Thank you from the Strauss

Myra, Larry and Ben booked me for a whole day touring Barcelona. We had to post-pone the tour a couple of weeks because Myra hurt her foot and couldn't travel, but we finally met two days ago.
Here is the email they sent me right on the next day:

Dear Marta,

We want to thank you for a wonderful day in Barcelona. We all enjoyed the tour and having you with us made our first visit to Barcelona very special. We would also like to extend a thank you to Jose Luis for his good driving and great patience. We will gladly and enthusiastically pass your name and website to anyone we know who is visiting Barcelona. If you are ever in the Miami area in the winter or the Boston area during spring, summer or fall, please let us know.

Sincerely,

Myra, Larry & Ben


I need to say Myra was using crutches and a wheelchair, so Jose Luis help was very appreciated.

Letter from a teacher from Belgium

Some days ago I showed Barcelona to a group of students from Belgium. We had a Gaudí Tour, and another of the Old Town. The kids were studying to be builders, so they specially appreciated everything I told them about Gaudí's construction and engineering techniques.
Here is the letter their teacher Sabrina has just sent me:

Dear Marta,

I wanna thank you for your guided tours around Barcelona.
They were very interesting. I asked the boys to give an evaluation (for the whole trip),
and they liked the trip very much, also your guided tours. They remember very well all the interesting things.
I hope we were also a "good public" for you.

Thanks again,
Sabrina
Of course, they were a good public! It's always fun to work with young people!

Old Shops Tour for Sales Students



Last week I gave a special tour of Old Shops and Venues for a group of Sales students of the Projecte Bellvís of the City Council of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. I took them visiting very special stores, many of them more than 100 years old, and we learnt about their history, and how they have managed to survive for so long in the bussiness world while still keeping their original look and flavour. It was lots of fun!

In this picture you can see us in front of Els Quatre Gats, a cafè where the bohemian artists used to meet in the early 19 hundreds. It wasn't originally planned to be included in our tour, but I took them there because Africa, one of the people responsible for the group, asked me to. And I always love to adapt to my clients requests! : )
