We have started to swear by 1:1 tours when we arrive in any new city. Some people do great in groups…we do not. I reached out to Lilya about walking my husband and I around for the day and she was awesome. We sent her feedback on what we were hoping to do (get the layout of the city, understand the neighborhoods, get recommendations on how to break up our trip, and what to plan for the remainder of our time) and she did an excellent job. I appreciate being shown lesser traveled neighborhoods, shops, and restaurants. We skipped the big tourist attractions and were able to get great recommendations on alternative things to do and see. We knew it was successful when we essentially duplicated the experience for our travel companions and they were delighted with how dynamic our time in the city was. Lilya also gave us great advice (as americans) on how to blend in a little better—when to eat paella, what may be considered rude (phones out), what to order and what to skip. Highly recommend.

Lilya was like a friend with whom we went out We got to know your city!! We had an amazing time and enjoyed it very much. We'll definitely keep recommending it to everyone. Come to Barcelona.

We really enjoyed our experience with Lilya. It's like hanging out with a local friend who enjoys showing guests around. We did the tour early in our trip, which I would highly recommend. We walked through a number of neighborhoods, which gave us a good feel for the city and the vibe of different areas.
