A perfect way to start your vacation in Barcelona - Lena was our guide. She clearly knows a lot about Barcelona and the history. She had fantastic stories and kept us engaged. Our group asked more in depth and very specific questions and she filled in even more history. She was brilliant and her mother should be proud.

Fantastic tour of historic Barcelona with Augustina - We usually have a good experience with Sandaman walking tours, but this one was perfect. Our guide, Augustina, truly loves Barcelona, and she managed to pass this love to the group. Her tour was very educational, informative and entertaining. She is an Art Historian, so her remarks and insights were very professional and deep. Highly recommend this tour.
