Best walking tour ever!!!!

Angela_M, Apr 2024

Overall this was a great experience. We got to see iconic architecture and buildings and our guide, Lounis, was very knowledgeable about the origin of such artifacts and history of Spain and Catalonia. We stopped for Churros and they were fresh and delicious.

Great tour!

Jeanna_W, Mar 2024

Sebastian was a great tour guide and shared so much history with us. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Marcelo was a great...

Colby_S, Oct 2023

Marcelo was a great guide! Knowledgeable and informative, but not overwhelming. Great way to start our trip and get a feel for the city and its neighborhoods. Would definitely recommend.

Great intro to Barcelona.

Roger_S, Sep 2023

Lillia was a very personable, knowledgeable, and engaging tour guide. She did an excellent job of sticking to her plan, showing me what she wanted me to see, telling me what she thought I should know and being flexible with my questions and interests. I thought this walking tour was an excellent way to kick off my time in Barcelona. A big thanks to Lillia for the time and thought out into my tour.

Wonderful time with Fiorella!

Lori_M, Aug 2023

Fiorella was a wonderful tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed spending the morning with her, seeing all the local spots and wandering around Barcelona w a local. It was a fantastic part of the trip!

Barcelona highlights and neighborhoods

Federico was an excellent guide. He customized our tour perfectly to cover so much. He did a great job of giving life to the history of each place.

Book it!

Jennifer_D, Jun 2023

Sebastian was an incredible guide and customized our experience especially for my kids (11 and 14). Highly recommend!

My guide was totally unqualified

Doug_L, Jun 2023

My tour guide was very nice and eager to please. Great communication. But he was entirely unqualified to give the tour. Knew almost nothing about his topic and just possible was “under the influence”. We stopped half way through.

Exceptional tour

kristin_l, May 2023

Lunis was an exceptional guide creating an informative, memorable and fun tour. He is a great ambassador for BCN!! Highly recommend this tour to experience the essence of the city!

Wonderful tour!

Dana_B, Jan 2023

Lillia was a wonderful tour guide. She showed us some great historical sites and insights that we would not have known on our own. She really brought the city to life!

Great value for the money walking tour of Barcelona

Khizzar_S, Dec 2022

Lounis is amazing. He loves Barcelona and showed us in the most efficient way by walking important places of Barcelona, including the Gothic quarter, Las Ramblas. He told his ancient stories about the cathedral and the church, which brought it to life for us. He also recommended nice restaurants afterwards. He made it interesting for our children as well. He pointed out things that were of interest to our teenage children, who have studied Spanish history in school. He also helped us with our baggage. When we arrived, we could not store our luggage in the Airbnb. He met us ahead of time and had a nearby cafe store our luggage who store luggage for us. He’s very knowledgeable about the city. I will highly recommend him to anyone interested. Plus for the amount of time spent it is a great deal for a walking tour in Barcelona.

Luis was a great guide! He took us to many places and knew a ton about the history. He also shared his personal travel experiences and asked us about ours; then he tailored the experience to best fit our interests!

Amazing experience

Smitha_S, Aug 2022

I had the most amazing tour with Lounis. He was really knowledgeable, engaging,kind, funny and took into consideration that I had just flown into Barcelona so the tour was really tailored to my comfort level. I would 100% recommend this to fellow travellers. Particularly as a solo female traveler I felt totally safe and got to see all the amazing sights and learn the history behind them. Thank You again lounis for the gelato and amazing tour. You really set a high bar for the rest of my trip 😊

Beautiful tour

Elli_G, Aug 2022

We spent an enjoyable evening, walking around the city and finding out about the past and the present of Barcelona. Marcelo was our guide, and he went through useful information . We highly suggest the tour.

Best tour w/ stroller!

Katherine_S, Jul 2022

Fiorella was a fantastic and patient guide. We had a baby in a stroller and she totally customized the tour to our needs. Thank you again!

Wonderful Barcelona Experience

Gabriela_G, Sep 2021

Our guide, Pri, was fantastic! She knew so much about the city and history and she took us to some delightful places. We stopped for a fantastic gelato as well as a churro. The pace was perfect, the information was interesting and we saw so much more than we would have seen on our own.

Great tour with Laura!!

Kevin_W, Feb 2020

Our tour with Laura was fantastic, she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly!!! She guided to spots we would have never seen!!

Michael_T, Nov 2019

Amazing experience. Felt like we were alone in Barcelona. This was my 4th time in Barcelona, felt like the first. Never before have I enjoyed the city like that. I want to go back already. Thomas is so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, pleasant and interesting.
