Gloria was punctual, warm, personable, & v knowledgable about Barcelona & Spain history & current events. She was particularly attentive to my elderly mother's slow pace. Her English was perfect. Wish we had had Gloria for subsequent tours in Spain, where many tour guides have strong, difficult to understand accents. The 4 hours were a perfect introduction. Would like to go back to Barcelona & take more specialized tours with Gloria. There were 4 of us, with a driver. Perfect combination.

OMG!! If I could give 10 stars I would! Gloria made our day in Barcelona the best ever, she was fun, smart, and engaging..she embraced all our curiosity about food, people, culture..she took us to all the highlights, the van was clean and air conditioned, she had waters for us..she was flexible if we wanted to stop and see something closer. She understood we didn't want to spend all day in basilicas and cathedrals - we went to market, ate oysters and cherries...we wanted her to stay with us!!!
