraordinary. We did the full day tour and it was worth of penny! This is not just a job to her it is a passion and we were so lucky to share her passion! Her extra little pieces of advice of places we should eat and see before we left were amazing. I would advise anyone truly passionate about Gaudi to take this tour with Miriam!

    We took the Park GĂĽell, Sagrada Familia, Cathedral tour and it deserves more than five stars. MĂ­riam was a wonderful tour guide with such passion for Gaudi and the artists that make Barcelona remarkable. She shared not only her knowledge of the sights, but also her personal history relating to each. We learned so much! During the tour she also gave us great recommendations for areas, restaurants, and books to review later. We would have gladly continued had time permitted. Arranging the tour was very easy and we would repeat again. You will enjoy every second of this tour with MĂ­riam! Highly recommended!

    My friend, Paige, and I booked 2, 4 hour private tours with Marta at Forever Barcelona. The first day we walked around La Rambla, La Boqueria, the Picasso museum and cover the Born, Jewish and Gothic districts. Marta is very knowledgeable and points out so many things to see along the way. Her English is very good and she gave us many recommendations for other sites to see, coffee, gelato, dining, shopping, etc. Day 2 was a taxi and walking tour of 3 of the Gaudi sites - Sagrada Familia, Park GĂĽell and Casa MilĂ  ( La Pedrera). Her knowledge of Gaudi and our discussions really helped us appreciate these sites on another level. We would absolutely recommend Marta and Forever Barcelona for family, friend and couples tours.

    I enthusiastically recommend ForeverBarcelona. Four of us had an absolutely wonderful full day private tour with Maria in June 2022. She was kind, friendly, and very accomodating to our preferences and needs. Maria told us so many interesting stories and history as she showed us the miracles of Gaudi that permeate the city. Maria quickly became a member of our familia. She was easily the best tour guide we had in our two week cruise. Marta, the owner of the company, was also extremely helpful in arranging the tour, transportation, and adapting at the last minute to our cruise ship’s change of itinerary. I can't recommend Maria and ForeverBarcelona more highly.

    Marta is a delight! Her knowledge is only surpassed by her enthusiasm and passion for her craft. We had a wonderfully day visiting the Gaudi sites and all six of us agree that is was well worth the time and money. I enthusiastically recommend Marta!!

    We were on a cruise that ended in Barcelona. My husband and I traveled with our 10 year old daughter and elderly mother (87 years young with some mobility issues). Mariam was a fantastic guide and Dennis was a wonderful driver. Our entire family was entertained throught our time togerther. We had signed up for a personal chauffeur tour of Barcelona and they made sure the walking and stairs were minimized on our tour. We all loved all the personalized touches we received including gelato, nouget tasting, alcohol samples, and resturant recommendations.

    Marta, thank you for two wonderful days of sightseeing in Barcelona. We learned so much about the Catalonian city, much more than we would have if we had been on our own. Marta is an excellent tour guide, with exceptional knowledge and special stories for each place we visited. She is, indeed, the best thing about Barcelona. She shared so much about her culture, Catalonia’s history, and the development of the city. Her personality is so delightful and she is a warm, welcoming individual. We highly recommend both the Montserrat Tour and the Barcelona City Tour with Marta as host. Marta and her driver arrived promptly and guided us up the Montserrat mountain to the monastery, sharing relevant information and history of the church and the nearby village along the way. She made special arrangements with the monastery staff to accommodate a mobility issue so we could touch the Black Madonna. We stayed to hear the boys choir which was very special. She knew the vendors at the market at the entrance and interacted with them as if they were good friends. She guided us to the important areas within the monastery and made sure we had complete information about the mountain and its monastery. The second day tour was again with a driver who maneuvered through the streets of the city to show us the many important sites of the city that Marta had selected for us to see. From the Olympic Park, to the Gaudi architecture, to the Sagrada Familia, and more, we received an up close and thorough introduction to the city. Marta went out of her way to make sure we were exposed to the many facets of this beautiful city, its history and its future. She loves her city and her pride in the city shows through in the tours she provides. She will always be our tour guide choice when we return to Barcelona.

    BOOK NOW for the best tours/tour guides available in Barcelona! I cannot say enough great things about the wonderful ladies at Forever Barcelona. We booked 3 tours and had an absolutely incredible time with Miriam, Maria Jesus, and Marta (the owner). They were super professional, knowledgeable, personable, and most importantly flexible in tailoring our tours to our specific interests and schedule restraints. Not only did we get a truly world-class expereince, but we had also so much fun during each tours as well! I highly recommend Forever Barcelona to anyone visiting Barcelona - it's a truly outstanding top notch expereince worth every penny!

    If you ever visit Barcelona, do yourself a favor and hire Forever Barcelona to be your tour guides! We booked them for a 5 day itinerary that consisted of half day and full day day trip excursions and each one was better than the last! Miriam was our guide for the 5 days and let me tell you what a gem she truly is! We are a family of 4 with teen boys and Miriam navigated story telling with a little history lesson with ease. She knows all the spots to take a picture without anyone in the background, the best spot to buy souvenirs, and just the perfect snack to have when we needed an energy boost. We never waited in line for anything (and this is during peak summer travel times!) and she gave us the best recommendations when our tour was over for the day. Miriam truly knows her city and it shows. I am astounded by the knowledge she has on any particular subject! We planned our visit to Spain without knowing much more than a general google search, but we left Barcelona knowing more than we ever thought possible for 5 days and that was all due to Miriam's expertise as a tour guide. ForeverBarcelona Tours are worth every.single.penny!

    We couldn't ask for a better experience! A 1/2 day tour of 3 Gaudi sites with my husband (we are in our 70s), our older son, (in his 50s), and our granddaughter, (in her 20s). We began at Parc Guell because that was the only site of the 3 that my husband wanted to see, then we three continued to the Sagruda Familia and ended at Casa Mila, which put us within walking distance of our excellent Airbnb. Marga was our guide and she was fantastic, knowledgeable, patient with our questions, and accommodating. The weather cooperated and she timed our visit to the Sagruda to coincide with the light of the afternoon. I strongly recommend this company and Marga. Whenever we are able to return to Barcelona, we'd gladly book another one of their tours!

    My family had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Montserrat (Montse)! She was engaged 100% of the time on our 5 hour tour (of Montserrat, ironically) and really made the experience one we will never forget. She was very personable, great with our 10 year old son, intimately knowledgeable of the location, and made sure we did everything we wanted. Definitely would recommend ForeverBarcelona for any tour need in the Barcelona area (request Montserrat as your guide)!

    Amazing service, fantastic tour guide, a perfect day tour of Barcelona. Maria was excellent and really knew how to handle our group. I highly recommend ForeverBarcelona, you’ll be in excellent hands.

    Marta was amazing! It's been 9 years since our tour with her and I still talk about it all the time. Hope to get back again soon!

  • 5/5 Shannon K. 1 year ago on Google
    We were fortunate enough to have a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide, Marta, who made our experience at La Sagrada Familia the pinnacle of our Barcelona trip. She shared the most amazing details about how it was made, both the inside and outside. She was also kind and fun, and it was the best two hours spent on our vacation. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Joshua D. 1 year ago on Google
    Touring the Sagrada Familia with Maria was not like a typical tour guide who simply recites a script at points of interest. Maria was instantly like a friend and expert on the location and history. Aside from being so personable and knowledgeable, she took care to contextualize the history of the basilica, Barcelona, and Catalonia region. It was truly a joy to experience such a magnificent place with someone who cared about sharing her knowledge with others. My mother-in-law needed a wheelchair and Maria made sure one was available, but also advocated for her making sure people didn’t obscure her view of things, or pulling us to the front of crowds to ensure my mother in law could experience everything we could. Choosing to tour with her turned something more of a tourist trap into a truly lovely experience. Thank you so much Maria!

    We spent three days with Marta on Forever Barcelona tours — the tapas/Sagrada Famiglia tour, the Montserrat/ lunch in Sitges tour, and the Boqueria/Gothic Quarter tour — and we had fun!!!! Forever Barcelona is a joyful, well-run company. Marta (who owns the company) took us around and really crafted the tours to suit our needs. This was a trip planned for my 87 yr old dad who could not walk long distances. We rented a mobility scooter for him so every tour needed to be fully accessible. They were and my dad was able to keep up even when we explored the crowded Boqueria and spent hours exploring the cobblestone streets of the Gothic Quarter. I’ve been on tours all over the world and Forever Barcelona’s were some of the best. Marta is a great storyteller and her tours are full of history, culture, local knowledge, delicious food, laughter, and delight. Thank you Marta and Forever Barcelona!!!

    We did a 2 day tour with Miriam and she was great! Lots of info about the sights but also local knowledge of restaurants, shops, etc. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Norman L. 1 year ago on Google
    Miriam was a wonderful, warm and very informative guide. She was also of great assistance to us by her personal suggestions and recommendations for our personal traveling around Barcelona. Five Star all the way!

  • 5/5 Bill P. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a fantastic private guided tour to take us outside of Barcelona for two days. One day we went hiking in Montserrat after visiting the monastery, followed by a lunch in Monistrol frequented only by locals. The second day we went to Tarragona to see the Roman ruins then followed by a wine tasting in the pennies region. Forever Barcelona was very easy to work with and helped customize our trip. Marta was a fantastic guide and she has now become our friend.

    We had a wonderful tour of Barcelona and Marta was able to answer every question about architecture and history. In four hours we felt that we knew teh city, the culture and what plans to make for the rest of our short trip. I highly recommend Marta as a Tour Guide. She is fun and personable.

    Where do I begin, we recently took a private tour with Miriam with the Forever Barcelona team. What a treat! It was our first visit to this lovely city, and would not have wanted to see it any other way. Miriam took such good care of us, sharing the history and many of the must see sites of Barcelona including local culture and food favorites. The hot chocolate and churros is a must try! Her casual and informative style had us becoming fast friends. We promised to return to Barcelona again and will definitely look up Miriam for another guided tour and the chance to spend more time with her. Thank you for everything Miriam! We had a great time!!

    Just spent three full days with Maria our guide and Manuel our driver. Impeccable service and the whole family enjoyed both their professionalism warm friendly and punctual services. The kids love Maria! Felt like traveling with old friends. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Venkat I. 5 years ago on Google
    Extremely good. Miriam was not only very professional but also very friendly and personal. We were able to see the best of Barcelona in one day - thanks to her. It was a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. Although it might be considered expensive, to see a completely new city without knowing the language would be a daunting task, and Miriam gave us a local's view of the best of Barcelona - it was money well spent.

  • 5/5 Sharon B. 4 years ago on Google
    We had private tours over 2 days, 4 hrs. each day. It was wonderful and worth every penny. Kudos to Marta, our guide, and Valentino, our driver, for guiding us though Barcelona's history and where it is today. it was fabulous. We had a feel for the city we would not have had otherwise. Cannot say enough good things about this company and about these people. We loved every minute. Thank you Marta and Valentino!

  • 5/5 Kelly B. 4 years ago on Google
    Our tour guide in Barcelona was Marta. She took the time to explain all the sites on our tour. She was very lovely and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend using this tour company.
