These two sites in Barcelona are amazing and seeing them in a small group (only 7 in ours) made a huge difference. It was a very personal tour with a fantastic guide (Jordi or George (in America). He explained so much and included stories that brought the experience of the creation/building to life. He helped (with things like stairs and getting the best photo from certain sites). Plus, he knew a great deal of history and was obviously deeply appreciative of Gaudi's works. He was the best guide!

Every objective I see was beautiful,extraordinary arhitecture,nice people who work there,theweather was little cold,,,,its better to visit Barcelona in summer when is hot outside.The Barcelona stadium is huge,breathtaking,,I recomand sincerly to visit the city,,,

Must seeing when you are in Paris.

You can enjoy Versailles palace and the Gardens. Tickets come with no problem, but there may be a wait time at the security chack in the entrance, sa it’s better to be there before the opening hour.

Anays was a fantastic guide- she was engaging, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. The tour was so beautiful and the end destination at the Caller del Mas vineyard was breathtaking (and delicious)

Excellent tour by an informed guide who was very familiar with the area, the history, and the people around Montserrat. He's a safe driver too. :)
