    Hello.
    You will love this tour! I did this tour 3 year ago , here is some helpful info.

    My TD tour director was TODD, amazing guy :)) super friendly and lots of fun... he will make you love Spain even more....

    Here are some tips....I did the double decker bus on day 1. prior to the welcome cocktail reception and dinner. and the Palaumusica on the free afternoon day 2.

    Now tips.- near the square the Placa De Catalunya square , there is the main stop for the double decker buses Hop on Hop off.- go with the red buses company. 2 routes blue/red. do the one that takes you to the Gaudi sites first... by a 2 day ticket and ** ( be super early.** ) 8:00 am

    La Pedreda , another Gaudi building is great, top roof is worth the visit.

    The reason why I'm sharing this info. over and over it's because it does save a lot of time and I think you will have a full vision of what Barcelona it's about. The Art is wonderful , the Tapas are great and the city is beautiful.

    In this tour you will drink wine like water if not more..........





    Hope this helps, The Music Palace is @ walking distance from hotel, I would recommend a taxi on your way to the Palace because you have to be on time (cost 3-5 euros) and them walk back.

    Santiago was my favorite! Bilbao is beautiful San Sebastian also very nice.

    Enjoy the trip.
