This was a great, informative and fun walking tour! Francisco was an amazing guide! He told us interesting details of all the places we visited and showed us how to buy tickets (best value) for the Metro.
This is a great tour for those who only have a short amount of time to spend in Barcelona. We saw a great mix of new and old, as well as many great photo spots. Riding the metro was a fun experience to add to the tour. Mirto was a wonderful tour guide! She was full of knowledge!
Our guide, Mario, was very knowledgeable and personable! We learned so much about Barcelona. It was very hot and Mario made sure that we all stayed hydrated and were as comfortable as possible.
Lots of great insight about the exterior of the Sagrada Familia, as well as great info about the Rambla.
