Great tour. Enthusiastic and knowledgable guide. A good introduction to Barcelona and helpful in orientating us to plan our next steps. Coffee and pastries were great too

Roger did an amazing job sharing and showing us the history and the expansion of Barcelona. He was very knowledgeable and personable.
Scott, Sep 2018
Our guide suggested we defer the date of the tour due to the day of protest happening, with over a million people in the streets. When we did do the tour, the guide was great. He met us in the hotel lobby right on time. He showed us lots of big famous things, along with lots of little things that would normally be missed.
Jerry_P, Jul 2018
Excellent. Guide went out of his way to make this a great and informative experience. I would certainly recommend and use Viator in the future.

Jorge was a wonderful guide for this tour. He is knowledgeable and very enthusiastic and proud to share information about his town. We spent all morning with Jorge walking through the Gothic Quarter then to the Born District. We ended up at Citadel Park, where families were enjoying the beautiful day. We would highly recommend taking this tour.

Our tour guide, Jorge, was excellent. Our walking tour in Barcelona with him was the highlight of our entire cruise. We learned so much
of the old city of Barcelona from Jorge. We highly recommend him for any tour.

Private guide was on time, knowledgable, courteous, and entertaining.
Erin W, Jul 2017
This was my second trip to Barcelona, but my first opportunity to really understand the history of the city. Jorge did a fantastic job explaining the city's past, taking us to sights I had missed during my own walking tours, and providing content that made the tour very special. His excitement was genuine and appreciated.
Kenneth J P, Jul 2017
We took the three hour walking tour of Barcelona's Old Town with Marc as our guide. He was so enjoyable to be with and very informative of the history of Barcelona. His English was perfect.
We would highly recommend him.
Mary Grace D, Jun 2017
Allan is our tour guide and he go above and beyond helping us getting through the gothic quarter explanations. He's so nice and even go overtime for us and go places not part of the tour but a must see for tourist. Thank God for nice people and BCN Dream Tours.
Kathleen S, Jun 2017
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our private walking tour of Barri Gotic Barcelona with Marc. He proved to be knowledgeable and interesting. He was also patient answering our questions. We would highly recommend Marc as a guide.
Marco P, May 2017
Our tour guide was too inexperienced and lacked the breadth/depth of knowledge to make this tour worthwhile. His intentions were good but he only delivered partially what we expected.
Timothy_H, Oct 2016
Ramone was very educated about his hometown of Barcelona and was a wealth of information. We very much enjoyed his enthusiasm and friendliness. Well worth the time!
Amy K, Jul 2016
Our guide was wonderful, knowledgable and completely local. He was able to put Catalan culture into historical context and help us appreciate Barcelona history from Roman times to recent times. He was also able to adapt the tour for us and our preferred starting point and he made excellent recommendations for tapas and pintxos. Highly recommended.
Donna_C, Jun 2016
This was a nice tour. Our guide, Marc, was very engaging and seemed knowledgable. He showed us all the sites and placed them in context and told us the history surrounding them.
Henry R, Oct 2015
Very knowledgeable tour guide Allan made our visit to the Gothic Quarter way more fun and informative than trying to do it on our own.
Amarilis_M, May 2022
Todo estuvo muy interesante, principalmente la historia del centro, los lugares donde fuimos, etc...
Axel P, Nov 2019
Viel zur Geschichte der Stadt erfahren, der Guide war freundlich, kompetent und sprachgewandt; weiterführende Tipps für den Tag bekommen; alles in allem rundum empfehlenswert.
Pablo_R, Jul 2018
Primero agradecer la flexibilidad de la Agencia, que como tuvimos problema con un vuelo y no llegamos no tuvieron problema de reagendarlo y lo pudimos hacer de todas maneras.
Lo hicimos a la tarde, lo que fue muy bueno porque con el calor del verano agradecidos de que era un poco mas tarde. Por otro lado al ser mas de las 18 horas, no habia tanta gente en los lugares y pudimos caminar tranquilos y tener los sitios casi en exclusiva.
Muchas gracias tambien a nuestro guia Jorge que preparo el tour a nuestra medida teniendo todo planificado y superorganizado, ademas de aportarnos datos e historias que nos engancharon a todos.
Si puedo decir algo no tan bueno es que como fue de tarde habia algunos lugares que ya estaban cerrados, pero en el balance yo creo que igual es altamente
