La Segrada Familia - What a great way to see the city. The skip the line pass to the Sagrada Familia was a great option. Beautiful cathedral and our tour guide did a wonderful job.

Fabuloso! - We did this tour the afternoon we arrived in Barcelona. There is a cafe/crepe shop right by the start location that provided a nice pick me up for our very jet lagged team. Mariah was fantastic - knowledgeable and entertaining. We got a great sense of the area setting up our next few days of adventuring around the town.
