I and my sister-in-law (both elderly) visited Barcelona for a cruise and engaged Albert's company to take us from our hotel to the cruise ship at the start of the cruise and again to pick us up following the cruise for a short tour of Barcelona and then to the airport. We could not have been happier with Albert's services and attention, from the booking process right through to his farewell hug at the airport. He advised us that he is currently having difficulties, as are most of the private driver companies in Barcelona, with the taxi drivers trying to block competition from private operators, who need a special licence to enter the port area. Despite these difficulties, Albert was able to organise a licensed driver to take us to the ship, and he and a driver picked us up after the cruise. Albert was most obliging, taking us wherever we wanted to go, including stopping for water and then the best coffee I'd had since before the cruise (ship coffee is always awful!). He was very knowledgeable about Barcelona and the highlight for me was a revisit of Sagrada Familia, and a first view of Casa Batllo. We felt entirely safe and cared for by Albert, who even sent a message to check that we had arrived home safely - a true gentleman!
