Great

What a fun and interactive tour. We probably would not have explored the Gothic District of Barcelona had we not gone on this tour. Mick was a great guide. Fun facts and entertaining with his history lessons. Bars that were definitely off the beaten path. The four of us loved it and will look for Devour Tours in our future travels.
