Guides such as Bosco, Mirco, Facu, Richard, Olivia, and Trini have earned strong praise for their friendly city commentary. The route begins near Palau de la Música at 6:00 pm and ends in El Born.
“Mirco was a great tour guide. He gave us a walking tour around the Gothic area and Born. He did a good job of doing explaining the history and telling us stories.. The tapas tour was not great. We went to one tapas place and the tapas were cold. Flys near the tapas. The next place had hot tapas that were mediocre. The location was hott inside and uncomfortable. The flamenco dance was entertaining, but they didn’t explain the story or what they were singing about. Was it a love story?”
