What Our Guests Say
The Jones Family recently experienced this journey and shared their glowing feedback:
“There are no words to express how great our guide was. He knew more about Gaudí than Gaudí himself! The ‘whisper sets’ he brought along was a brilliant move. We really loved him, and it was the highlight of the trip for me (being an architect!) although the entire itinerary put together was a highlight! Tough to choose. He has just this special way of connecting with people and seemed to truly care about our well-being. Our driver also was a fun-loving personality.”
