Our guide was Enrique. He is very knowledgious and introducing us a lot of Catalonian history. It was a very nice tour around placa and Gothic area. We highly recommend it.
We really enjoyed the gothic tour. The tour guide Enrique was fantastic, gave fascinating historical stories. We highly recommend to go on this tour for the excellent experience.
Montserrat was an amazing tour guide. She was friendly, charming and highly astute in her knowledge of the city. We learned so much more than we thought we would. We would recommend this tour, and specifically to her, to quite literally everyone we would come across. She was particularly studied in the layers of Barclonetan history across the ages and how it has all culminated into present day. Additionally, she provided amazing recommendations that we plan to utilize the rest of our trip. Absolutely one of a kind tour guide!
