Barcelona walking tour with Paula - We have just completed the Sandeman walking tour of Barcelona with Paula. Such an enjoyable 2 1/2 hours - time so well spent and our guide Paula was so knowledgeable and really knew her subjects (even when the group veered off topic !) She also provided an extensive list of good places to eat and visit which was a lovely bonus.

Wonderful experience and taste of Barcelona! - Paula was our guide and did an amazing job as we explored the old town. She had great insight into the history and culture and could answer just about anything! She also provided great tips on places to eat, types of tapas to try and what else to see. Paula’s tour is a must to start your time in Barcelona.

Amazing walking tour of Gothic Quarter - Our tour was with Augustina was one of the best walking tours I have been on! The tour was interactive and Augustina asked us questions along the way which I thought was nice. The tour was truly an incredible way to dip our toes into the history and architecture of this beautiful city, and Augustina got me and my family excited to explore more!

It's Free Tour but I had to pay 6 Euros. - The hike was not done because of weather conditions and because there were no more people to do it. The worst I had paid 6 Euros and I didn't get it back
