A thoroughly enjoyable tour that discussed more of the darker side of Barcelona. The guide was very informative however the majority was a repeat of what we heard during the daytime Gothic Quarter tour. Joining instructions were not clear.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback, David 😊
We’re really glad you enjoyed exploring the darker side of Barcelona and found the guide informative 👻✨ At the same time, we truly appreciate you pointing out the overlap with the daytime tour and the unclear joining instructions, this is very helpful for us as we continue to improve the experience.
We hope to have the chance to welcome you again and give you an even better tour next time!

Went on the Barcelona Ghost Tour — really cool experience. The guide knew a lot of local history and creepy stories that you don’t hear anywhere else. We walked through some old parts of the city, narrow streets, dim lights — perfect vibe for ghost tales. Good storytelling and atmosphere.

I joined the Barcelona ghost tour and it was an absolute thrill from start to finish! Our guide was like a storyteller straight out of a gothic novel - witty, full of energy, and able to turn every shadowy alley into a stage for the city’s ghosts. 10/10! Absolutely recommend!

He was late and didn’t have any audio devices for us, so sometimes it was hard to hear him. He was the only one who kept asking for tips. He brought it up like 4 time. I felt like I was forced to tip him.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. Punctuality and professionalism are extremely important to us, and we’ll be addressing this matter directly with the guide involved to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
Our tours are designed to be engaging, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone, including how we handle tips, which should always be optional and never feel expected. We truly value your input and will use it to improve future experiences.

We had a great time with Mariah as our guide. She kept her stories intriguing and easy to follow. It was neat to see areas as a tourist that we likely would have missed.

Great experience with a fantastic guide! Adriana showed us parts of Barcelona we otherwise wouldn't have seen and had a great sense of humour! A good mix of history and legends (plus a few ghosts) made for an excellent tour. Highly recommend :)
