Christina was at port on schedule to pick us up at cruise port. Her suggestion to take on a day tour to Montserrat and Sitges for lunch was great. She is knowledgeable and very personable. Enjoyed the day immensely and then transferred to our hotel at check in time.

Christina was amazing! She picked us up at the hotel on time, and took us on a walking tour that exceeded all of our expectations. We saw everything that we requested, and more. We took a short time out for coffee, and to plan the last hour, so she could make sure we saw everything we wanted to, and a few others she felt were important. Her knowledge and history of Barcelona really made it a great tour. Thank you Christina!!!

Cristina was a marvelous guide! She adapted the tour based on our desires and we covered a lot of Barcelona, including trips on buses and the underground. She made lots of recommendations where to eat and shop and visit on the tour. The history she shared was fascinating. We definitely recommend her!
