This is a 1.5-hour walking tour about the city if Barcelona. It has a lot history, a bit of geography, and recommendations to best places to eat, drink, or check out. Our guide, Craig, was English but knew a lot about the city of Barcelona.
Nice well paced walking tour. Do keep a look out for the guide as she may not be too prominent. Good explanations!
We had a wonderful 2-hour tour of the Gothic Quarters with Maria, and it exceeded all expectations. Maria is truly the best guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating stories that brought history to life. Her passion for the city is infectious, and we learned so much from her in such a short time. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Maria as your guide!
Sara shared a lot of stories during the walk to enhance the whole experience. I enjoyed it a lot.
Mariah was the best. perfectly paced. on schedule. interesting tidbits interlaced with jokes. informative. masterful.
Daniel was great! He really knew his stuff and shared a lot of interesting history about the Gothic Quarter. He was funny, told us the real score, and made the whole tour really interesting. The pacing was just right too, and he was super friendly and genuine. You could tell he was being himself and not just giving the usual tourist spiel. Definitely recommend him if you're doing a Gothic Quarter tour!
One of the best, most informative tours I have had in Europe. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative. The walking tour duration was appropriate and not to dragging. I would overall recomment this tour as an introduction of Barcelona’s gothic and jewish quarters. 🙌🏻
Had an enjoyable and educating time walking around with Maria through the Gothic Quarter. understood her perfectly, and she told us loads about what we were seeing and the (long ranging) history behind it :)
Thank you Jordan for the extensive sharing of the history of Barcelona. It was an engaging and informative tour, highly recommend.
Daniel was great and gave wonderful insights into the history
