He was outstanding! Besides the photoshoot just having him run the history of Barcelona and Catalonia down to us was eye-opening and enriching. If you are celebrating a special occasion and want some professional shots of your time in Barcelona give Joan a shout.

My husband and I did this awesome photo shoot tour during our honeymoon in Barcelona. It was like another engagement session for a great price! Plus we got to see the sights and learn the history behind the Gothic and Born areas. And it's good to have a good amount of pictures that are not just our usual selfie shots from other tours we've been on =) Joan (our photographer and guide) knew all his stuff and was also very skilled in his photo session. We are a pretty camera shy couple but Joan def made us feel very comfortable and happy the entire way. Our photos were delivered to us via email as promised and on schedule as well. One tip would definitely be to go a little early so you can find the place. There are lots of small streets and one can easily get lost (which can be a great thing in that area since there are so many hidden gems/shops there). My husband and i went a little TOO early when the doors were shut and locked so we couldn't see the street numbers but luckily the segway rental shop next door was open and they happily directed us to the right door. I highly recommend this tour - don't hesitate and book this tour ASAP! You wont regret it =)

We were in a town for a few days and had been engaged recently so why not? We had messaged a few other photographers but none were as personable, friendly and decently priced as Rich. We were a few minutes late to the engagement session and a little nervous but Rich put us at ease. For a couple that had never "posed" together in this type of setting, we didn't know what to expect. But Rich gave us very good guidance, told us where to look, how to place our hands, what posture we should have, fixed my hair from time to time, and also lugged around my sweater because it was so cold and I kept putting it on and off throughout the shoot. We got great direction. I might also add that my fiancee is quite the photography snob, having the latest and greatest camera equipment, which he uses to take pictures pretty frequently and edit them with some advanced programs. So my fiancee's bar was pretty high. My fiancee and I were blown away by the quality of the pictures. They are stunning and have a lot of depth to them. You can see us standing in front of the Barcelona cathedral in what looks like a magazine shot. Or a picture of my fiancee and I embracing next to an elderly couple, so many different layers and emotions captured here. When I shared the photographs with my family, my sister messaged me teary eyed saying how touched she was. When we showed them to our friends, they were gasping and oohing and ahing and asking us who our photographer was. When I posted on Facebook, I got so many comments saying how beautiful these pictures were. Thank you Rich for giving us this incredible memory that will last a lifetime.

A great choice during our stay in Barcelona. We were looking for a hotel within walking distance (3…read moreblocks!) to the beach. Located in the Barceloneta neighborhood near Port Olimpic, this area boasts of a multitude of tapas restaurants with fresh, fresh seafood! Tapas places dot the whole stretch of Passeig Joan de Borbo, so venture towards town (away from the port) for cheaper prices but just as authentic cuisine. The 4 story hotel has clean and modern decor with an incredible rooftop lounge affording you 180 degree views of the port. The lobby was spacious with a bar/breakfast area to the right of the hotel entrance. The complimentary breakfast that came with our package was scrumptious! charcuterie, cheese, scrambled eggs, local bread and pastries were provided. The best part was the made to order cafe con leche. They use Illy espresso and the senora who made my cup everyday, did it with just a touch of milk which reminded me of the cappuccino that I get at my fave coffee shop in San Francisco. The rooms are big compared to the ones we've stayed in London and Paris. If you request a queen bed, they put 2 twin beds together. The only drawback to this great hotel is that the walls are VERY thin. The night before our flight out of Barcelona, we didn't sleep a wink because of the loud fiesta across the street and a crying baby next door. So, I guess I'm bringing ear plugs next time?!

They do have a rooftop that's really nice at night great view and if you have dinner or a bottle of wine/beers and take up there. This place is perfect if you want a clean cheap room right in the middle of the beach city area. They serve breakfast, have a/c and is right next door to shops restaurants and corner stores that are like 7-11's that sell alcohol. Aside from the place being small the place was perfect

The staff is beyond courteous and full of good information regarding which tours are worth the money. They can set up tours for you and give you great directions as their English speaking is excellent.

Will definitely stay here again next time I am in Barcelona.

Karolina is nothing short of fantastic! Beyond being an amazing wedding planner, I consider her a…read morefriend. When my husband and I decided we wanted to get married in Barcelona, I immediately reached out to several wedding planners. Karolina was the first to reply and was the most on the ball, which is what I was looking for in a wedding planner. From the moment we Skyped with her I knew that was it and we didn't need to look any further. She organized everything, gave us enough options but didn't overwhelm us and took care of literally EVERYTHING. My husband had endless questions and requests and she was always patient (more so than me lol). All the vendors she works with are fantastic too which is a testament to Karolina's wonderful relationships with them! My husband was worried about being able to integrate his Syrian traditions with my American ones, but Karolina pulled it off and always made really wonderful suggestions and was sensitive and accommodating to the differences in culture. Our wedding day was flawless and even despite the threat of rain, Karolina handled the last minute changes easily! I couldn't have asked for a better and more perfect day, nor a better wedding planner!

I had video chatted with a few other wedding planners in Barcelona, and Karolina was the only one who was willing to work with our budget. Other planners I spoke with suggested we make a higher budget. From the beginning Karolina was very organized and always made herself available, via email, Whatsapp, and video chat. She helped us keep everything organized and when we arrived in Barcelona, she immediately met with us to go over all the wedding details, etc. The wedding day itself went perfectly. Karolina was at our wedding from start to finish. She even went to meet our guests at our pick up location and loaded them on the buses to ensure the transportation went smoothly. She stayed with our planned schedule for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, etc., but never made our guests feel rushed. We were stress free on the day of our wedding because Karolina was so organized and on top of everything. We are so happy with the services she provided and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Karolina!
