This was the best experience with Viator to date. Our guide Rau was curtious, friendly, accomodating and a true local every place we toured. He was very knowledgable about the history and current focuses of Catelonia. We could spend another three days with him if we had the time. Well worth the cost.... Thank you Pau!
A very awesome way to get away from the city and experience something different!

Pau was an amazing tour guide. He took us to the most beautiful places and was kind enough to serve as our personal photographer.

Ramona was a fantastic guide! She took us to all the great sites and shared history and culture of Barcelona. This tour was worth its weight in gold. It would have taken us hours and hours to do the research and planning. We truly were with an expert.
Excellent tour

With what an amazing experience to be somewhere that Charlemagne and Napoleon have also been! Our guide Pedro, was very informative, and patient with us as we were taking our time to look around at everything and take lots of pictures! We had a great day!

We had a wonderful time with Pedro as we explored several villages. He was very informative on each village. Our ride was comfortable and lunch delicious with a view of the lake. We highly recommend this tour.
Just what we wish all of our tours were like.

Pedro was on time, very personable throughout the day, and knew the subject matter. But he didn't fill the time with canned speeches Instead, he seemed to naturally tailor his narrative to my interests. It was relaxed and comfortable all day. He didn't rush me through places like so many guides do. He seemed to sense things I had a special interest in and delve into them more. The pace was so perfect I didn't notice it -- not slow, not fast. But we covered all the sites. I couldn't have asked for a more pleasant, informative day.
