“This was an OK experience, but I wouldn’t have booked this tour if I understood what was included. I booked this tour to focus on Sagrada Gamilia and Park Guell with a private tour. However, our tour guide was not allowed to join in either location. There was a private walking tour of the city and we received a private tour while driving alone in the car with our tour guide, but the name of the tour was Private tour of Parc Guell and Sagrada Família which it was not. The guide was very accommodating, but I feel this was a bait and switch. Based on what was provided, I…”
