Christopher and Olivia are great! The locations are wonderful, and they both did a great job talking about the history and importance of them. Would recommend!
I really enjoyed the beautiful scenery and brief review of Barcelona county side in a day
Day well spent with a taste of 3 different stops, right outside Barcelona. Olivia and Chris were superb on their dedication, I mean it.
Our guides Chris and Olivia were very nice and helpful. We enjoyed our trip very much.
Outstanding experience. Chris and Olivia did a fantastic job. Great pick up/drop off location and ample time to scroll through destinations and hot spots!!
Olivia and Chris are so amazing to guide us through three different spots, what a wonderful day!
Matteo and Carlos are great guides. They made the tour fun, took care of the group and told us many fun facts of the places we went to.
We had great time with Carlos and Mateo. They are excellent. The description did not mention bringing any swimming costume. Also, the division of time could have en better with more time at the beach.
Carlos, Mateo, and Roberto were fantastic! We got to see so much in a day and really enjoyed it. If you want to go slow and see everything, this trip is not for you. I honestly wish we left the guy who was late TWICE.
Mateo and Carlos are very knowledgeable and funny , learned about history of places visited.Inspite of the heat on walking tours , they were quite considerate on where to meet.For suggestion to pick places to eat more local and near some shopping option for souvenirs . Also Roberto our driver an excellent on driving the winding roads. This trip was wonderful and would recommend to my friends and family .Regards Phebe Los Angeles California .
