Recommended if you want to learn more about the book and Barcelona's history - We are very happy we booked this guided tour and recommend it strongly. We didn't realise we had booked a Spanish tour, but the tour guide was willing to translate to English for us. She had a lot of knowledge about the book and about Barcelona. The group was small and we were able to ask any questions we had. It was very special that we were allowed inside many of the buildings.

If you are interested in gothic... - <p>If you are interested in gothic architecture this tour is worth doing. The guide was knowledgeable but most of the information as given in Spanish with only snippets in English. As this as advertised as an English speaking tour we were the only English speakers we were disappointed to have missed most of the commentary.</p>
