A great and different way to see parts of the old town and learn some history. - Had a wonderful 2 hour walk through parts of old town. The stories were well researched, our guide was just lovely and the use of props and visuals made it interactive. I would have been happy if there was an earlier option as all the door and wine bar recommendations along the way made me want to stop and stay.

Great experience! - Our guide was wonderful and full of personality and could tell the story of Barcelona beautifully. She made it fun and magical. We would never have seen that part of town or had known any of that information. She was lovely.

Worth staying up at night - Our tour guide, Annemarie, was great! She was engaging and energetic. Her use of props and the preparations she made for the tour were above and beyond. Very knowledgeable about the history of the city. It is quite a bit of walking so be prepared.

A tour you MUST do - This was SUCH a fun tour! Anne Marie was spectacular. Although we do hangout around areas of gothic history, its not a sight seeing tour which is important to know. I thought I would be disappointed when hearing that, but on the contrary. This tour was more interesting and fun than most history tours I’ve ever been on. Anne Marie brings a pocket projector of photos and paintings, gets us involved it was truly an experience. If you’ve enjoyed going to medieval torture museums or learning about the Salem which trials, this is a full enrichment of that style of history, the social culture of that time , and spooky tales :)
