Loved the tour. All truths were part of it which I appreciated. I learned a lot. Thank you! The walk was manageable. Sunday morning was a good time. Less people in the streets.

Amazing!

Our guide Tamara was wonderful! She explained everything in an interesting and detailed manner. We gained knowledge and had fun! She made our time in Barcelona fabulous! It was 39C/102F so it was quite hot, but I would go again!

Really interesting and educational !
