5.00Thais was a wonderful guide! She made the experience incredibly fun and was really knowledgeable. The montesrrat was incredible to see. We did the tapas and wine (and whilst the wine and food wasn’t to my preferred pallet) it was beautiful and Thais was a great host. We would highly recommend this experience!
