Me and my husband met another couple and then a single man and was a very small group, but we all got along. We had great conversations the three locations that our guide picked out for us was a very good with a little bit of history tour.

Erik was an engaging & knowledgable guide. He related the history of the Gothic Quarters in a compelling way. Each venue for tapas & wine tastings was unique. Erik offered cultural & regional insights as we indulged. A “best” excursion.
