Practical tips before you book

Before you meet your guide in Barcelona, it helps to decide:

Walking vs private car — distances and traffic feel different by neighborhood (Gothic Quarter, Eixample, Barceloneta).
Ticket strategy — timed entries for headline sights should be booked early in peak months (May–Jun & Sep–Oct).
Food & energy — tell the guide about kids, elders, allergies and preferred meal length.
Language expectation — ask whether French (Français) is fluent conversation, not greetings only.

Local tip for Barcelona: Book Sagrada Família and Park Güell first.
