Theo was energetic and informative. He was neither political nor religious in his descriptions of the various sites. He was very interactive with the group, keeping everyone entertained and involved during the walk. We had several personal discussions with Theo in which he answered questions beyond the scope of his walk. We’d love to have him for every guru walk.

It was well worth it. We learnt about the history and insightful stories that gave us a glimpse of Barcelona past. Sarah filled us with the facts in an often humorous way.
