Description

Itinerary
The Liceu Opera House is an architectural marvel cursed by a cycle of disaster that strikes every twenty years. Nearby, in the gritty streets of Raval, you’ll hear about Barcelona’s most infamous serial killer.
Raval was never a glamorous neighbourhood, but the pickpockets of today have got nothing on Barcelona’s most infamous serial killer.
Stare at this Gothic Basilica and uncover the story of one fateful pact that met a terrible end. In the nearby streets of El Call, discover a legend of love, lies, and poison at the Alchemist’s House.
In the heart of the Jewish quarter sits an unassuming house that is home to a legend of love, lies, and poison.
Barcelona’s most iconic bridge holds a sinister secret. Whatever you do, don’t look up.
In this narrow corner of the Gothic Quarter, you’ll learn about Barcelona’s patron saint and how she met a brutal end after enduring torture.
Step into this humble square and stare at the scarred facade of the church as you hear about the horrors of the Franco Regime and Spanish Civil War. The whispers of spirits may still cling to these walls.
Behind the Cathedral, stone creatures carved to ward off evil spirits aren’t all what they seem. At King’s Square, a former Inquisition execution site, the horrors beneath your feet tell a chilling story.
This gorgeous palace is a popular spot for photo ops but once you learn about the bloody executions that took place here during the Spanish Inquisition, you might think twice before grabbing the camera.
When you see the faces, you might be closer to fun than you realise.
The tour continues through El Born, past a poet’s apartment where paranormal rituals took place, and to the Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, where a bride’s scream still echoes. The grand finale awaits at Passeig del Born.
This stunning basilica is the site of many weddings, and here you’ll learn why they say, “Till death do us part.”
Just 10 minutes up the road, a hotel manager was hungry for more than just money…

amazing experience our guide, jordan was funny and very knowledgeable. gave us recommendations of local bars and the history of the city. highly recommend :)
I had a really great tour with Mariah! She is very caring about making sure each individual is able to hear her, and sticks with the group when it’s time to go to the next spot. She also is a great story teller, with a light touch of needed humour, when telling us all of the spooky stories and tales in Barcelona!
Tour was excellent. We had Mariah for our tour and she was brilliant, she had a lot of knowledge and was very funny along the way.
Great your. Mariah was hilarious, very knowledgeable, and kept it interesting the whole time. 2 hours seems like a long time to hear about haunted history, but it went by so quickly. This is GREAT for the true crime lovers!
Fantastic and very informative. A must Danny was wonderful
Had a informative and fun tour with Danny who was very knowledgeable about the area. Learnt a lot of history in addition to all the spooky tales. Thanks Danny for an unforgettable Barcelona experience!
We had a lovely lady called Mariah. She was very funny and knew so much about the city. It was very scary and super interesting. I wish I could go back and hear it all again. Very enjoyable, definitely worth it!
Fun and interesting tour, Mariah was a great guide!
Mariah was great and the tour was so much fun! We booked for our first night and it was a great way of getting familiar with one of the oldest parts of the city :)
