Incredibly knowledgeable guide who was friendly, professional, and showed us parts of the city we never would have found on our own. We learned so much and had a wonderful time. Easy to communicate with and very punctual. This is the best way to see the city, especially for first time visitors like us.

This was a fabulous introduction to the El Born and Barrí Gótic neighborhoods. Our guide, Christian, was superb: he was very knowledgeable and engaging. We saw so many sites we would have missed on our own. Don’t miss this tour!!
