Rod is good - Rod is amazing and is like a walking history / fun facts encyclopaedia. Was just my friend and I but the tour still went on and we learnt a lot from him. The pace was good and will recommend this to family and friends.

Amazing experience - Sergio is an amazing guide. First, we were late because we underestimated the time to get there. But Sergio waited for us and the other couple from America were also very forgiving. The traffic was bad getting out of Barcelona but Sergio was a good sport about it and make sure we have time in each stop. And did we say we LOVE the paella on the beach!! We had a wonderful experience!
