Excellent tour overall. Meeting place was a bit confusing, in the center of a very busy foot traffic area with two separate access points, but once we found our guide, all was fine. Guide was very informative and enhanced the experience a great deal.

Our last day in Barcelona

Steve_C, Jun 2025
This was our last day in Barcelona. Fred was extremely informative and personable. My group of 9 friends enjoyed the experience and learned so much on this tour. We appreciated Fred and highly recommend this tour!

Montse Was amazing and taught us so much.

Scott, Jun 2025
What a great a thorough tour of Barcelona. Montse was full of history and knowledge. She kept us engaged and moving efficiently. Once we finished with the main part of the tour we took the subway to Sagrada Família where our minds were blown by the sheer beauty of it. We have never seen anything like to before nor will we again. Great tour would highly recommend and would do it again and add some other sites to it.

Knowledgeable and interesting

David_M, May 2025
Montse was our guide. As we went through the tour I had the impression that she and her family had been there for generations. She was so knowledgeable and interesting. I was so impressed with her and highly recommend.

Excellent tour guide

Jackie_k, Dec 2024
Alan our tour guide was fantastic. So very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond by meeting us the following day to see some locations that were unexpectedly closed the day of our tour. He gave a fantastic tour. We got the real feel for the Jewish history of Barcelona. Highly recommend.

Jewish Gothic tour and more!!!

William_M, Sep 2024
Tour guide Valentina was amazing. She was a wealth of information navigating me through the Gothic District to every nook. She tied in Jewish history and culture into the big picture of Spanish culture. Felt relax and engaged the entire time. She was a true historian and wonderful tour guide.

Worthwhile, very interesting

Lior_C, Apr 2024
Alan our guide was professional, enthusiastic, very knowledgeable. He was great. My favorite is where the decree was read to expel all the jews from Spain

Our tour of Barcelona's Old Jewish Quarter

Sandy_S, Aug 2023
Our tour guide, Alan, gave us a memorable tour of Barcelona's Jewish Quarter. Because my wife and I were the only ones on the tour, he was able to show us things that may not have been possible with a larger group, such as the interior of the ancient synagogue. Alan gave us a lot of information about Roman and medieval Barcelona, and also more modern information, like showing us where this area was marked by the Spanish Civil War. Alan was knowledgeable and great!

VERY DISSATISFIED

Bruce_W, Oct 2022
No items on the included itinerary were experienced. Except walking tour w Jewish highlights. No entry into major Synagogue, no wine or tapas

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Dear client, we regret that some points of the itinerary could not be fulfilled. Unfortunately the old synagogue of Barcelona is still closed since the Covid. We are waiting for it to open. We are very sorry, but we know you had an excellent tour, with the expert guide in the Jewish quarter, thank you for your time.

Scam

LeonidKatsman, Oct 2022
We didn't even go past the old synagogue that is in the title of the tour! From the description, you would think that you would learn about the Jewish community that thrived for centuries, but we didn't learn a single thing. The tour guide knew nothing about the Jewish quarter and the Jewish history of Barcelona. We saw none of the sites promised in the description, and that was shown in the short virtual tour. Btw the virtual tour can be done on your own time since it is part of a separate business. The only thing that we did that was promised was the virtual reality and a tapas bar. The remaining portion of the tour was 2.5 hours of walking around random streets without a purpose and seeing the city market and a house Gaudi designed. It was super awkward and disorganized. The tour guide told us she never did this tour before and was something that was pushed on her at the very last moment. If that is the case the organizer of the tours is scamming his customers. Barcelona's Jewish community was viciously destroyed during the inquisition, and these people are scamming the people who want to keep their memory alive. Disgusting and disrespectful.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

We are sorry to hear about this tour. The guide must have had a bad day. We will review everything you have told us and talk to the guide. The idea is always to improve, that's why we appreciate your opinion, thank you.
