Highly Recommend for a Barcelona Overview
Rocco was great! His English was very clear (even though he was born and raised in Barcelona) and he was extremely knowledgeable. My husband and I agreed that it was money well spent. We would highly recommend taking this tour on your first day to have a better overview of the city and where you want to concentrate your attention during successive days of your visit.

Great tour
Very balanced tour of walking, sites and history for family with a stroller and 4 years old. It was also nice to get the bus to go to a few other spots because it was hot! Miro was a great tour guide.
