5.00Despite a rainy cold day, Camelia provided our small family group with an insightful tour of the city. We enjoyed the sights and the history and lore surrounding them made the tour memorable.

5.00Had a wonderful walking tour experience with Fabio in Old Town - Barcelona. He was very prompt in his arrival and pickup at our hotel. He is very knowledgeable and aware of the history of Barcelona. He takes his time explaining the history as we walked through areas as if walking back in time. We highly recommend Fabio for your touring needs in Barcelona. Jackie & Randy

5.00Great walking tour with Antoine. Very interesting to compare to the first day tour of the Gaudi sites. Antoine was very knowledgeable about the history - truly a maze through the old town Barcelona neighborhoods! Highly recommend!
Peter is the best! :)

5.00One of the highlisghts in my vacations in northern Spain. It is the first tour you should do in Barcelona as it gives a broad overview of the construction of this ancient city. Our guide, a local girl whose name escapes me, was patient, kind and a great hostess.

5.00I never thought this city would be so interesting. I had been to Barcelona before but this was my first time with a guide, and it totally changed my perspective. It was almost 3 hours with Xavi, a local guy expert in history who helped us to understand Barcelona from different points of view. Thanks for everything!
Great tour

5.00The attention received by Pilar, the person in charge of the local agency, was fast and efficient from the first moment. Our guide in Barcelona, Xavi, was a well of wisdom, he answered all our questions and we had a memorable morning.

5.00In my previous visit I had done a tour in Sagrada Familia (excellent by the way) but this time I wanted to see more of the city. Roberto was our guide and he couldn't have been better. We walked around the gothic quarter, the cathedral area, the ramblas...talking about the historical and social factors of Barcelona, a perfect combination of present and past

5.00This tour gives an overview of what Barcelona was and is, I think it is the best tour I have done in my entire trip to Spain. Our guide was Joan, a lover of history and politics and a great storyteller. We got to know the inner area of the wall and our experience could not have been better.
