ONA Tailored Travel Experiences

We recently traveled to Barcelona and Mariona guided us on two amazing tours and both were wonderful. She was a wonderful, friendly and informative guide. We highly recommend using her company for all your travel accommodations and tours.

Planning our visit to Barcelona with Mariona and her team was a dream! Mariona was always responsive and offered multiple suggestions of tours for our family of 8. We arranged transportation and transfers with her that were prompt and professional. She even took us on the tapas tour herself! It was wonderful to meet and converse with the person I had been emailing for almost a year. Thank you Mariona and team for making our visit to Barcelona an AMAZING experience!!

Excellent tour for my group from the UK. Very knowledgeable and good fun. Perfect walking for my request and definitely use again. Thanks

I took both a Tapas tour and Gaudi tour - both of which were an excellent way to see the city. Tapas tour the night of arrival was a great introduction to the history and culture, continuing with the Gaudi tour the next morning to see more historical sites. The details and knowledge of Mariona and Roser were very impressive. I certainly have learned so much about your city and appreciate its history, design, and passion! Muchas gracias :-)!!!

Hallo Frau Compte Pedro, Wir sind pünktlich, gesund und müde in Wien gelandet. Der Reihe nach: Die Abholung vom Flughafen war perfekt, „Elli“ hat uns bei der Anreise ins Hotel bereits auf einige Sehenswürdigkeiten hingewiesen und dabei nie den Straßenverkehr ausser Acht gelassen, sodass es - wie auch am nächsten Tag - eine ruhige und angenehme Fahrt war. Marc, der uns in Empfang genommen hat, war ein äußerst kompetenter Guide, der uns mit seinem Wissen und Sprachkenntnis beeindruckt hat. Die Fahrt an den beiden Tagen unter seiner Leitung hat uns zu Punkten in Barcelona gebracht, die wir - obwohl wir schon mehrmals in ihrer schönen Stadt waren - nicht kannten: Torre Bellesguard und Hospital de Sant Pau waren für uns völlig unbekannt und die Besichtigung sehr interessant. Marc hat uns mit seinem umfangreichen Wissen beeindruckt ! Seine Kenntnis der Details in der Sagrada war beeindruckend, er hat uns immer wieder auf neue Dinge hingewiesen, die man in keinem Buch nachlesen kann. Besonders angenehm war auch die Möglichkeit, kurzfristig Programmänderungen während der Tour vorzunehmen: Z.B. Haben wir den Aufzug auf den Turm der Sagrada ausgelassen, (wir hatten schon einen Rundblick von der Kathedrale und vom Park Güel aus) dafür aber - und das war für uns viel beeindruckender - einen Abstecher zum Plast der katalanischen Musik gemacht, den man unbedingt gesehen haben sollte. Das nächste Mal steht eine (Privat ?)-Führung im Inneren mit Sicherheit auf unserem Programm. Ebenso werden wir versuchen, Barcelona am Abend (Font Magic - Palau Nacional - Montjuic - usw.) mit Guide und Chauffeur besichtigen. Insgesamt war es ein perfekt geplanter und für uns ein stressfreier Urlaub, der mit einer pünktlichen Ankunft durch den freundlichen Fahrer, der uns schon am Tag zuvor mit Grandezza durch die engsten Gassen der Stadt gefahren hat, am Flughafen endete. Ich darf Ihnen und allen Mitarbeitern herzlichst für die Organisation der Reise danken und schon jetzt alles Gute für die bevorstehenden Feiertage und ein glückliches neues Jahr wünschen. Bis zum nächsten Mal Ihr GLoibl

We used Mariona and her team both for local transportation needs and for a 1/2 overview tour of highlights in Barcelona. The tour included a private tour of Sagrada Familia that was the highlight of our visit to Barcelona. Our guide, Rosie was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, patient, adapted our path to our interests and provided us with just the right amount of detail and overview. ONA handled our logistics perfectly and the other experiences they arranged for us were exactly what we asked for and were promised. We highly recommend ONA to anyone visiting Barcelona for the first time or for those who wish an in depth experience in any area of Catalonia.

Hi Mariona, We wanted to thank you for the incredible tours you gave us on Aug 10th and 11th in Barcelona. It is one of our favorite stories to tell our friends about how you made Barcelona a very special memory for us. From the 1stday starting out as you said, “on a romantic note” with the Kiss of Freedom mural, and then getting a beautiful historical narration of Barcelona’s rich history as we strolled through the Gothic quarter ending at the Cascada Monumental fountain. The next day with a driver (smart idea), starting with a wonderful breakfast in the Mercat de la Boqueria, then a rush to Park Guell where you got us in late!! Great job! Wow what an imagination Gaudi had! Then off to the most impressive building we have ever seen, the La Sagrada Familia. We would never have appreciated Gaudi’s brilliance if you had not told us the history and stories carved into the façade. Then to go inside and listen to Ave Maria. Absolutely our favorite site! We hope to come back to see it finished in 150 yrs! Finally finishing up on Montjuic with a view of the city was a perfect ending, with a talk about how Barcelona used the Olympics to update and transform much of the city. And finally, your dinner recommendation at the Hotel Condes was amazing! We had a wonderful time! Thank you so much, as you were absolutely the best guide we have ever had. All our Best, Rich and Connie

During the recent 2018 Easter vacations, I had friends from the USA in my home. I am from Barcelona, and I normally "act" as a guide for my friends in my city. These days of Easter I was busy at work and decided to hire a private guide for them to visit Sagrada Familia and the Gothic Quarter. My children (already grown up) asked to join the tour to learn more about Barcelona. The feedback of the visit from everyone that joined the tour was very positive!!!. The learned a lot about Gaudi, the Sagrada Familia and the history of Barcelona. Very professional and good english. I will contact them in the future when I have more visitors.

Mariona arranged for two days of our stay in Barcelona and for airport transfers. Each day was a great experience. We covered a lot of ground with Roser, our guide, the first day. Her knowledge and pleasant personality made for a nice and informative time. Mariona took us for our second day. It was like being with a friend --one who had a lot of knowledge and was so happy to share her city and it's history and culture with us. I highly recommend.
