Must Do In Barcelona - Loved the tour guide she was amazing. The one thing I would suggest is that if you are going to call this a tour that includes the Jewish quarter then maybe you should incorporate going inside the synagogue or adding more items to see. There was a 5 min mention of the Jewish people of Barcelona and we saw the wall of the synagogue and nothing else.

Friendly guide with lots of insights - Tamara was excellent with taking us around the gothic quarter and jewish quarter. Her knowledge of history and architecture clued us in on the evoking nature of the city. We later used her suggestions to grab a fantastic bite to eat. I’m glad to have booked this tour.
