• Rating: 5 “One of the best tours I've ever taken”

  Reviewed by Barbara from Green Cove Springs, United States on December 21st, 2012 My half-day tour of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona was absolutely one of the best tours I've ever taken. My guide, Nancy Daum Daily, was thoroughly informed about the history and architecture of the area and she was happy to stop or make diversions in her route to show me places that were of special interest to me. She knew all the hidden courtyards, secret gardens, places to view remains of the old Roman wall, etc., and at the end of our tour she took me to a local vegetarian restaurant, which would have been very difficult to find on my own.
