Kathie our guide was amazing, rearranged the tour so that we cold go up the cable car before a “strike” occurred

Could not take the tour.

Waleska_O, Sep 2026
Disappointment, from all the tours that we reserved and payed with your company, we could not make this one (cable car, Montjuiic Castle,). There was a strike on the cable car to Montjuiic and you guys never told us before making the tour. I sent a refund request to your company and we expect a compensation from this problem. The price of our tour was $400 for four people. Thanks for your help on this matter.

Well worth doing this trip

Edward was spectacular. The fortress was the highlight of the tour. Edward took care of us every step of the way. We took subway, funicular, cable with complete confidence. He explained sites of importance with historical and cultural emphasis that made the events and unique sites important.
