What travelers say about Laura
5.0(4 reviews)- Tracy F.5 out of 5Jul 2025
Local Architecture and Gaudi Tour- Last stop Sagrada Familia (4 hours)
We recently had Laura as our guide in Barcelona for Sagrada Familia. She was a fabulous guide! Laura was professional and responded quickly to our efforts arranging the tour. She was kind and patient with all of our questions and interruptions. Her knowledge of Sagrada Familia was never ending. You don’t want to tour the SF without someone with Laura’s knowledge base because you would miss so much of what you’re seeing! Thank you Laura!!!!

Laura did an amazing job customizing this tour for my group to include a fantastic guided wine tasting experience in a lovely wine bar, and a delicious group dinner location after our walking tour. Wonderful job!
