Alex (female) was an amazing guide! She was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about Barcelonas history, culture, and local fun facts. She answered all of our questions and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the tour. The food was excellent with a great variety of authentic tapas and local spots. Highly recommend this tour and Alex as your guide! ????

Ok first off..James was AMAZING! Funny, informative, interesting and super helpful. A joy to have as our guide! We took this tour in Barcelona and had such a great time with not only our other friends, James but the entire group of strangers we met were all delightful! Were continuing our travels to Valencia and Madrid and are now planning on taking a devout tour there as well! Thanks James for a great evening!

Fun tour walking through the gothic quarter. Andrea was a great guide, very knowledgable. I liked the three different tapas places as I would never have gone there on my own. My only complaint ... too much food!! Thank you
