Barcelona overview with Omid.

This tour was a very enjoyable experience. Omid is an excellent tour guide. He was very well prepared with extensive subject knowledge and backed it up with visual tools such as photos and graphs to help us fully understand the historical value of the sights that we were seeing. If we had a choice, we would request for Omid to be our guide for every tour.

Ins and Outs of Barcelona

Our tour guide Giovanni was amazing! He knew just what to do to make sure that we were on time, and he kept everything going with a great sense of humor! What a personality! He was a fountain of information, as well! He also had heard about some demonstrations in town, causing a delay at Sagrada Familia. He kept track of what was going on to make sure we didn’t miss our tour times. What a professional!
