Awesome tour - Rolene did a fantastic tour of Barcelona with us! We lucked out and other guests cancelled, so we got a private tour. Her knowledge of the history of the areas we visited was great. The walk was leisurely and easy for most people to do. She was willing to customize the route for our interests and give us time to buy a few souvenirs, etc. English is her first language, so she was easy to understand and gave us excellent recommendations for dinner. We would recommend any tour that Rolene is guiding!!

Very nice intro to the gothic quarter - Tamara was great 👍. She shared historical and architectural information in an entertaining way. The walk was not too easy or too strenuous and Tamara provided good tips on what sights we might want to come back and spend more time on.
