Not only was Carolina experienced and professional, but she also went above and beyond when our schedule changed at the last minute. We were impressed by how she stayed engaged and paid close attention to details that many guides might have overlooked. Her passion and boundless energy truly set her apart. We cannot recommend Carolina highly enough.

My husband and I, along with our two adult daughters, visited Barcelona in the beginning of September and used Skip The Line Barcelona to book a tour of La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell. My eldest daughter had used them about 4 years ago and she was very happy with the tour…hence us using them for our visit in 2025. Once we reached out to Skip The Line Barcelona, Carolina replied right away and promptly answered all our questions before we booked. Booking the tour was a smooth transaction and once all was confirmed Carolina sent us an email with all the details and with instructions on where to meet on the day of the tour which for us was by La Sagrada Familia. We started the tour there then we headed over to Park Guell via taxi which you pay for as it is not included with the price of the tour. Each tour was 1.5 hours long. During each tour Carolina was very personable and extremely knowledgeable on both of these infamous and incredible top attractions! Our only mistake was doing two tours on the same day we arrived in Barcelona. If you are thinking of doing the same, I would suggest to do each tour on separate days and highly recommend using Skip The Line Barcelona! You won’t be disappointed! At the end of the tour we all hugged Carolina...shaking hands was not an option! : )

July 2025: Once again, while we were in Barcelona we contacted and booked a private tour for our family of six with Carolina, and everything was perfect! From the first time I contacted Skip the Line Barcelona, to a follow-up email when we returned home, we could not have asked for a better experience. Carolina went out of her way to make sure we had a great time exploring her city, from sharing Barcelona's fascinating history to keeping our 4-year old and 11-year old grandsons entertained and interested. Her knowledge of all things Barcelona (including Gaudi and Spanish history) was impressive, and her love of Barcelona shined through each and every stop we made. If you are considering tour options in Barcelona, do not hesitate to contact Carolina and Skip the Line Barcelona. I promise you will be happy you did. This review was from 2020: We had a fantastic experience with Begoña on our recent Sagrada Familia tour! We wanted a private tour with the ability to skip the long lines, and Begoña provided exactly what we were hoping for. Her knowledge of Gaudi and his works, particularly the Sagrada Familia, was obvious from the beginning and very educational. Booking the tour was very easy through the website, and email communications with Carolina were prompt and helpful. We highly recommend booking your tour to the Sagrada Familia with Skip The Line Barcelona! Thank you so much for sharing your love of Gaudi with us during our brief stay in Barcelona!

We had a private tour of the Sagrada Familia with Begoña in March 2025. In short, Begoña was fantastic! She explained the history of the cathedral in an easy, understandable style and brought Gaudi to life for us. Because it was an early morning entry, we avoided all the lines and crowds. Thank you, Begoña for a wonderful experience.

I can't say enough good things about Begona Blanco and Skip the Line. Begona, a Catalonia licensed guide, is professional, extremely informative, have a great personality, a pleasure to be taken on tour with. If you have the opportunity to hire her, you will certainly not be disappointed and you'll be happy you did so.

I booked Skip the Line Barcelona for the day trip to Montserrat and Manresa tour while on honeymoon with my wife. Begoña was our tour guide and she was phenomenal. She met my wife and I at our hotel and guided us all the way to these cities, which were about an hour outside of where we were. She also walked us through the holy sites of St. Ignatius, which was of utmost interest to us. My wife and I met while studying at a Jesuit university, so we were delighted to find this wonderful tour and visit these historical sites. We would strongly recommend Skip the Line for any tour you are hoping to take, and we also highly recommend Begoña as a talented, knowledgeable, and friendly guide!

Our tour was in April 2023 and Carolina was great! She was very accommodating and personable. We were a group of 7 people and she kept it interesting and had us all engaged the entire time. She was patient and knew all the answers to our questions. I can't imagine visiting without a tour guide like Carolina. We also got in immediately and it was so nice not to wait online!!
