"Angel, in Barcelona was a great guide. He tailored our time with him to our questions and requests and it was wonderful. We started with a view of the city from the restaurant at the top of El Corte Ingles. From there we walked to the Gaudi sites nearby and he was able to show us how to get the inside views that are open to the public without paying for the tours (long lines and quite expensive - an option for us on our own later but too time consuming for our tour with him). We enjoyed his descriptions and information on how the city was designed and built. He gave us a true insight as to how and why Barcelona is designed as it is - a wonderful concept that is clear once one understands how it was meant to work. We rode the subway down to the old part of the city and he toured us through the old narrow, winding streets and included the tourist office buried in there where you can see parts of the original Roman city. He gave us a delightful, personalized orientation that left us ready to explore on our own with enough knowledge to understand what we were seeing, where to go, and how to get around."  --Shelly, Maryland, March 2008
