Valentina was great as a guide! We were a group of 8, and she managed us flawlessly. We had a hail storm in the middle of it and didnt detract at all from how great the tour was. The places we went to were excellent and we got insight into the city and culture. Highly recommend for people of all ages - 18 +

Our tour guide, Valentina, was the best. She had a great personality. She was clearly very knowledgable and was the primary reason why we loved the tour so much. The food and wine was good as well.

This tour was fabulous! I would highly recommend it anyone who not only wants to learn the history of Barcelona but also want to taste authentic local food and drinks. Our tour guide, Nika, knew her history, her food and her local drinks. She was kind, engaging and enthusiastic.
