This was absolutely amazing. Carlos our tour guide was knowledgeable, patient and just fun and exiting. He took he took his time teaching my wife how to ride the Segway. The most important thing was he tailored the trip how we wanted it.
My wife and I are senior citizens and have never been to Spain or on a Segway, so this was a first for us on both fronts. We booked a private 3 hour 'Montjuïc Grand Tour' fearing we'd hold back a larger and younger group, but we quickly learned that we shouldn't have had that fear at all. After our guide Philipp gave us a quick Segway lesson we were on our way with confidence. Not only did we see many more points of interest than we ever imagined were part of the tour but we were amazed at the in-depth knowledge that Philipp had about the history of each stop and about Barcelona in general. He helped us with pictures and videos of ourselves riding the Segways (proof!) and expertly answered a multitude of questions about things we saw along the way. We really couldn't recommend this tour enough. Go see the church and the parks like everyone else, but include this in your itinerary and you'll be very happy you did, no matter what age you are. It was FUN!
Thank you very much for your revew! Was a pleasure toride with you! Hope to see you again in of our points in Europe!
