We are very happy we booked this guided tour and recommend it strongly. We didn't realise we had booked a Spanish tour, but the tour guide was willing to translate to English for us. She had a lot of knowledge about the book and about Barcelona. The group was small and we were able to ask any questions we had. It was very special that we were allowed inside many of the buildings.

I liked it very much! Cristina, the guide, knew a lot about the history of the city and of the book of course. By following the steps of the characters of the book you get to learn about history and social life of ancient Barcelona. Great!

If you are interested in gothic architecture this tour is worth doing. The guide was knowledgeable but most of the information as given in Spanish with only snippets in English. As this as advertised as an English speaking tour we were the only English speakers we were disappointed to have missed most of the commentary.

The tour was interesting, but a bit too long, mainly due to the fact that there were actually two groups - English and Spanish - combined in one, so the guide repeated everything in two languages.

Outstanding! Excellent info provided. Antonia (I think that was her name), made the tour an easy path to understand the history of Catalonia, Spain. Without any doubts, I will take it again.
