Alex did a great job winding us through the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter. he had a lot of interesting information to share about the neighborhood. As an extra bonus, we were given free admission to the Frederic Mares Museum after the tour. Excellent experience!
The tour guide Iris was amazing! She was knowledgeable, witty and engaging. We wished the tour had a bit more walking and area covered, but Iris made up for it.
We arrived at the meeting point for the tour but could not find anyone, we saw a couple of other tours but weren't our one. Tried to contact tour operator but then could not access to receive or send further messages. We have not had the experience we paid for. We were looking forward to this and has cost us money and left us with no activity
It was a great experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend this tour..
Loved seeing the beautiful old buildings and listening to the history of the quarter. My only complaint was that the tour guide had a nylon jacket on and the material gave a scratchy sound that fed into his mike. I finally took the microphone earbud from my ear as it was more than my ear could handle.
Last month I signed up for a walking tour of the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona. It was absolutely wonderful thanks to our illustrious tour guide by the name of LAURA! Laura was so energetic and enthusiastic about sharing the history of each section of the areas we stopped at. Her sense of humor kept us interested in all aspects of the tour. She was extremely personable and her electric personality generated an excitement in me and also in my sister and brother-in-law to learn more and more about each historic detail. She also spoke clearly, articulately and she projected her voice loud enough so that everyone could hear her over noises and workmen who were making noises nearby. She also gave us significant information about the architecture and sculptures that we encountered on our tour. She had studied art at the university level. I am so happy that I signed up for this walking tour. Laura deserves to be given a medal for being one of the best tour guides in Barcelona! I want to express my thanks to Laura for giving us one of the best tours of our Barcelona trip.
We felt this tour was a bit waste of our money. Very little actual knowledge was given us as to the history of the quarter. We didn’t really seem to have a defined path but just seemed to wander and spent entirely too much time on the Cathedral even though it is yes central to the quarter
Alberto was AMAZING! one of the best tour I have taken in Barcelona. He showed us the true about the Gothic quarter and took us to impressive places full of history and “secrets”. Thanks!
Easily walkable & very succinct summation of the history of Barcelona. History, architecture & a museum—definite must do!
Pilar did a fabulous job of guiding us around the gothic quarter. She was friendly, professional and knowledgeable.
