Absolutely FABULOUS tour given by Kathryn today! She is excellent with children (despite ours being jetlagged), had great energy and really kept the tour fun and engaging! We learned so much in a short time and saw many incredible historical areas. She had delightful extras at every turn like treating us to candy in the local sweet shop and teaching us how to ask for it ourselves to fun crowns when learning about King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Her visual aides were kid friendly and the activity booklet was fun! I definitely recommend this super kid and family friendly tour!

Not suitable for kids older than 5

Magdalena_J, May 2024

I’m so sorry but the tour was simply awful. It needs to be advertised for kids under 5 who may enjoy it. But any older kids will find it terribly dull. It went on for too long there was not much substance and the adults did not get much out of it either. We hardly walked either and didn’t see much of the gothic quarter unfortunately. We really needed this to be a good tour as this was our only full day in Barcelona but we were all underwhelmed sadly and felt we wasted precious few hours. Kathryn is a nice lady and we are very sorry we can’t rate the tour any higher

Not great for older kids

Laura_A, May 2024

It was a great little tour for kids age 4-8. My 10 and 12 were far too old, and thus were not great fans of the activities and the pace. It’s too bad our large group was not divided into older and younger kids…. Our guide was lovely but the tour was aimed at the little little ones. .

Best tour!!

Caitlin_D, Apr 2024

Annemarie and tour are amazing!!!!!!! Our children were captivated, enthralled in history, and entertained the whole time. A must do in Barcelona!

FABULOUS Family Tour!

Kimberly_C, Sep 2023

Great learning experience!

Stacey_B, Aug 2023

Katharine was fantastic! She balanced learning with breaks and made the walking tour a fantastic experience for everyone. I learned so much from this tour I’d recommend it to families or adults without kids 😂

Great fun and wonderful learning experience!

Janet_W, Aug 2023

We loved Katharine's experience and energy. She was fantastic about keeping everyone involved. She learned all the kids' names and engaged everyone. We wanted to do it again! It was THE best tour for the money. I recommend it even if you don't have children.

So glad we took this tour!

Erika_M, Apr 2023

One of my favorite tours so far. Our guide was phenomenal and honestly, the way she explained everything, I think I learned more on this tour than on any of the regular "adult" tours that I've been on. I'm so glad we took this and I would highly recommend it.

Great Tour!

Excellent tour, our guide Lisa was able to flex her style and knowledge to keep children of all ages (and adults) engaged. Great preparation and presentation, really enjoyable experience.

This was a great tour for...

Amy_D, Oct 2022

This was a great tour for our family. I enjoyed it and my two 11 year old boys loved the games and hearing about Barcelonas’s history and customs. Our guide Tati was fantastic!

Engaging and Informative!

Kara_B, Jul 2022

My husband and I and our three kids did this tour one morning in Barcelona, and our tour guide (Lisa) was amazing. She was really entertaining and engaging for the kids, and the information she shared was great and done in a way that resonated with kids and adults alike. We definitely felt like we got a secret view into some places that we never would have found on our own!

Family fun

Lauren_S, May 2022

Great tour for kids and adults too! Our guide was patient and adaptive to kids' ages. Great overall experience!

Response from Host, May 2022

Thanks a million for the great feedback, Lauren. I am glad you had such a nice time on our tour. See you on your next visit to Barcelona :-) Gorka

A Highlight of our Trip

Our tour guide was Ali and she was incredible. This tour was engaging for the kids and interesting for the adults. Ali did a beautiful job of not only interacting with the kids, but also helping them become fast buddies in the process. As our vacation around Barcelona continued, our son found many opportunities to recall something Ali had said or done during the guided tour. I couldn't recommend this experience more!

Leuk en leerzaam voor de kids en ook voor grote mensen!

JohannaInBarca, Oct 2019

Onze gids Tati was super goed met de kinderen en kon ook heel goed antwoord geven op de vragen van de ouders. Zoon van 10 heeft zich vermaakt en ze kon goed omgaan met zijn energieniveau (superdruk).
