“If you are in Barcelona for a short period of time...I highly recommend this 1/2 day tour. Ferran picked us up from the hotel exactly when he said he would and took us to places that we would not have seen without his guidance. We saw amazing architecture, panoramic views of this historic city, the Sagrada Familia, the mall that used to be a Bull Fighting arena and so much more. Having a knowledgeable, friendly guide like Ferran was a perfect way to explore this amazing city when you are only staying there for a short period of time. Thank you Ferran for a great day!
