Perfect time in Barcelona - We were for a weekend to Barcelona and we thought that a walking tour around the historical city centre could be great, and definitvely it was. The guide explained everything in a very amusing way, specially some secrets about the city. I strongly recomend this tour and, of course, do it with Foto Bike Tour Barcelona. It’s worth!!!!!

Unforgettable Personalised Walking Tour of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and Born Neighborhood - My friends and I had a wonderful experience on the private walking tour of the Gothic Quarter and Born neighborhood in Barcelona. Our tour guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable about the history and secrets of the city's old part. The tour was a fun and interesting way to get to know the old part of the city, and we learned a lot about its culture and architecture. I highly recommend this activity to anyone who wants to discover (even if you're a local, so that you can rediscover) the essence of Barcelona in a unique and personalized way. It is definitely worth it
