“Amazing tour! I booked it last minute for my birthday and had a great time with the guide Francesco who went above and beyond to make sure he got me a slice of cake and - hear me out! - candles, which he had to run to the shop next door for, to sing happy birthday to me. So glad I chose to do this tour and met such amazing people. Also, the tapas experience was great. The black paella made of cuttlefish has me wanting to go back to BCN!!! Love it!!”
