Entertaining and informative tour. Yes, it's a lot of walking but you're in the Gothic Quarter so there's lots to look at. Highly recommended.

History history history. The tour gave so much insight in history of Barcelona and Spain that I think it was one of the most important tours of the trip. everything from the Mosaic wall, district, to the Roman viaducts and the war-torn area of the town. Such a great history lesson.
