Very informative tour.

Xavi was the tour guide and he managed to show us almost all interesting places in the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter. We met smoothly at the accepted meeting point and had a wonderful experience together. We learned a lot also. This tour should not be missed.

Visit of Gothic and Roman Barcelona

Very informative and interesting visit. Roger, our friendly guide, offered us a discovery of Barcelona through the great moments of its history. Always listening to us, he answered our many questions. I strongly recommend this visit to people who want to discover Barcelona and its history in a minimum of time.

Great interesting Tour with a lovely guide

We had the chance to be only me and my daughter for that tour, so we had our guide Jorge just for us, adapting the tour on our interest. We saw a lot of nice places with great explanations. Jorge was very well prepared, informed us about a lot of things about Spain and some special places in the old town. We really appreciated these nice moments with such a friendly and lovely guide.
