5.00Steven was amazing and so full of knowledge while also making it fun for the little ones.
Disappointing as there was no Whisper System to hear guide.

2.00Barcelona city is exciting, busy and noisy. Our group of 12 had No whisper speaker system so you could not hear the guide until we stopped and huddled in a group. We would walk to a place of interest with no commentary then stop and try to listen to information. Our guide was very good and gave us interesting insights, however a whisper system would have greatly improved the experience. It was nice to be in a small group but this had no advantage to a larger free walking tour with headsets which I have also done in the past. Clearly listening to the information and history is more important than less people. I would not recommend this tour.
Great tour!
