5.00We did this tour as a family and absolutely loved it! It was the perfect mix of fun, history, and local culture. Even the kids were engaged the whole time, especially when we discovered some hidden spots in the old town. It felt personal, not touristy at all. A great way to explore Barcelona together — we’ll remember this experience for a long time!
