Old town and Modernism - We had a fantastic tour of the Old town and Gaudi's buildings with Henrieta. We could listen to her all day. The over 2hour long tour flew by and we definitely learned a lot about Barcelona and its history. Definitely recommend this experience!

Outstanding guided evening walking tour of Barcelona - Henrietta is fantastic. What a brilliant tour. Cannot recommend enough. My son and I saw a real expanse of the City of Barcelona and enjoyed the depth of a knowledgeable tour guide. Given the heat in Barcelona - the evening walk was perfect. Henrietta's knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for Barcelona and its history was so rewarding. You need good comfortable walking shoes as you will be covering a lot of ground, but Barcelona is beautiful and we will definitely be back to explore it again. Thank you for the introduction Henrietta - you are a star!
