Roger and Carlos were incredible with their knowledge of Barcelona. They made sure we arrived to the right location and also made sure left by high speed train without any issues. Above all else they were sensitive to the walking ability of my wife. They were careful to find shade and places to sit. I highly recommend Roger and Carlos as premier guides for any tour.
