Marc Farr\u00e9-Escofet<\/h5>\n

CEO & Founder<\/span><\/p>\n

Hello, my name is Marc Farr\u00e9-Escofet! I am a native of Barcelona, passionate about travelling and fully committed to showing you the very best my city has to offer.<\/p>\n

In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends, in winter I am often found in the nearby Pyrenees skiing or practicing other winter sports. When summer comes, my other passion is sailing, which gives me the opportunity to explore the many coves along the Costa Brava and, if I\u2019m lucky, to catch and eat some fine fish\u2026<\/p>\n

With a background in Marketing, and having worked as an Export Manager for many years, I have had the opportunity to travel around the world, to meet colorful people and to learn about their cultures. I am also very fortunate to be well connected in the local tourism industry.<\/p>\n

Thanks to these experiences and my deep interest in the world of tourism I established Barcelona By Road, with an \u201cOpen Minded\u201d vision to visitors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    I recently organised my best friends hen weekend to Barcelona. She is an avid rider and loves her wine so when I found this tour online I was thrilled. The tour exceeded my expectations. Anna (our tour guide) was super and looked after us so well. She picked us up in a mini-bus and drove us to where we would do the riding. This was a wonderful experience through beautiful serene countryside. The horses had very good temperaments and were clearly well looked after. The winery we visited was a small independent organic eco winery that produce some stunning wines. We were shown around before the tasting and the tour was so so informative, engaging and warm. We left feeling rather merry and having purchased quite a lot of wine and were dropped back to our apartment having had a lovely day.<\/p>\n

    My wife and I recently spent 5 days in Barcelona. We wanted to tour the Dali museum and booked a private tour through our hotel (Casa Fuster). We couldn’t have been more pleased. Marc (one of the owners) was our guide and he was extremely pleasant and well informed. Even took us on a tour of a medieval village along the way. We stopped for a great lunch at a seaside fishing village right on the water! I would HIGHLY recommend these guys for your private tour!<\/p>\n

    Mark accompanied 5 guests and myself on a wonderful horseback tour through a local organic winery. Transportation was included so we didn’t have to worry about a thing.The horses were very well mannered and even my mother was very comfortable on the horseback ride through the vineyard. We also had a private tour of the winery which was very informative and the winery guide was an absolute delight. The tour also included lunch and wine tasting at a picturesque shaded table overlooking the vineyard. This was a memory I will always cherish. Mark does a great job of planning unique trips that help you get to know the local culture and history.<\/p>\n
