    IloveBarcelona and it´s art! This tour was so interesting and so much fun! I´ve been on many tours, but this tour guide Barlan is out of the ordinary. He makes the tour very active and fun, always cracking jokes, and he has a lot of knowledge and secrets to share. He also has amazing recommendations for food and drinks!
    I really recommend Barlan and his alternative tour to anyone who wants to see Barcelona´s art and explore secrets, and loves to laugh.
