Great tour. Our guide Juan was awesome, very knowledgeable, passionate and helpful. We had great Tapas too!

Ok

Joanne_H, Dec 2025

This tour did not have any audio and needs it ! We had to huddle around to hear and therefore couldn't listen and take photos or move away at all and it was information heavy. The tapas bar at the end was a long walk ! And we were served one bowl of square chips with maionasse between 2 - even though some people left early and therefore she could have still purchased and serves their tappas for some variety. I can get chips at home. The tour was "ok" I would try a different one next time. Too long spent at Leggo Land and too long explaining things that I couldn't hear and so we left early also and didn't see the last two places. I booked this tour especially for the hospital but ended up choosing not to see it because of such a long walk to the tapas bar.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Joanne, Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear the tour wasn't the best for you. We operate in small groups (there were only 5 guests on your date) specifically to avoid using headsets and to maintain a more personal, less 'touristic' feel. Our itinerary includes a walk past the local hospital and toward the Sant Pau area to support authentic, family-run businesses away from the main tourist traps. We appreciate the feedback regarding the walking distance and the time spent at various stops and have forwarded to the appropriate personnel for review, as it helps us refine our guest experience for the future.
