Me and my cousin had a great time on this walking tour! Ewan was very entertaining, knowledgeable and funny. Got to see the really pretty area of Gothic Quarter by night and learned a lot along the way. Ewan had really great stories to tell at each stop! Definitely recommend.

Honestly great craic - seen bits off the city we would have missed and learned lots of wee bits we wouldn't have. Ewan was amazing, knew what he was talking about and made it fun even with the topics as we went along. Highly recommend! Highlight of our trip!

Good way to learn about Barcelona

Dierdra_R, Apr 2026
Interesting tour of some of Barcelona’s most famous serial killers and the legends of the ghosts they left behind. It was a good way to get out and see some of Barcelona as well because the tour took you through the back alleys of shops and was near the Cathedral de Barcelona. I do recommend this walking tour.

100% worth it

Very Interesting Darker History of Barcelona

Joelle_J, Nov 2025
My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. While it’s not so much a ghost tour, it does provide a very interesting perspective to the darker history of Barcelona and Spain. Our guide was very knowledgeable and worked to keep the group well connected. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great dark history tour

Heather_P, Nov 2025
This was more of a dark history tour, rather than ghosts, but it was great! Our tour guide, Ewin was full of knowledge and we learned so much! Would definitely recommend.

Great tour

Lori_S, Nov 2025
Very informative and fun! The tour guide was awesome! You could tell that he knew the history of Barcelona and loved doing it. The meeting place Travelers Nest, was easy to find and since we ended the tour there, we stayed and had a beer.

Last minute booking and worth it!

Angela_G, Oct 2025
Really enjoyed this tour and our guide had the perfect mix of dark history with a bit of humor. Although it was a bit rainy, I hardly noticed and it went quite well with the theme of the night. Cheers! "History is a set of lies agreed upon"

Awesome dark history tour

Rachell_H, Oct 2025
Ewan was very knowledgeable. Very manageable walk with tour. Easy to find meetup spot. Would recommend for a small historical tour.

More dark history than ghost tour.

Lesley_D, Oct 2025
More of a dark history tour than a ghost tour, however very informative and fun. Could do with a few more ghost tales. Ewan however was a great guide full of great facts delivered in a fun and interesting manner.

Very enjoyable!

By far the best tour we experienced in Barcelona. A captivating mix of eerie legends and true stories that kept us hooked from start to finish. Lila was an exceptional guide and brought the tales to life!

Amazing adventure

The alley ways and roads were amazing. All the squares beautiful and interesting. I would certainlt recommend it.

Fun walking tour.

Fiona_R, Aug 2025
Nice and fun way to see the Old Town of Barcelona. Went with my kids, 10, 14 and 17 year old and they enjoyed it very much. The leyends aren’t very scary which was good.

Interesting and fun

Riya_S, Aug 2025
It was the most interesting tour we have ever gotten, 100% recommend to anyone who likes crime and a bit or horror storytelling

A dark history

Amy_L, Aug 2025
Wear comfortable shoes as there's a bit of walking. You will learn a fair amount about Spanish history. The tone of the tour goes from quirky to downright dark throughout the evening. Ewan was a terrific, passionate, and knowledgeable guide.

The ghosts and legends...

Max_G, Aug 2025
The ghosts and legends part was “fun”, but our guide Ewan gave us lots and lots of history. I really enjoyed the experience.

Not a ghost tour - dark history!

Glenn_R, Jul 2025
Our guide was a great entertainer and shared some interesting stories, but he told us right up front that the marketing on this tour needs to be changed to “dark history”. He showed us where some horrific things have happened, and some of the younger participants were probably not ready to hear the graphic nature of the inquisition or methods of execution.

It is more about the...

Donna_K, Jul 2025
It is more about the history of Barcelona than about actual known ghosts, but the stories are perfect and the guide was super knowledgeable and entertaining

Fascinating!

Marla_B, Jul 2025
This was so interesting and fun! Ewan was so informed and funny and helpful. We learned so much about the history of the Gothic Quarters! Our 18 and 15 year old loved it, but I don't recommend it for younger kids. As with all countries, there are some dark and disturbing stories.

Very entertaining and...

Informative tour on some of Barcelona's gory history. Ewan was exceptional and thorough in detain in his explanation. We definitely got more than we paid for. I recommend this tour.

Awesome!

Jeanne_B, May 2025
It was spoooky! The guide was funny and invested, it was interesting, a bit creepy and gore too! Got to learn a lot!

Great Tour of the Dark Side of Barcelona History

Kevin_K, May 2025
Our guide was knowledgeable and informative, easy to follow and understand. The tour group was small (13). The guide taught us about many of the darker sides of Barcelona's history - some quite disturbing. One constructive feedback observation... there were no actual "ghost" or "haunting" stories. The tour should be renamed a "dark history" tour to be more accurate of the actual content. However, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and learned a lot from our guide who did an overall excellent job.
