Testimonials

From cruisers and other individual travellers

"Just want to thank you for the best time in the world in your beautiful city of Barcelona. You were our best tour guide. It shows how much you like your home and what you do. The food at the restaurant you took us to was the best. We will all highly recommend your services. Israel (the driver) was very good, too. Tell him Hi from all of us. Hope you and your family come to the USA and we can all meet. Take care, Thanks again."

"Jose was our guide for two glorious days...exploring the highlights of Barcelona and the Picasso Museum, and a second day long excursion to the Dali Museum and Dali Home in Figueras and Port Lligat. Jose was a superb guide, who communicated wonderfully, and is extremely knowledgable about his Catalan home. Having spent a significant amount of time living and working in the US, he has a unique perspective on comparing and contrasting the cultural and social differences between the US and Spain. We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with him; as well as his recommendations for sights for us to see on our own."

"It is our pleasure to enthusiastically recommend your services. You provided us with a unique look at Spain that we would have never experienced had we toured on our own. You certainly did your homework; your knowledge of the history, politics, art and architecture of the places we visited thoroughly added to our enjoyment of your wonderful country. When we visit Barcelona again your services will be requested. Thanks for adding a special dimension to our vacation."

"Jose and his bus driver met us (10 couples traveling together) at our cruise ship as we disembarked in Barcelona. He and the driver assisted us all with all our luggage and we immediately started our full day tour of the city. In this way we avoided the need for individual taxis' and trying to check into our hotel before the rooms were available."

"There was an excellent balance during the tour of walking and riding in the bus. As we were a mixed group of both Christians and Jews, Jose was able to properly balance the cities many nonsectarian sites with stops of interest to both Christians and/or Jews. I think we hit all the truly major sights that day. This overview of the city prepared us to explore the city on our own that evening and the next day. I particular enjoyed the Mountain of the Jews and its excellent view of the city, the Gothic area and the new port area where we had lunch on our own. Do not miss the excellent ice cream store near where Jose dropped us off for lunch. Jose had interesting perspectives throughout the tour. His English is excellent."

"At about 5 PM Jose dropped us off at our hotel. The value we received by combining our tour with transportation from our ship to our hotel was truly outstanding. I look forward to returning to Barcelona and seeing more of the city and the surrounding area. No doubt my guide will be Jose Soler."

From Travel Agents

"Jose Soler was our guide for a pre and post tour in Barcelona. I had requested him because he came highly recommended by other travel agencies. He was friendly, and more than met our expectations. His knowledge of the city and unique ways in which he presents the attractions are wonderful. He was very skilled in avoiding crowds, and gave us time to ask questions or grab a quick souvenir. He added much more to our tour than expected, like stories and information about the culture and people. You can tell he is very proud of his city and likes to show it off. We also had the pleasure of his services after our cruise when he picked us up at the pier and gave us a wonderful tour of Montserrat. If you visit Barcelona and don't have Jose to show you around, you have truly missed a great experience in Barcelona."

"As a travel agent arranging a Barcelona stay for several of my best clients. I had to make sure the guides and transport services were top quality. I hit the jackpot with Jose Soler. He arranged everything in Barcelona for us from pick up at the airport to drop off at our cruise ship several days later."

"His knowledge and pride of the area was infectious. Jose - whose English is very understandable- suggested itineraries for the group and all were exceptional. Knowledgeable, prompt, courteous, helpful and personable are all adjectives I would use to describe Jose."

"The vehicles he arranged for us were outstanding, clean and roomy with excellent drivers - always prompt, always helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend or use Jose for future sightseeing trips to Barcelona."

From Families with Children

"What a beautiful and interesting town and what an excellent guide. We hired Jose for a day along with a Mini Bus during half term October 2005 to show 2 families around Barcelona. There were 9 of us altogether 4 adults and 5 children aged 14, 12, 11, 9 and 9. We had a full and interesting day where Jose managed to keep the adults and all the children interested and entertained. Obviously seeing all Gaudies work was the highlight and understanding the history and culture of this very special town, but we also loved seeing the Nou Camp stadium. We also asked Jose to recommend a restaurant for lunch and he took us to a great one where we had the most tremendous 9 Euro lunch, I would heartily recommend it. I would recommend totally Jose services as a guide he turned our short break into a memorable stay."

"As a family of five (children ages 13, 10, and 5) traveling with our nanny, we could not have been more pleased with the consideration and accommodations that Jose put into our touring of Barcelona and its surrounding highlights. The transportation was perfect for kids, the mandatory morning Starbucks stop was perfect for my coffee-addict husband (and the cookie monster!!) and the information and suggestions you provided were invaluable in making our stay in Barcelona very rewarding. Your ability to keep the kids interested in everything we were seeing was also VERY impressive!! They were sad to say goodbye."

"We would be very comfortable recommending Jose to anyone visiting Barcelona if they want to customize their touring to meet their specific desires or needs. He offers flexibility and spontaneity that you could never get with a group tour. That, mixed with a positive attitude, thorough knowledge and a great sense of humor, makes for a great touring experience!"
