I would recommend taking a train from any coastal town into Barcelona. Fast clean and efficient and good value . Also used the tube system in the city and all good and safe . Stations have a good parking facilities and regular services .

Having been to Barcelona before, this is my dream child, and I couldn't enjoy it more. Between the curious nature of my clients, and the encounters we have with locals, this is a truly unique experience.
With the addition of yoga pop up events, this is a really fun way to experience Barcelona.

We visited before Leave It To Barcelona formally launched as well. It was fantastic! I am always worried when reading the travel book's descriptions of good places to eat and visit, but with Leave it to Barcelona, I was able to tell Colleen what I liked and disliked and get the perfect advice on where to eat and what to do! I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys traveling!

My wife and I visited Barcelona and toured with Colleen before she formally launched Leave It To Barcelona brand. As our private tour guide, she guided us to sites in Barcelona a tourist MUST see, (Sagrada Familia, Ramblas, Boqueria market, Tibidabo, Gaudi's park Guell etc). But more importantly, she took us to the small cafés and shops ,alleyways and sites a self guided tour might easily overlook. Her rapport with local merchants added a warmth and humor to our trip. ( my wife and I speak very little Spanish, so it was quite nice to have a fluent guide)
We also took several day trips outside Barcelona which were arranged and guided by Colleen. They were excellent day trips to Mont Serrat and small coastal towns on the Mediterranean .
Our trips value was greatly enhanced by Colleen's insider knowledge.
She also arranged a private yoga session for us at our residence, which was a pleasant way to work out one morning before hiking!
We were traveling with our teen age daughter , and Colleen got along fabulously with her too! She provided shopping tips , aiming us toward unique shops and bakeries.
Her new venture seems to be a more formal expression of the experience we had with her as a "private guide".
If you want to experience a city "like a local", contact Colleen at Leave It to Barcelona.
Her little dog is super cute too!

Colleen curates a fabulous trip.. She takes you to restaurants, local markets, cafes, and local finds you wouldn't find in a guidebook. From fun, unique fashion finds to the fabulous hidden paella restaurant, she knows her stuff. I loved the formerly homeless city tour guides she found -- informative and doing-good at the same time. And she is one of the friendliest, dearest guides around.. Love.

"Leave it to Barcelona" is a hot newcomer onto the worldwide market of privately guided destination vacations. Colleen, a long time American resident of Barcelona, knows the inside of this magnificent city, which goes well beyond the guidebooks. She guides her clients to the restaurants and shops which are known only to the locals, providing everyone with special service and attention from the proprietors of these establishments. Want a pair of unique fashionable rope sandals at 11 euro/pair? Colleen can take you to the store that sells them. Her vast knowledge and resources allows her the flexibility to provide access to niche boutiques to high end fashion stores and everything in between, as well as all of the famous attractions that are must-sees. Colleen's greatest asset, however, is her endearing personality. She will accommodate her clients desires whenever possible, in a gracious, friendly manner. What a find!
