“Wunderbare Führung mit Leo”
Leo hat uns durch die Gassen und die Geschichte von Barcelona geführt. Wir haben Ecken und Winkel gesehen, die wir alleine nie entdeckt hätten. Unsere Erwartungen wurden mehr als erfüllt. Danke nochmal

“Excellent walking tour with brilliant guide”
To see Barcelona you need to go on a tour like this. Everyone sees the famous facade of Sagrada Famillia but you need to see the other sides as well. With our brilliant guide Pollina we saw this plus Gaudi houses and the original gothic heart of the city. And all this in a 3 hour walk for free, just pay a tip...the guides deserve one.

We are not big tech people so one thing I'd like to say is that keep an eye on your texts as our guide had sent us a few texts before the tour and we didn't see any of them. It turns out we were the only ones who booked so I told her it was ok if she wanted to cancel but she graciously gave us the tour anyway and didn't skimp at all. She was very excited about the content and knowledgeable about Barcelona and the tour sites. Again, for Polina to dedicate three hours of her time just to us two was going above and beyond in my opinion.

Wir haben wirklich Glück gehabt, dass Miguel unsere Tour gemacht hat. Er hat nachdem er mitgekriegt hat,dass wir alle deutsch sprechen spontan auf deusch anstatt englisch gewechselt. Die Tour hat 3 Stunden gedauert und war super interessant,Wir sind so froh gewesen es gemacht zu haben. Ich kann und werde es jedem empfehlen. Es hat mir nur leid getan,dass wir nur 6 Personen gewesen sind und dementsprechend sein Verdienst geringen ausgefallen ist.
