5.00We fully enjoyed our tour! Our guide, Rosa, was knowledgeable and passionate. We gained so much from her tour as opposed to just going to Sagrada Família on our own. I highly recommend it.

5.00Excellent experience. We paid for the tower tour, but due to weather, the tower was closed. Our guide told us we should automatically receive a refund for the difference (with roof tour/no roof tour) but still waiting for that to happen.

5.00Visiting Barcelona was an incredible experience. The city is full of life, vibrant culture, and stunning architecture. Walking along Las Ramblas, exploring the Gothic Quarter, and admiring Gaudí’s masterpieces like Sagrada Familia and Park Güell was truly unforgettable. The local people were friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious with many options to try authentic Catalan cuisine. The city offers a perfect mix of history, modernity, and charm. Barcelona is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for culture, beauty, and unforgettable memories
Informative but tour guide was difficult to understand

4.00Beautiful sites but I signed up for an English tour guide and she spoke English but I only could understand about 50-75% of her talk. Very nice lady, but I guess I am not used to a Spanish accent yet…
Do the Sagrada!
