4.00Great tour with lots of good information and wonderful company. I liked how Katerina shared city history and a few personal anecdotes about her experience in Barcelona thus far. Her comments were witty and very funny. It’s a left-leaning tour politically and there were a few comments that seemed a little anti-Semitic, but I guess that’s just Europe for you. I took off one star for certain comments and for us not having time to stop and take some quick pictures at famous landmarks, but overall, great value for money and I would recommend Katerina and this tour to anyone.
Great tour to start your trip off!!

5.00Evan was a fantastic tour guide! You could really tell he loves what he does! He even went the extra mile to provide personal assistance buying the metro tickets, and also sharing a list of recommended places to eat at! This tour gave you a great overt view of so many of the popular places! Highly recommended!!
Amazing tour!

A Great Overview of Old and New Barcelona

5.00Overall a good way to get information about historic Barcelona and the newer version of the city. You move from ancient Roman times to the newer section (20th century) on the Metro but get a good look at the Gothic quarter, La Rambla and then beyond. You do see a lot but it's hard to cover all these time periods and times. Chrisa did a great job showing details on her tablet when we needed more information and led the group well. Would do again!
Excellent and Knowledgeable Guide

5.00Chryssa was a great guy. She’s very knowledgeable. Very patient and kind. She took the time to explain the architecture in the buildings in the history of us. She also had pictures to show us what things were like back then so we can compare now. I feel like I understand the city more and it’s very helpful because Barcelona is big. We even took the train to get from one stop to the other and when it was needed. Highly recommend!

5.00I learned so much more than I expected! I did not know much about the history of Barcelona or Catalonia, but I walked away with a much deeper appreciation. Our tour guide was informative, kind, funny, and enthusiastic. I was incredibly pleased with our tour!!
