Q: Is Ciutat Vella accessible?

All day Barcelona city tour

We enjoyed the all day tour of Barcelona with our tour guide Tatiana. I would have rated it 5 stars but our tour was half in Engish and half in Spanish. We signed up for an English tour and it was very distracting for her to repeat everything she said in Spanish. Also, the Viator said we would go up to the Mountain on the first stop and walk around. We did not go up the mountain. Otherwise a very nice tour.

A fab tour inspite of the rain!

Juan Carlos was an excellent guide .. the weather was awful, he still gave a very enthusiastic & informative tour. We have visited Barcelona many times & we’re delighted to find hidden gems & learn more history. Juan took the time constantly check with tour walkers to make sure everyone stayed together. Highly recommended tour operator keeping us well informed throughout the entire experience booking through to the activity.
