Alex did a great job winding us through the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter. he had a lot of interesting information to share about the neighborhood. As an extra bonus, we were given free admission to the Frederic Mares Museum after the tour. Excellent experience!

The tour guide Iris was amazing! She was knowledgeable, witty and engaging. We wished the tour had a bit more walking and area covered, but Iris made up for it.

We arrived at the meeting point for the tour but could not find anyone, we saw a couple of other tours but weren't our one. Tried to contact tour operator but then could not access to receive or send further messages. We have not had the experience we paid for. We were looking forward to this and has cost us money and left us with no activity

It was a great experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend this tour..

We felt this tour was a bit waste of our money. Very little actual knowledge was given us as to the history of the quarter. We didn’t really seem to have a defined path but just seemed to wander and spent entirely too much time on the Cathedral even though it is yes central to the quarter

Alberto was AMAZING! one of the best tour I have taken in Barcelona. He showed us the true about the Gothic quarter and took us to impressive places full of history and “secrets”. Thanks!
Ruth_M, Sep 2025
Easily walkable & very succinct summation of the history of Barcelona. History, architecture & a museum—definite must do!
Laura_S, Sep 2025
Pilar did a fabulous job of guiding us around the gothic quarter. She was friendly, professional and knowledgeable.
Eden_V, Aug 2025
It was a great tour. Good history of the Old Gothic quarter. Some of them are now replica of the original. Our tour guide, Alberto did an excellent job in every detail of the history with such an awesome handy visuals of the past and the future. That is actually very helpful for us to know what was the past and where we are now standing. I would give him a 5-star. If you love history, take this tour. So much to learn more.
Andrea_D, Aug 2025
Best part of Barcelona. Definitely something that needs to be seen and with a tour guide. Absolutely amazing how big the area is. Love the squares and alleys. Breathtaking.
Kyle_R, Jul 2025
Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Barcelona. We would highly recommend this tour.
Juliette_E, Jul 2025
One of the best tours we have been on. Our guide was informative without giving too much info - just enough to digest. We moved from place to place seamlessly and managed to stay out of the heat / sun. A fascinating history and even our 8 yr old son managed the almost 2hrs without complaint!

We have been soaking up the Catalan culture for a week and this was not complete until we saw the Flamenco show. Our two girls (14, 11) love dancing and seeing the passion in the dancers, singers and musicians was incredible. The food (dinner) was great too, and there was so much! We practically rolled out of the venue with full bellies and hearts. Thank you! The show was amazing and is one of our Barcelona highlights!
Kathryn_C, Apr 2025
Our guide never showed up. We called the tour company and they gave us no answer as to why not. And just suggested we call the booking company (Viator) for a refund. Very unprofessional!!
Ellie_C, Feb 2025
Albert was AMAZING! He is so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about the history of the Gothic Quarter. He made the 2-3 hours FLY by. The tour exceeded every single one of our expectations. Could not recommend more highly!
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you Ellie!
Dianne_H, Feb 2025
Pillar was a wonderful guide who explained a lot of detail of things we had previously walked past without knowing the background. She is vivacious and friendly.
Worth doing 😀
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you Dianne! We truly appreciate your kind words! That's the goal of a walking tour: to discover incredible details of beautiful cities!
Damian_F, Jan 2025
If you don’t have a tour guide you are walking around aimlessly not knowing what you’re looking at. You will learn a lot about the history of Barcelona.
Russell_B, Jan 2025
Extremely knowledgeable tour guide and you could tell history was his passion. Some very interesting information throughout the tour. I would have preferred a little more walking and maybe a bit less talking but it was all good!
Elizabeth_C, Dec 2024
Our guide, Albert, was great. He is a historian and provided insights into many different aspects of the Gothic Quarter. He is also born in Barcelona

What an excellent trip - our guide was knowledgeable passionate and informative. We had been to Barcelona many times before and wondered how to spend our time this two hour walking tour has left us wanting more from our next visit. Thank you so much
Vanessa_T, Sep 2024
Our tour was great. The rain did not stop our tour guide from providing great details about the buildings or the people. We truly learned a lot.
Christine_D, Sep 2024
Our tour guide Alex was very knowledgeable. It was a great way to understand the history of the city and see hidden places you would not know existed otherwise. I highly recommend.
SaraJane_C, Aug 2024
Very interesting with lots of opportunities for great photos! My favorite stops were inside the cathedral with the geese and the good luck turtle!
Kelly_S, Aug 2024
The best part was the knowledgeable tour Guide and the awesome views of Lisbon. I got to try gjora for the first time and tour was interesting.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Dear Kelly, thank you for your positive review, but I belive you're talking about another city...Regards.

Maureen_D, Jun 2024
My partner and I loved the Gothic Walking Tour. Our guide Pilar was excellent and we saw parts of the city we did not know existed. An added bonus was that the areas we walked in were quiet and tranquil which was such a lovely contrast to the rest of the city.
Janice_L, Jun 2024
I highly recommend this tour. It was informative and fun with our guide Geordi (George) such a beautiful area and the history is amazing.
Nina_S, May 2024
Enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Great tour of the highlights. Well worth doing. Excellent introduction to Barcelona and then you can explore more deeply on your own.
Cameron_M, May 2024
David was a fantastic tour guide with a great knowledge of Barcelona's history. The ear piece set provided enabled him to be heard clearly even when at the back of the tour. The 2 hour duration of this walking tour was perfect. Overall I highly recommend this tour.
