Gothic Quarter and Sangria tour. - My first trip to Barcelona with my teenage daughter and son was this past July. I would totally recommend a tour of the Gothic quarter! Juliana was wonderful and gave us so much history of Barcelona. My children and I had such a great time with her on our 2.5hr tour. We tried delicious Torrone and spent a little time in a beautiful old church. Definitely book a tour of the Gothic quarter and if u get to chose pick your guide to be Juliana. She was so sweet and my children immediately felt comfortable with her. We can’t wait to go back to Barcelona! Ty Juliana for your dedication to teaching us about Barcelona and all of its beauty and history.

From the Gothic Quarter to the Beach! - Juliana was a wonderful guide! She was incredibly knowledgeable and adapted the tour to meet a special request we had. The walk ended near the beach at a restaurant with the best Sangria we had in Spain.
