Tyler who was out walking guide for this morning was very friendly, and although not native to Spain, he was very knowledgeable about the city of Barcelona and was able to answer any questions from the group, He was able to take us a little off the tourist track and show interesting things that we would not normally have known were there. Well recommended.

Chrisa was so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour too! This was a great experience for me and my girlfriend!
Katarina did an excellent job giving us history and facts of the city of Barcelona and Spain in general. She made it both informative and interesting and fun! Would definitely recommend doing this-especially on the first day of your visit-to help give you ideas of what else you might want to do…..

Evan’s commentary was excellent. I felt we saw key places in both old and new Barcelona. Learned lots, and appreciate the added list of suggested places to eat. The tour added an additional headset for 1 € which made it easy to keep up with our guide and an additional 2€ subway ticket to get to the newer part of Barcelona. All a good idea! Thanks for the great tour. Recommend!
