Sabrina was fantastic guiding us around the Gothic Quarter and teaching us about the history of the place. She helped us with navigating the area and shared great tips and recommendations. I’m so glad we did this tour on our first day in Barcelona, and would recommend starting your trip the same way.

I booked this tour back in June 2024 for April 2025 and never had a problem with a change of time, date, or anything else. I received notification more than 24 hours prior by Julianna, with complete instructions on where to meet her and what she would be wearing. Upon my arrival she was already there and let me and my partner know that we were her only clients and started immediately. I was a little nervous because I typically don't like talking or communicating with someone for 2 to 3 hours without knowing them, which is why i booked a group tour rather than a private one. But let me tell you, Julianna was no stranger! She was well spoken, full of energy, and very kind spirited. More so, this lady is extremely knowledgeable and knows her stuff about Barcelona! I had other tours scheduled later for the day, as well the next day, one of which was the Cathedral 2 hours afterwards. Because of Julianna, I was able to walk in and have knowledge on who some of individuals with shrines there were, to even include why there are 13 Geese living there n the church. I won't spoil the tour and provide the reveal, but be ready to be in awe with all the information she will be able to provide you with. In addition we got to sample some amazing chocolates, of which she gave us ample time to shop around and purchase some for ourselves to take home, as well as she took us to a local eatery that we would not have ever thought to walk into on our own. Absolutely the best sangria's, tapas, olives, paella, and much more that weve had so far during our stay! Make sure you dont skip going to Pasa Tapas Barceloneta, you can see and try it for yourselves! I promise I didn't get paid to write this for her, nor did she bribe me in anyway but Julianna is definitely the best guide for anyone who is actually interested in learning about Barcelona, its' history, and the culture of the area! 10 out of 10, would recommend her tour to anyone and everyone that has the time to do it!

Lovely walking tour with our very knowledgeable guide Juliana. We enjoyed learning more about the less known parts of Barcelona and the Gothic quarter. We didn’t find the tour too long which was better as we were keen to carry on exploring on our own but with more knowledge

lenar_g, Apr 2024
Great tour, and Juliana, our guide was very good, very knowledgeable about the old city and all the historical points and places we went, good thing is, because of her, we didn't get lost in the old city streets, they are very confusing, we walked a lot and we learn a lot, took a ton of pictures and have a great time altogether, and by the way, the Sangria was delicious.

This was the most informative tour we've ever taken. Our guide Valentina was a wealth of knowledge and information. Not only did she know so much history of the Gothic quarter, but she was so passionate about it. Honestly it was Iike hanging out with a friend who happened to live in Barcelona and we were catching up and she was showing us the sites and let us in on some little gems around town.
