Awesome experience! - Ana was an awesome guide! Highly recommend this tour. The walking is very casual and flat, I was fine in sandals. The tour goes to 5 different restaurants, with historical site seeing in between. Ana is very knowledgeable about the culture and shared her knowledge in a comfortable friendly manner. The drinks and tapas are amazing! Some of the spots I’d never have found on my own: incredibly cute authentic family owned tapas and wine. I did this my first day in Barcelona, and although I was tired from travel, I’m so glad I pumped myself up to go because it was an awesome way to get a foundation!
