About Me

Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona, Spain

Pack your bags and prepare to fall in love with Barcelona, the vibrant heart of Catalonia. This bustling city, graced with Gaudi's expressive architecture, thrilling cultural offerings, and an enticing culinary scene, promises an unforgettable experience.

Immerse in Barcelona's Architectural MarvelsA journey through Barcelona would be incomplete without witnessing renowned architect Antoni Gaudí's masterpieces. Marvel at the surreal yet stunning Sagrada Familia, that reaches skyward with its intricate facades, representing a harmonious blend of nature and faith. Gaudi’s unique architectural language continues in Park Güell, where colourful mosaics and unrivalled city panoramas captivate visitors.

Discover Barcelona's Spirited Street Life Experience the city's dynamic spirit in the famous promenade, La Rambla. Teeming with cafes, florists, street performers, and bustling markets like La Boqueria, it offers an impressive cultural mosaic. Dive into the historic heart of Barcelona, the Gothic Quarter, with its centuries-old buildings and winding alleys, it's the perfect place for a leisurely exploration.

Indulge in Barcelona's Culinary Scene An immersion in Barcelona's culinary scene is a gastronomic adventure to remember. From savoury tapas to fresh seafood and globally acclaimed molecular gastronomy, the city caters to every palate. Don't forget to treat yourself to local favourites such as Pa amb tomàquet (bread rubbed with ripe tomatoes) and the deliciously refreshing drink, Sangria.

Sun, Sand, and SeaYearning for a relaxing day by the sea? Head to La Barceloneta, the city's bustling beach side neighbourhood. Enjoy the golden beach, lively seafood restaurants and the serene Mediterranean Sea that perfectly encapsulates Barcelona's seaside charm.Cater to Your Cultural Cravings Spotlighting Catalan culture, Barcelona is a hub for cultural exhibitions and performances. Witness the mesmerising Flamenco shows or get swept away by the vibrant energy during traditional Castells, or human tower performances, presenting the city's lively cultural heritage.

A Glimpse into the Past Journey back in time with a visit to the city's historic landmarks like the Gothic cathedral of Barcelona or the ancient Roman walls. The Picasso Museum houses an expansive collection of Picasso's work, offering remarkable insights into the artist's relationship with Barcelona.

Barcelona Travel TipsTo get the most out of your Barcelona experience, plan to explore on foot or by bike to discover hidden alleys and squares, and use public transportation for longer trips. Visit main attractions early in the morning to avoid crowds, and don't rush - take the time to take in Barcelona's vibrant atmosphere.

Experience Barcelona with me. I can shape the ultimate Barcelona journey for you, combining major landmarks with hidden gems. Barcelona is a city of magic waiting to be discovered. Embark on this unforgettable journey and let the city's charm enthrall you.

Wow... what a trip!!
Reviewed By Allison F. - La Canada, CA | Traveled to Bali ~ Indonesia ~ East and Southeast Asia
This was by far the best decision we made in regard to our honeymoon. With all the planning we had to do for the wedding, taking on the task of planning a honeymoon was the last thing on our minds. We had never used a travel agent before but now we are completely hooked! My husband found David and it couldn't have worked out better. After an initial call to describe what we were looking for, David made some recommendations and then came up with two different itineraries for us to consider. We ultimately chose Bali and we stayed in two different areas. To say the trip went more than perfect would be an understatement. Everything he set up for us was more than we could have imagined. Both resorts were incredible. I don't think we would have come anywhere close to planning such an amazing trip on our own. Having David's experience and recommendations is invaluable so you know you are really spending your money wisely. We will definitely be using David in the future to plan our
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

We had the BEST trip!!
Reviewed By Kevin S. - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
My wife and I were delighted with the travel planning and support we got from David on a recent trip to Spain and Portugal. David developed a fabulous itinerary that accomplished all our goals, allowing a lot of experience and a reasonable pace/free time. We were especially amazed by the personal tour guides, who made each stop come alive with their local knowledge and generous time. The hotels were great, each reflecting local culture and in great locations for exploring. David also provided a amazing travel app that enabled all the details of travel seamlessly. We found David to be an excellent value and would definitely use him again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best Trip Ever, Want to go again now!
Reviewed By Big T - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Bangkok ~ Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
David was such a wonderful find. He was so knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Had never traveled so far before, but he found a great airline; Starlux and wonderful hotels in Bangkok & Pattaya. He worked within my budget and my time frames. Would go again in a heartbeat as long as David Ko is my travel agent. A great part of your team, a true professional and just a nice guy as well. Want to go somewhere just to work with David Ko again.
David Ko responded

Our Dream trip!!!
Reviewed By Mary T. - Sherman Oaks, CA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Amazing experience with David!!! My husband and I just returned from our dream trip to Italy, and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Everything was expertly planned to perfection. David let us totally relax while every detail of the trip (airport transport, hotels, excursions, etc) was seamlessly handled. When we almost missed a flight or when we accidentally left valuables in one hotel, he proactively made sure we were taken care of. I will always use David for my personal trips and will recommend them to my business for professional trips!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
