the tour was excellent. Juan was super knowledgeable and was happy for us to ask as many questions as we could.
No one was at the meeting point. Address with an office. I arrived half an hour early and waited an hour. Big disappointment, a scam
Our tour guide Juan Hernán De Carlo was fantastic throughout. He made contact to send a photo of the meeting spot before the tour took place and met us at exactly 10am. He was also very considerate in asking us if we had visited any parts of the gothic quarter or La Rambla before the tour started so he could tailor it to suit us. We found Juan extremely knowledgeable about the history of not just Barcelona, but of the architecture too with a lot of passion to match. He was so easy to talk to and answered all of our questions, even providing recommendations for places to eat and bars to visit after the tour had ended. The two hours flew by! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona. It’s a great way to see more of the city and learn a thing or two as well!
The Gothic Quarter is really beautiful. Our guide took us on a journey into the past with his explanations.
Filipa was an amazing and highly knowledgeable guide. Depth of her knowledge about the history, politics and life in Barcelona was reflective in her stories, jokes, recommendations and random nerdy facts. Was a pleasurable and insightful experience to have tour with her.
Really friendly, and really engaging, our guide Noah was brilliant. A great way to spend some time, learn a lot, and get to know a bit about the city too. We were only in Barcelona for a day trip, so we were considering this or the hop on hop off bus, but I'm so glad we chose this. A+++
I can’t believe these are for free! I went to both Gaudi’s and El Born tours and they were the best way to start my first days in Barcelona. They got me into the history, the development of the city and its nature all at once while conveying their passion about their culture, and they were kind in advising additional info such as recommended spots to consume. My visit wouldn’t have been the same without this amazing experience Thank you for making it valuable🙏
Did both tours and can recommend them to everybody. Personally, I liked the Gothic Tour even a bit more. You will learn a lot about the city, it's people and the culture. Furthermore, the tour guides are always willing to help with hints and recommendations. At the end, you pay what you think is appropriate. If you stay in Barcelona, it's definitely a good idea to join the tours!
Tati is the most vibrant tour guide we have ever encountered after many of this similar tour. She is just lovely. 5 stars! She made great efforts to make sure we understood the history. She brought tools, like maps and posters to guide us. Wonderful experience!
