Anna was amazing. Even before the tour began, she was proactive in communicating with us and suggesting ideas and things to do. We met her in the morning and explored the Gothic Quarter, Eixample, and several other fascinating spots around Barcelona. She shared rich historical insights in a way that kept all of us, including our kids (ages 9 and 12), fully engaged and entertained. Her friendly and approachable nature made the experience even better. We also got to try some delicious local food along the way, guided by her recommendations. Highly recommend Anna for anyone looking to explore Barcelona in a meaningful and enjoyable way. Thank you, Anna!
