Fabulous - Myself and my 21 year old son did the tour with Sara on 19th October 24 with Sara as a guide. The tour was really interesting and informative. Sara was an excellent guide, very helpful, interesting, friendly and informative. She clearly has a passion for history and Barcelona.. Would recommend.

Runner Bean Rocks the Night - Ann Marie was outstanding as a tour guide. This was a night tour (as the name would suggest) and she made it as informative, interactive (there was some role playing involved), fun and, as needed, spooky as I could have hoped for. This is especially impressive as her original tour guide could not be present and she stepped in at the last minute, but was an outstanding guide. What we covered was historically relevant, interesting and a part of Barcelona's history that no one ever covers in guidebooks. She was friendly and considerate - checking with us for when to take a break, sit for a spell, etc. This was a core aspect of our brief 4 day visit to Barcelona and well worth the very reasonable price. I would absolutely do this tour again and it would be suitable for older kids - the younger ones may not appreciate the historical overviews.

Interesting Night Tour of Barcelona's Macabre Past - Really interesting night tour of the macabre history of various locales in Barcelona. Noah, the tour guide, was highly knowledgeable and witty, delivering detailed historical information about the Spanish Inquisition along with several other parts of Barcelona's sometimes salacious history as we walked along various sights. Quite enjoyable, off-the-beaten path tour that is a nice complement to viewing the multitude of popular Barcelona tourist attractions. Good value, well worth the price and one of my favorite Barcelona tours. As a bonus, Noah will email you a curated list of his recommendations for the best of Barcelona. At the end of the tour, ask for his recommendation for a great place to get gelato within walking distance of the tour endpoint.

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.
