About Xavier

I trained as a historian focused on the Rambla itself, so the Palau de la Virreina is a building I can talk about for far longer than most sessions allow. On camera I keep the facade centred while I explain its history as a civic exhibition space. At La Boqueria I arrive early, when the stalls are still setting up and the market is at its most working, not its most photographed. I keep both sessions grounded in how the street actually functions, not just how it looks.

How reviews work

Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
