“My husband and I were looking forward to the private tour which was quite expensive. The Alcazar, The Cathedral and Giralda were all amazing but unfortunately the entire experience fell short of our expectation because we felt our tour guide lacked the passion to make the tour far more lively and interesting.

Review of a private Barcelona tour to Cardona Castle, Salt Mountain, Bages wine country, and Montserrat, including value, timing, and practical tips.
“Tour group was very flexible. They contacted me a few days out to let me know the castle and salt mine wouldn't be open on the day I booked and asked if I'd like to cancel/reschedule/alter the tour.
