Sara was very personable and was successful in getting the group comfortable with eachother from the beginning of the tour to the end. She was very knowledgeable about the history, tapas, and area. Her ability to incorporate the history and traditions made an enjoyable time for all of us. I would recommend this to all travelers. My advice would to reserve this event at the beginning of your visit to Barcelona, so you can revisit the area for drinks, and/or dinner later in the trip. Only recommendation would be to have drink options at each location vs. pre decided drinks, i.e. wine instead of Cava. We had a great time!

Rei was an excellent guide. The food and wine we got to try made the tour worthy already. And we had some walking tour and Barcelona history. We're glad we joined.
