Ines was the most pleasant, well-informed, and easy to understand tour guide I have experienced. We would highly recommend Ines for any tour of the Catalan region. Our Gaudi tour gave us the history and development of the city of Barcelona and its artists, craftsman and architects. I left the tour with a fulsome understanding of how, when and why the city of Barcelona was planned and developed. Ines grew up in Gràcia so has actual knowledge to share. Wonderful impression you have made on us Inés, thank you. Kathy & Johnalee

Once again we can say, Context never disappoints. We’ve done Context tours in China, Hong Kong, Rome and now Barcelona. We can truly say, our guide Biel stands out at the top as an exceptional guide who provided a phenomenal tour. A professor who teaches art history - his students are very fortunate to have him! We met Biel in front of a hotel, with pedestrians walking all around us and traffic streaming by, and from the first moment, his energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge simply enveloped us - no matter the urban noise around us. We learned so much about Gaudi and two other architects of the time; about modernism as a reaction to the staid and orderly architectural designs Gaudi reacted to. Through examples we visited and Biel’s engaging conversation, we learned about and saw the connections for Gaudi, between nature, God and architecture. It was amazing to see buildings through Biel’s eyes and incredible knowledge about art history. He made the city’s buildings come alive in a way that would not be possible without his unbridled enthusiasm. His guidance through Casa Battlo uncovered so much more than others using audio guides were receiving. He showed us nooks and crannies and surprises others were walking by. We cannot recommend Biel’s Gaudi tour enough other than to say, don’t miss it! Thank you Biel! And thank you once again, Context!

An outstanding with Vicky. Her passion for the city really shone through in the experience we had as members of her tour. Highly Recommended.
