Mariah gave us two hours interesting experience in Barcelona - We had a two-hour tour in Barcelona with our guide, Mariah, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. She brought a unique sense of humour to the tour, sharing jokes and stories that kept us entertained throughout. While some of the historical anecdotes might not have been entirely factual, the way Mariah told them made the tour engaging and memorable. Her lively storytelling added a fun twist to exploring the city. A great way to see Barcelona from a fresh and entertaining perspective!

La Segrada Familia - What a great way to see the city. The skip the line pass to the Sagrada Familia was a great option. Beautiful cathedral and our tour guide did a wonderful job.
