Adi was a wonderful guide who knew a lot about the history of the Jewish quarter. He was patient and engaging with our two young children and had lots of fun ways to engage them throughout the tour. We appreciated his hospitality, as well as recommendations for other destinations to check out in the area. We would definitely recommend Adi to others.

Adi is a friendly and knowledgeable guide. He presented the Jewish history of Barcelona, while combining it with the secular history too. Great communication before the trip.

This tour was by far our favorite. Adi combined very interesting history and facts that we would have never known on our own. Our 12 and 16 year old kids were riveted and engaged the whole time. It really put Jewish history and world history together to create a comprehensive understanding of Jewish experience in Spain. You will not be disappointed! Boo

This tour was excellent. It gave a historical perspective of not only Jewish history, but Barcelona history as well. We were exposed to Roman ruins and Mikvahs hidden in stores that we would not have found on our own. Adi, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining.
Robert_S, Dec 2025
Adi was outstanding. His knowledge of the history and love of his work was apparent. He showed us many fascinating remnants of history found in stores. He really made the history, often painful, come alive.

Adi was incredibly knowledgeable about the Jewish history and overall history of Spain. He gave just the right amount of commentary without it being too tiring. My 20 year old son who loves history really enjoyed the tour too! We highly recommend the tour to learn the important history and impact of the Jews in Spain. Thank you Adi!

This was an absolutely amazing and enlightening experience. Our guide, On Tal, was extraordinary — his deep knowledge of history, etymology, and genealogy brought the story of Jewish Barcelona vividly to life. He didn’t just recite facts; he wove them together with fascinating anecdotes and personal stories that revealed the human side of history.
In just over two hours, I felt transported through centuries — from the time of the oldest surviving house in Barcelona, built by a Jewish family, to the echoes of a community that shaped the city long before the Inquisition. Having recently moved to Barcelona myself, this tour completely transformed the way I see the city.
On’s passion, insight, and storytelling are remarkable. I could have spent the entire day listening to him. For anyone who truly wants to understand Barcelona beyond the usual tourist highlights, especially those with Jewish heritage or an interest in the city’s deeper roots, this tour is essential. Complex, moving, and profoundly meaningful.
