Despite a rainy cold day, Camelia provided our small family group with an insightful tour of the city. We enjoyed the sights and the history and lore surrounding them made the tour memorable.

Walking tour of Old Town - Barcelona

Had a wonderful walking tour experience with Fabio in Old Town - Barcelona. He was very prompt in his arrival and pickup at our hotel. He is very knowledgeable and aware of the history of Barcelona. He takes his time explaining the history as we walked through areas as if walking back in time. We highly recommend Fabio for your touring needs in Barcelona. Jackie & Randy
