Tour was good and informative. Han, the tour guide, knew a lot of historical facts what made the trip interesting. Tour requires a lot of walking and climbing stares. Tickets to Sagrada Familia was sold out for the day, so try to get tickets in advance if you can and know the time you will be at Sagrada Familia. At the end of the trip we stopped at the beach, nice view. Overall the trip was good.

Really enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide was great and we saw a lot. Did wish there was slightly better communication from the tour company a head of time. But overall a great experience.
