Great walking tour through old town Barcelona - Our guide Mariah was excellent. As we strolled through the gothic quarter and el Born, she had amazing stories about the history of Barcelona, dating back to the Roman times.. She was very lively and kept the entire group entertained for 2 hours. Highly recommended.
