Our guide was Pau. This was our second time on Segways so we needed to remind ourselves how to ride it. Pau asked us which route we wanted to take since we already did some tours. We saw Barcelonetta, Port Vell, Olympic village, beautiful sight of Barcelona and many more significant buildings. Pau is a real and proud Catalanyan and it was amazing to see such a spark when he was talking about history. Overall, this was amazing experience. Only one thing we didn't like: almost 3 hours in, my partners Segway died so we needed to figure out how to deal with it. Pau rentex a bike for my partner and he was pushing dead segway with him to the HQ. He told the guys working there what happened and that we will be half an hour late coming back since that was how long it took to come back. We went back to sightseeing and same thing happened with New Segway towards the end of the tour. When we were going back, HQ guys called Pau asking him why was he late and that we are over time. I find that bad.

This was one of my favorite tours ever. Almost 9 hours of seeing things, and having such a better understanding about the city and the works of Gaudi. Gaspar picked us up at our hotel and stayed in touch with us the entire time before arriving. He made conversation easy and interesting. I highly recommend this tour. His vehicle was comfortable, and the size of the group that we had was five, which was perfect.

My special compliment to tour guide Mateus for his excellence services. We had enjoyed with great satisfaction. Muchas Gracias! Tony Foo Singapore
