Absolutely loved it!

We tried a self-guided tour for the first time and absolutely loved it! The interactive challenges made exploring the city even more fun, and it was a great way to test how much (or how little!) we knew about the places we visited. And yes – we completed the skull challenge! the skull challenge!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you for your awesome feedback! We're so happy you loved your first self-guided tour experience! The interactive challenges are designed to make exploring even more fun, and it’s great to hear they did just that. And congratulations on completing the skull challenge! 💀 Hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Really enjoyed it

I love traveling solo and avoiding tour groups, so this tour was perfect for me. It included plenty of hidden spots that most tourists miss, along with lots of essential information about the Barri Gotic. I took a longer break and returned to the game later -so the skull part didn’t work out too well for me.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed exploring the hidden spots and learning more about the Barri Gòtic at your own pace. The flexibility to take breaks and return later is one of the things we love about this tour, though we understand that some interactive elements, like the skull part, might be trickier when resuming later. We appreciate you giving it a try and hope you had a great experience overall. Safe travels, and we’d love to have you on another adventure in the future!

Great tour!

I’ve been to Barcelona before, but this tour made me see the Gothic quarter in a whole new way. Loved exploring hidden gems and quiet little squares without the usual tourist crowds. It felt like discovering a secret side of the city. Plus, it’s super convenient – no need to download another app, everything works easily through Whatsapp. Totally recommend!

A really fun and easy tour! We did it with kids, and everyone enjoyed it. The tasks were interesting and made us pay attention to details. The best part was that we didn’t need to download any extra apps – everything worked on WhatsApp. There were lots of audio guides, pictures, and stories. And the coolest thing - we actually walked the skull shape! Super fun experience!

The entire Gothic Quarter right on your phone! Simple, clear, and all links work perfectly. I really enjoyed the audio guide and the fact that there’s also video content. No connection issues at all. Everything runs smoothly through WhatsApp! We also tried a few recommendations -the rooftop terrace and cafe -absolutely 10/10!
