Enrique was amazing! So much knowledge and information was shared. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and great with extra questions.
Enrique was a wonderful tour guide! He gave the best tour—we learned a lot and it was fun. We tasted a candy, learned about fun traditions, and tried a good tapa. It was a great historic experience, thanks Enrique!
Laura was a great tour Guide and she is very knowledgeable
There was no Flamenco show and the tapas was 1 piece of food and 1 drink. The tour guide, Laura, was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Walking tour was full of cool Historical facts. And Laura has an obvious love for her country that was infectious. She as a lot of fun.
Laura, the guide, was phenomenal! Interesting, expert in the subject, smiling, available for our questions and requests... Laura accompanied us through the beauties of the Gothic Quarter. She did not dwell on useless information, but on the contrary, she told us what is most beautiful and important to know about Barcelona. Top!
