This was a great introduction to Barcelona. Guille did a great job covering the sites and the practicalities of visiting. I highly recommend this course.
Great introductions to the city, sites to see, places to visit and food to eat. Knowledgeable and informative, covering all of Barcelona and great day trips from the city. Guille is engaging and shares his love of the city.
This seminar was wonderful for getting a well rounded view of the city of Barcelona and what the opportunities for sightseeing really look like. By learning ahead of time, this is a super wonderful way to get ready for a trip!
Haven't been to Spain yet and sadly probably won't be going in the future. So delighted to finally see Barcelona. Might not be quite the same as in person, but definitely did not have to deal with the thousands of tourists.
Guille did a great job of giving an over view of Barcelona and other areas
