Olga was a good guide, but the Viator information provided was not. We were told to be at the meeting point by 9 AM for approximately a 3 hour tour. We were there just before 9AM. Olga came rushing up about 9:20 saying they always start at 9:30AM. Also, she said the tour would be 2.5 hours. That is NOT approximately 3 hours.
We had a great tour of the Old Town. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and patient. He did not hurry us. It was a long tour, however, so eat before you go!
Very good tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. She met us at our hotel on La Ramble and gave us an extensive tour. We were very happy and learned a lot about Barcelona. Highly recommended.
We had an awesome tour guide, Thanks Marcus!! This is a 2 1/2 hour walking tour starting at placa de catalunya. Marcus was on time and greeted us with a smile. After some questions about what we wanted to see we were on our way. This tour included history about Barcelona FC, Las Ramblas, Romans, Jews, Templar Knights, St. George, Churches, Martyrs, inquisition, Gothic vs. Catalunya architecture, Napoleon, Gaudi, Miro, Dali and much more. This is a very worthwhile tour. And to top it off Marcus recommended a fantastic restaurant for lunch Salamanca
