Ellie

Barcelona, Jun 2026

Yesi was incredibly helpful and very personable. She translated my FBI background check from English to Spanish, knew what needed to be translated and when, and even helped me with legal knowledge, very efficient and quick. I used her two years ago and I’m using her again this year because I know she is the best. Price could be cheaper - these things cost a lot of money in general - but it is what it is.

FERNANDO

Barcelona, Jun 2026

Marc has always fulfilled on time, came very quickly to the places, and responded with seriousness on delivery and price. He did maintenance on some properties for me, an integral reform, and also installations of electricity and water, and when I need someone I keep him in my agenda. He is not the cheapest, but he is serious, keeps his price and at the end of the work there are no surprises - the job ends as he said it was going to be. Communication with Marc is very good, he responds right away.

Jennifer

Amsterdam, Mar 2026

I went to the Sagrada Familia with my partner and met Robert in the morning, in a group of about 8, with little audio headphones. He is extremely knowledgeable on Gaudi and Sagrada Familia, and he talked us through loads of different aspects: from a bit of the spirituality to the light and the importance of how the building was created, and he answered every question. He felt very grounded, no showiness, very warm, and just full of helpful information, and everything was in English which worked well for a really mixed group. I would have liked the tour to be a bit longer, but that’s down to the time slots, and the price felt fair.
