Visit of Gothic and Roman Barcelona - Very informative and interesting visit. Roger, our friendly guide, offered us a discovery of Barcelona through the great moments of its history. Always listening to us, he answered our many questions. I strongly recommend this visit to people who want to discover Barcelona and its history in a minimum of time.

Great interesting Tour with a lovely guide - We had the chance to be only me and my daughter for that tour, so we had our guide Jorge just for us, adapting the tour on our interest. We saw a lot of nice places with great explanations. Jorge was very well prepared, informed us about a lot of things about Spain and some special places in the old town. We really appreciated these nice moments with such a friendly and lovely guide.
