“Wonderful way to see all the highlights of Barcelona in one day. Loved the fact that the tour ended at Familia Segrada so that you could stay there until the church closed. You need a fully charged smart phone at Familia Segrada. Our guide, Anjelica, was wonderful, great sense of humor, and skillfully helped us to get connected so we could use our phones at Familia Segrada”

Walk Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter with an English-speaking guide such as Feliciano, Jordi, Erik, or Alexandra, stopping at three local bars for 9 or more tapas tastes and 4 to 5 drinks. Expect Roman ruins, medieval lanes, Catalan dishes, and enough food for lunch or dinner.

“The description of this tour is inaccurate. The guide was excellent but this was a history tour not a "tapas and wine tasting". We were in a tavern only about 10% of the time. The rest of the time, we walked. The food was below average and the wine was vermouth. We had only a small drop of white wine. The meeting place was difficult to find. it is in a pedestrian only street so taxis cannot drop you there. i do not recommend this tour”
