Nach 2020 habe ich die Tour zum 2. Mal mitgemacht und den gleichen Guide gehabt. Die Tour durch das Barri Gotic war wieder sehr informativ. Der Guide warte mit einigen Anekdoten und geschichtlichen Hintergründe auf. Es wurde zu keiner Zeit langweilig oder zuviel.

Die Führung hat uns super gefallen, die Zeit verging wie im Fluge und es gab viele Informationen, die man so nie bekommen hätte.Ansonsten wurden auch alle Fragen umfangreich beantwortet.Wir hatten zuvor schon 4 Tage in Barcelona verbracht und bekamen so noch Zusatzinfos,die wir so noch nicht kannten.Wir können die Aktivität also wärmstens empfehlen.

Wir haben die Führung mit einer Jugendgruppe von Kids im Alter von 9 bis 15 Jahren gebucht. Der Guide hat sich größtenteils auf die Gruppe eingestellt und die Führung Jugendgerecht gestaltet. Leider war die Führung etwas zu lange, so dass die Konzentration der Jugendlichen am Ende stark nach ließ. Schön war, dass er extra für uns eine separate Führung angeboten hat.
