What travelers say about Elvira
5.0(7 reviews)- Cheri5 out of 5Aug 2025
We would highly recommend going on any tour with Elvira. She was extremely knowledgable, personable and went out of her way to tailor the excursion for us. We saw many hidden treasures that we would not have ever seen and they were the BEST parts of our trip!
- Emma R.5 out of 5Feb 2025
Elvira! You were resourceful, thoughtful, kind, and very knowledgeable. Thank you for pulling together our ‘hidden gems’ tour on one of the few days Barcelona has a holiday and all (well, nearly!) the local restaurants were closed. We certainly recommend your tour highly and yes, we will be back!

For those who like to explore to different unique local places with not many tourist, this is for you! I loved the winery in the middle of the village,never seen winelands in and urban space! The wine was great and our guide Elvira too.
