5.00My mom and I started our trip to Barcelona with this tour. We had a fantastic time! Pia is so knowledgeable, entertaining, and friendly. We learned so much about the history of the area and the architectural innovations that were developed over time, and we really enjoyed getting to chat with Pia. She also gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and knitting shops. This was the perfect way to start our trip together, and we couldn't recommend it more. Thank you!
A phenomenal way to see the city!

5.00We went on the Barcelona & The Sea tour and had a great time with Ricard! We loved how he explained architecture, history, and urbanism in such an engaging way. We learned a lot and had fun along the way. This is my second time to go on a BAW tour, and I will keep going every time I come to Barcelona. I would highly recommend it to anyone who really wants to get to know the city, beyond the usual touristy stuff. Thanks, Ricard! Hope to be be able to go on another BAW tour again later this year!
