Latest Reviews

Great tour at a very fair price

15 February 2024

There were only 6 of us on the tour led by Emilio and he did a great job. The subsequent visit to the Sagrada Familia was a highlight. Daniela had gotten the time slot tickets in good time and that was a good thing, because there were three other giant ships in the harbor, the AIDAcosma. The flow of tourists was correspondingly large. Thank you for everything!
