5.00We had an amazing time with Stephanie! She was extremely knowledgeable and brought great energy to the tour. We had the best time with her. We also sincerely appreciated the adaptability she showed with our group as she allowed for breaks and a slower pace which we needed. Highly recommend any tour with Stephanie, especially for history lovers. We loved all of “the surprises” she shared, the most special being the dancing egg!
Barcelona walking tour fun!

5.00Having been on a few private tours, I would have to rank this tour with Steven as really amazing! He engaged with my family and I, wove stories that were hilarious as they were intriguing. It was a small group of just myself, MIL and Spouse; went over a little on our time together but! It was so worth it because the tour was crafted just for us. And our guide accommodated our requirements to the best of his ability; especially considering that I had back issues, so longer walks eventually take its toll on me. the price point might have been a touch steep, but I always believe in 'You get what you pay for'. So if you are the type that want to splurge to get a great experience out of your tour, then... do it. :) 10/10, would definitely recommend.
Mediocre tour for the premium price

2.00If you can, try to use a different tour guide - not Steve . The tour was made from random anecdotal stories, not much said about city rich history (but plenty of personal Steve’s life history).

5.00Olga was an exceptional guide. She was very knowledgeable about the Barcelona Gothic Quarter and pointed out details which made the walk fascinating. I use a cane so I’m a slow walker but she was very patient and I was able to keep up and really enjoy the tour. We happened upon a human tower competition and took our time to watch. I highly recommend Olga as a guide.
Adorable guide

5.00Our solo tour with Steven was fantastic! He had a great sense of humor, was very knowledgeable, and made the experience so enjoyable. Super friendly, engaging, and full of interesting tales and local stories you’d never hear otherwise. He really brought the city to life and made the tour feel personal and memorable, even tweaking it to suit our interests! We will ask for Steven again on our next trip to Barcelona!! A+++
Great tour with a knowledgeable, friendly guide.

5.00Jose Carlos couldn’t have been nicer. Knowledgeable. Able to answer all questions. Post tour , he sent us recommendations for restaurants. Encouraged us to see other sites that he thought were worthwhile. To top that off, he provided his cell number should we have any questions going forward. Would definitely book with him again.
