It was an excellent experience with such a wonderful guide. There were lots of details, an interesting presentation, and a great ability to capture and keep the kids’ attention. I strongly recommend it for families and friends.

Fantastic experience with great guide, Emma. She was very funny and personable, and explained everything very nicely. I feel like I came away understanding so much about the city and its gothic quarter. Would 100% recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Emma was wonderful! So fun and knowledgeable! We had a group of 6 friends - and it was very much tailored to what the group wanted. We would’ve gotten lost on our own and not learned as much as we did without her!
Response from Host, Jun 2026

I’ve walked around the Gothic Quarter countless times and still came away with stories and details I’d never heard before. The tour felt very natural, interesting and well balanced between history and local insight. A nice reminder that there’s always more behind the places you think you already know.
Response from Host, May 2026
We appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon🫶
Jeanette_W, May 2026
The tour was great and very informative. Emma also customized the tour so it was tailored to our interest. Would definitely recommend!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for the 5 stars! It means a lot to our team🫶
Jordanna_L, May 2026
You will walk a lot and learn a lot.
A private tour is better than being with a lot of people. Definitely ask for Emma as your tour guide she was great.
Response from Host, May 2026
We're happy to hear you had a great time. Thanks for sharing your experience🫶

This tour was my first touch to the history and culture of Barcelona🇪🇦
And it was wonderful!
I visited so many beautiful places with the guide Emma, saw secret corners of the city (columns of a Roman temple hidden in an ordinary entrance, goddamn!), so many stories happened on these narrow, winding streets in past centuries!
I am completely satisfied with the tour, with it I discovered a passion for walking and for deeper study of Barcelona💫
I can definitely recommend this tour and will definitely come back next time I am here🌷

Tour guide was a no show with no communication. Do not recommend booking this tour to waste your valuable time visiting Barcelona.
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi Jay,
We are very sorry about the confusion and frustration caused on the day of your tour.
Unfortunately, there was a communication issue between the guide and the guests at the meeting point, and they were unable to locate each other. Because the tour was scheduled outside of our regular office hours, the main support line was not immediately available, which delayed our ability to assist in real time.
As soon as we became aware of the situation, we tried to reconnect both parties, but by then the guests had already left the meeting point.
We completely understand how disappointing this experience was and sincerely regret the inconvenience caused during your time in Barcelona. A full refund was issued immediately once the situation was confirmed.

Victoria was amazing- knowledgeable and lots of energy- we saw so many things historically and we were given great context for all of it!
Tom_S, Apr 2026
Really we glad we did this - it's the perfect introduction to the Old Town / Gothic Quarter. We loved having a private tour as well, it's great to have a guide all to yourself. Definitely recommend this for anyone visiting Barcelona for the first time.

We had an excellent personal guide. She explained the history as well as current issues. She pointed out landmarks and good places for coffee and dinner.

Vika, our guide, tailored the walk to our interests, shared fascinating stories, and showed hidden corners we’d never find alone. Intimate, relaxed, and truly memorable.
