Tour guides recommendations in Spain

A great tour guide can make your stay memorable!

I often get the question if I can recommend a great tour guide in another Spanish city. So I decided I will write a blog about some of the tour guides I know do a great job!

To be honest, before I was a tour guide myself I did not do many tours as I had a pretty dull idea of a tour, thinking of guides walking with a flag with a big group behind them telling you all kind of uninteresting facts and history.

But now I know better, a good tour guide is gold! They are the key to the best restaurants, the local insider tips and they can do great storytelling to make your stay memorable!

I’ve been living in Spain for over a decade and have been throughout the country doing tours in many places.

I have listed the tour guides with the information of their website so you can directly book with them.

1. Northern Spain Gastronomy – Irene

I am absolutely in love with the north of Spain, the gastronomy is just heaven there. So what better than going with Irene on a food tour! Her multi-day immersive cooking experience is high on my travel and foodie wishlist! 

Northern Spain Gastronomy is the leader boutique operator providing food and wine experiences in Northern Spain. They specialize in food tours, cooking classes, and wine tours in Bilbao, San Sebastian, and the Rioja wine region.

2. Robb in Barcelona – Robb

I don’t think I need to tell you that Barcelona is a beautiful city, but if you can see this with Robb van Robbcn, it is really an experience! I also did a tour of the Sagrada Familia with Robb myself and I was really impressed. Robb is also part of the Wereldstadsgidsen and he is the only licensed Dutch-speaking guide to Barcelona, ​​which means that he can also take you inside the buildings such as the Sagrada Familia. Recently I participated in his online Sagrada Familia tour and I can highly recommend this as well! I have met Robb many times online and offline and can call him a friend and certainly a great guide! 

Robbcn With the tours of Robbcn you will get the best tour experience possible in Barcelona. Robbcn will focus on your tour experience, as that is all that counts. The tours will be adapted to your preferences and guided with our experienced guides. Robbcn offers tailor-made tours, bike tours, walking tours, skip the line tours, excursions and tourmanagement for groups.
