Here’s an overview of your tour
If I were to sum Barcelona up in two words, I'd choose "food" and "Gaudi." Join me for a unique tour combining stories from the life of the most famous Barcelona local, Gaudi, and delicious sweet treats.
From hot chocolate and churros to Santa Maria del Mar and Gotico, you'll get to enjoy lots of hidden gems that many tourists don't get to enjoy. If there is any special place you would like to visit, let me know. I can 100% personalize the tour according to your wishes.
