Anna is a fantastic person and an exceptional guide. She was able to construct a two day itinerary enabling us to see so many amazing sites all around Barcelona! We had prepurchased Passion Tower tickets and Gaudi House Museum tickets that she seamlessly worked into our adventure. My wife and I believe we got our monies worth and then some. Anna has a great personality and really knows Barcelona well. She researches the sites to be visited and has on hand unique facts and addendums to what we visited. After 20 miles of touring we are extremely happy with what we saw and learned. If you are lucky enough to have Anna assigned as your guide, know that you are in for an informative and exciting visit.

Both Anna and City Unscripted were able to accommodate my request of providing a two day tour of Barcelona similar to a tour we had booked through Viator with another operator that abruptly canceled three weeks before the start date after having it booked and confirmed with us for over a year. Anna was fantastic. She met us at our hotel outside the normal pickup zones and spent the two days showing us amazing Barcelona that that we had planned to do on the canceled itinerary utilizing the reserved tickets and time slots we had already purchases for Sagrada Familia and Park Guel. Although the order and the site list were not the usual groupings for tours Anna conducts, she expertly compiled and delivered thorough and extremely interesting itinerary over the two days. We are quite pleased and thankful for all the effort. It was as exactly as we had hoped. Annas knowledge of Barcelona is vast and bountiful. She is very personable and was a pleasure to be with
