From it´s humble beginnings 2000 years ago as an innocuous fishing port to it´s modern international standing explore the city´s growth from Roman consolidation, Christian and Jewish persecution, imperial expansion, industrial explosion, political identity, artistic flourishing.Meet the ghosts of martyred Christians, iconic painters, war combatants, religious legends, glory hunting kings, medieval hangmen and many more, all of whom have left a cultural and physical mark on the windy, close- quartered streets of this, the oldest part of Barcelona. A native English speaking guide living in the city for 13 years, with a Spanish wife with lots of long time Barcelona friends, I have lots of first hand information about what lies within the Catalan people, how what makes them "tick", and more importantly, why! And as a professional Actor I´ll bring to life the stories, humour, triumphs, disasters that go to the soul of the Catalan people. Oh yeah, we´ll also meet a VERY HAIRY CATALAN MAN!!

5.00Patrick was wonderful—very knowledgeable and accommodating! I had to cut the tour short, but he made sure I still got a great overview of the Gothic Quarter and didn’t miss the highlights. He adjusted the pace and content so seamlessly that it still felt complete. His passion for the history and architecture really came through, and I learned so much in a short time. Highly recommend Patrick for anyone wanting an insightful and enjoyable tour of the Gothic Quarter.
Great!

5.00If you're interested in the history of Barcelona and how that greatly influenced and shaped current day Barcelona, then this tour is for you. And if you would like to hear the background, in other words the "rest of the story", then one would need a person to guide them that has that historical context, a grasp on the difference between folklore and fact, with the ability to express it in easy to understand English, than Patrick, our tour guide, is a must. A gifted conversationalist that encourages questions who was able to answer all of ours. One of the better tours we've ever taken and a large part of that assessment was due to Patrick's sageness and adroit presentation.
