TEO picked me, my mom and my young adult daughter up at our hotel and was a terrific guide and very sweet. We walked the old town, drove to some other sites and ended at Sagrada Familia. Note that our tour did not include a guided tour of inside Sagrada Familia but it was not needed as the museum in the basement teaches so much and the inside space is so beautiful, it is nice to just sit and absorb the magical light from the stained glass windows.
