This was relaxed and engaging. Dominic was our guide, and in low season it was us and one other couple. The great thing is the tour combines historic locations with local food. Dom is experienced with and has practical knowledge about Barcelona. He has a great sense of humor and can customize the experience to the group’s interests. We felt ourselves warming to Barcelona on this tour and went on to have a really great week there. Highly recommended!
