Wonderful experience visiting the Old City! Loved not waiting in lines for museum access.
Ton David was enthusiastic and so very knowledgable. He is an excellent guide. We loved visiting the market. What interesting foods are sold!
The tour pace was quick and we were thrilled as we got to see so much on this 4 hour tour!
Tour Guide Comment:
Hi Carol,
Thanks so much for your comments on our Old City tour last week: I agree that the area has so much to offer. It was great showing it to you and your husband.
I will never forget how helpful you were giving me your support after a sudden death in my family. Great clients!

Very good tour. So glad that we decided to visit the Jewish area of past.
Ton David is so knowledgeable and made the history of Barcelona's Jews come to life.
He is an excellent guide!
Tour Guide Comment:
Hi Carol,
Thanks so much for your comments on our Jewish Barcelona tour last week: both medieval El Call areas are 2 shiny jewels that so many visitors unwillingly miss while in Barcelona. It was a true pleasure discovering the city's deep Jewish legacy with both of you.
Regards
Ton-David
