Sebastian, a guide of 10 - It was a very entertaining and enriching tour. Our guide, Sebastian, explained very interesting things about the history of the city, even dared to sing us a song and did great! Thanks for the experience:)

Amazing walking tour of Gothic Quarter - Our tour was with Augustina was one of the best walking tours I have been on! The tour was interactive and Augustina asked us questions along the way which I thought was nice. The tour was truly an incredible way to dip our toes into the history and architecture of this beautiful city, and Augustina got me and my family excited to explore more!

Good overview of Barcelona with Jordan - We had a great tour in English with Jordan! He gave us good historical information about Barcelona, as well as many tips about what to do during our stay here. He also speaks on a good pace, which was easy for me and my dad understand what he was saying, despite English isn’t our mother language.

Barcelona Walking tour with Lena - Lena was a fantastic guide for our tour. She was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about making sure we all learned so much about Barcelona. We have done quite a few walking tours and this one was at the top of the list.

Fantastic Walking Tour - Our 2 plus hour walking tour with Lena was a highlight of our visit to Barcelona. Lena was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the two areas we visited (Gothic Quarter and Bora). Lena encourages her group to ask many questions and her answers always enhanced our groups experience. Well done Lena!

Fun and informative tour - Hugo was a fantastic guide! We learnt so much about Barcelona, its buildings and history that otherwise we wouldn’t have known. Highly recommend this tour!

More talking than walking - Good tour although descriptions not quite clear, you’re expected to pay a bit more after the tour . The tour guide said that as the tour was free to book you are expected to pay her even though we paid Viator. Informative trip but you don’t get to see too much. More talking than walking

Disappointed - We did our tour with Hugo and it left us disappointed to say the least. We didn’t get out of the Gothic district, didn’t cover Maria del Mar, not even the Borne. He did asked if the group wanted to cover more or to be more in depth with history, but at least he should do the spots mentioned on the website. And close to the end of the tour he did a kind of awkward stop for people to review the tour that was way too long even with his QR code not working.
