Danny was the most amazing tour guide. He is a local, so he really knows so much about Barcelona and all of its history. He also was hilarious which was a bonus because the tour was super entertaining. Nothing about the tour was boring and I left knowing SO MUCH more about the gothic quarter and other interesting/fun facts about the area. I’m so happy I chose this tour, I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. 10/10 recommend
Very informative and fun tour with Dani... Best guide ever. He knows a lot about Barcelona.
