5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

I loved this tour. The wine caves were amazing and the tour itself was so interesting and informative. Sitges was beautiful. The guide was great, he really took the time to engage with everyone on the tour. He was pleasant and easy to talk to, and enthusiastic about the things we got to see and do on this tour.

My Review

Wonderful interesting tour. I don't think I ever cared much about architecture before this trip and my introduction to Gaudi on this tour. Parc Guiell was so impressive and fun, and I appreciated the guide's extra information about everything we were seeing. While would have enjoyed experiencing the park on my own it was a better experience for a first-timer like myself to know a little about the creator of the park and some night into why and were certain things are in the park. The Segrada Familia was absolutely breathtaking, even just from the outside. I had seen pictures before, but nothing can really prepare you for how amazing this structure is when you see it in person and are standing there looking up at it. Once again the guide was terrific, and I loved how she made sure we could all hear her when she talked or explained something.

My Review

This was a fantastic way to start my Barcelona adventure. I felt like I really got an introduction to the city and that region. Montjuic and the cathedral alone were well worth the cost of the trip, and the Pablo Espanyol village was a delight! The guide was amazing, speaking at least 4 languages. I appreciated how she made sure that those of us who spoke English were able to hear her when she spoke English, and the same for the people on the tour speaking Spanish, German and French. I truly enjoyed this tour and recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting a taste of what Barcelona has to offer.
