This is a hard review to write. The site was spectacular and I’ve been to many places of antiquity. The tour wasn’t much of a tour. Our guide was a wonderful guy and we had a great conversation going out there. But he didn’t say much about the history and when there he pretty much bought our ticket and we had an audio guide. The audio was great and we could control it - but this has happened to be twice recently: I pay a lot for what is effectively a kind driver. So be prepared for that. Also the museum is under renovation and no one mentioned it. Finally while we chose not to do the boat tour it was available for certain hours and it would have been hard to see the site and get to any boat but the 4:00. Anyhow we had a great day and our guide was very kind. Just a heads up.

I have made countless trips to European countries the last 20 years. There were often for business and so too short for me to take some time to tour the cities that I visited. This time I chanced upon an all-girls trip with my daughter to costa brava barcelona based on the recommendation from TripAdvisor. We were accompanied by Marcel Simon who not just was punctual in picking us up at the doorstep of our hotel, drove us there and took us along but also was a wonderful tour host that filled us with comprehensive details of the history of Barcelona and the nooks and crooks of all the lovely places we visited that day. The car was clean and spacious for the two of us and the ride was smooth. The tour was not too long and not too short, you dont have to walk till you drop at all. Eveything was at the pace that we are used to so that we could enjoy the scenery and fresh air while taking as many lovely photos we can. There was ample time to have fresh succulent seafood lunch and we were safely back home in the city before night fall I hope I can return soon with the whole family and this time maybe Marcel will bring us in a van? Maybe summer ….
