Ron and his wife Betty wanted to have a private minivan tour, and used a very popular cruise travel forum, http://boards.cruisecritic.com, to find some other people to share it with them. They were very different couples, but despite having communicated online only and not having met in person before the tour, it was a successful experience!
Here is the letter he just sent me:
Dear Marta,
Not sure how to post a comment on your BLOG as I am internet challenged so I thought I'd send an E-mail for you to post. We gave Marta a little extra challenge as we three couples were staying in three different hotels. We were the first pick up and she was right on time, 15 minutes early in fact. I'd like to say thank for your extra effort to pick up our friends staying at the Hotel on the Rambla as the street was closed Sunday, April 17th for a parade. You didn't even give it a thought to jump out of the van and run on foot to their hotel and grab them, that's means a lot. For others who are readfing this post, Marta is one of the better guides we used in Europe. She is personal able, knowledgeable and is very clear in speaking English, I only wish people in Los Angeles could speak as while as she. We toured all the Gaudi sites except the Familia which was closed to tours because of Palm Sunday. Everything was just great, tours well timed and we learned a lot. The tour information was provided at just the right pace so we could understand and digest it all. I could tell she is very good and experienced at being a guide. After the tour she escorted us to our ship and dropped us off right at the cruise ship terminal. Our tour was a half day and fit our schedule to a tee, we saw what we wanted and even a little more.
FYI: I have posted to tripadvisor to have you added to their list of Guides for Barcelona, as I believe in letting others know how good you are.
Thank you again for making our trip to Barcelona a trip to remember,Ron J. Gentile
