The tour was well planned and the guide was amazing and very knowledgable. We were a great group of people, great guide, and a amazing tour itinerary. Can't really ask for more! Thanks
We booked a day trip around Barcelona and Montserrat with a driver - Marta, and it was perfect.
Matra was amazing with local knowledge and communication during our trip, she was a great communicator, fun, kind, respectful and helpful and went above and beyond with every detail and we loved our time with Marta - making our day in Barcelona better than we could have hoped for.
We would gladly highly recommend Marta and this trip to anyone.
It capture so much of Spain--its rich history and its people. In just one week, we visited at least eight cities. I recommend this tour for those who want to experience this country.

We had a great time on our Barcelona City Tour. There were only 4 guests, which was a perfect size for a tour. Joao was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. We were picked up at our hotel in the Gothic quarter and walked a short distance to where the van was parked. We loved seeing all the different sites. We ended at La Sagrada Familia. We had requested tickets inside with tower access. These tickets were secured ahead of time so we were able to skip the line. This was the highlight of the tour.
We saw a lot of Sapin which was what we wanted. The itinerary was great. However, it was a bit rushed and a lot more walking then indicated.
The coach was very nice, comfortable and well equipped, nice big window as long as you were not seated by a partition of the windows.
The hotels were for the most part very nice. The hotel in Valencia was terrible.
Those antigue buildings and churches are unimaginable. The food is delicious and the people were friendly. I would definitely go back and see other sites, and areas.

Not much I can say, because from the second night that I was in the hotel room, I caught a cold because of the cold room, no heat, and from that I developed bronchitis. I still am suffering with the bronchitis on my chest so that I cannot come on favorable, but the whole experience of the tour was great. It was something that I’m glad I did because of my cat background.
