Loved This Tour - I wasn’t sure whether to book this tour in Barcelona since I had already booked a Jewish walking tour on my cruise’s first stop in Palma de Mallorca three days later, but this tour was available at an easy time for me, so I reserved it. All of that back story to say how Grateful I am to have found this tour and how much I enjoyed having an in-depth Jewish walking tour in two different cities to get a bigger picture of Jewish culture and history in this extended area. I was Lucky enough to have Edu as my guide. He was so personable and knowledgeable and brought to life a well-paced, organized, and fascinating look into the very sobering history of the Jewish people through the Middle Ages in Barcelona and Spain in general. I learned so much and the two hours flew by. I Love that despite the harrowing, horrifying history, there is again a Jewish presence in Barcelona today, and that Barcelona Dreaming has gathered this information and arranged these tours to educate the world about the contribution of the Jewish culture in Barcelona.

Best guide for the Jewish Quarter - Eyal was a fantastic guide. He is very knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Really took the time to explain the history of the quarter and was interested in our personal stories related to this historical place. Couldn't have had a better guide. Thanks Eyal!

Jewish Barcelona from the perspective of an Israeli emigre. - Our guide, a young Israeli who had emigrated to Barcelona, was excellent. He showed us the vestiges of Jewish Barcelona in the Middle Ages, and explained the historical significance of streets in the old Jewish quarter clearly. The tour included Roman and modern sites in tne “Gothic” Quarter, in addition to the medieval sites that were the central focus. He made the visit personally meaningful for us, as level Jews with some knowledge of Jewish history.

Barcelona Historic Jewish Quarter Walking Tour - We just completed an amazing Barcelona Jewish Quarter walking tour with Adi Mahler. During our exploration of the Jewish Quarter Adi expertly guided us through the centuries from the Roman Empire through the expulsion of the Jews from Barcelona. Adi imparted his extensive knowledge of the subject matter engaging us with humor and his ever present positive outlook. I highly recommend Adi and look forward to the opportunity to have him guide us through other parts of Barcelona.

Ask for Dina!! - Dina was a fantastic guide! She was knowledgeable and her passion for teaching people about Barcelona was evident. Our primary focus was the Jewish tour and yet, Dina made the Sagrada Família come alive in a way we hadn’t anticipated.

Great tour once we found out where to go! - Great tour guide. He had excellent knowledge of the area. The only problem was finding the meeting spot. Viator gave us the wrong address and store name.

The Jewish Quarter in the Rain - Dori did such a great job telling me the history of the quarter. It was raining and he found a solution by going to the museum. So glad I did the tour with him
