Fantastic family tour for teenagers.
Stephanie was a fantastic tour guide who had in-depth knowledge of all the sites we saw. She was also very flexible, stopping for gelato and a special Corpus Christi day at the Cathedral, which were not on the tour. My teenage boys said Barcelona was pretty cool, which is about as big of a compliment as you get. Wish we had a couple more hours with her.
