lenar_g, Apr 2024

Great tour, and Juliana, our guide was very good, very knowledgeable about the old city and all the historical points and places we went, good thing is, because of her, we didn't get lost in the old city streets, they are very confusing, we walked a lot and we learn a lot, took a ton of pictures and have a great time altogether, and by the way, the Sangria was delicious.

This tour was amazing! Juliana was a great guide, and the way she talked about history I felt like I was actually witnessing the events.

It made me want to come back to Barcelona!

Amazing

Patrice_J, Feb 2024

This was the most informative tour we've ever taken. Our guide Valentina was a wealth of knowledge and information. Not only did she know so much history of the Gothic quarter, but she was so passionate about it. Honestly it was Iike hanging out with a friend who happened to live in Barcelona and we were catching up and she was showing us the sites and let us in on some little gems around town.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Dear Patrice , Thank you so much for your positive review. I am very happy to know that you enjoyed your tour with Valentina, hope to see you again soon in Barcelona.

Mia_S, Jan 2024

Very educational and ended the tour with one glass of sangria. We had to wait for the restaurant to open but it was delicious and the tour guide was very knowledgeable

Tour was disappointing and misleading

James_F, Jan 2024

The sights in the Gothic Quarter are a must see! That I highly recommend. This tour however was very disappointing and misleading. We didn’t get to see any insides of any buildings and there was too much history and our guides political input.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Dear James, I am really sorry that the tour didn’t meet your expectations. I want to clarify that during the tour we do go inside the buildings that have free access like the Archive of the Crown and the temple of Augustus. The other monuments have an entrance fee that is up to 24 € and can therefore not be covered by the price of this tour. Also the walk would take far too long or be too limited in scope. I am also sorry that you felt there was too much history and some political content; the tour tries to add cultural context and that means there is sometimes some historical references to political events. This is in fact a historical tour and most of our costumers really enjoy learning about the history of the city and you can clearly see the satisfaction of our travellers in 99% of our reviews. I would however like to thank you for your feedback; it always helps us to understand our customers better and improve our experience.
