I booked a private tour with Runner Bean Tours for the Sagrada Familia and Gothic Quarter and added the lunch with our guide. I picked Runner Bean because of the recommendation from Rick Steves and the price was good, especially for a private tour. (We had 4 people in our group, and the base price was the same for 1-7 people). What made the tour extra special was our tour guide Gemma! She is from Barcelona and she knows her history and facts and could explain everything to us. We happened to do our tour on Sept 11, which is National Day of Catalonia. We navigated through the streets of the Bari Gotic, with the ever increasing crowds of people. Gemma knew exactly where to take us to walk through the old town, and she guided us down some steps so we could see the old Roman columns that are upright under the city streets. Just phenomenal. We had paid for an extra hour for lunch with her, and she had made reservations at an excellent restaurant where we tried many different kinds of tapas and a couple of small desserts with a bottle of wine. It was an excellent experience, made all the better with our Catalan guide, Gemma. Thank you Runner Bean, and THANK YOU, Gemma!!More
