Maria and her associate took us to a picturesque village where we met a man who operates an old fashioned mill that has been in his family for hundreds of years. We sampled local cheeses and breads that were very tasty and then walked to a waterfall. We also had a delightful lunch. Maria was friendly and informative. Truly a highlight experience.

An excellent tour of Barcelona focusing on places we hadn’t been to before. The tour nicely wrapped up our holiday before being dropped at the airport. Maria was very knowledgable and conveyed a lot of information about the city in a very short time.
