5.00We loved our walking tour with Anna! She was a great guide, very knowledgeable and included interesting history, Lore, and culture throughout the tour. It was a perfect introduction to Barcelona, and helped us to become more acquainted to the city and to identify places we wanted to spend more time at. Would highly recommend booking with Anna!

5.00My wife, two friends, and I joined Tyler’s Gaudí Architecture and Gothic Quarter tours, and it was easily one of the highlights of our time in Barcelona. Tyler is incredibly knowledgeable and seemed to have an answer for every question we threw at him. Beyond the history and architecture, he did an outstanding job managing the entire experience and making everything feel effortless for the group. He also had a great sense of humor and an uncanny way of making a connection with each of us. One thing we especially appreciated was the use of earpieces, which allowed us to hear him clearly no matter where we were standing. In a busy city with crowded streets and attractions, that made a huge difference. He also thoughtfully kept us in the shade whenever possible, planned routes that flowed naturally between sites, and even built in convenient water stops along the way. The metro portion of the tour could have been a hassle, but Tyler made it seamless. He quickly arranged metro passes for the group, saving everyone time and confusion, and kept us moving efficiently throughout the day. Beyond the tour itself, Tyler was a fantastic local resource. He provided excellent recommendations for food, drinks, and additional sights to visit during our stay. His guidance helped us get even more out of Barcelona. Perhaps the biggest compliment we can give is that we actually made new friends during the tour. Tyler created an atmosphere that was welcoming, engaging, and enjoyable for everyone. Those connections and memories would not have happened without him. If you’re looking for a guide in Barcelona who is knowledgeable, organized, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about what he does, Tyler is an easy recommendation. We would happily book another tour with him. A strange thing, really. You pay for a tour expecting facts about buildings, and somehow you leave with new friends, restaurant recommendations, and a functioning understanding of public transit. Humanity occasionally exceeds expectations. Tyler seems to be one of those occasions.
Best Tour of Both Cities

5.00We had Hanna as our Guide and she was an amazing tour guide. Her passion could be seen as we toured the Old and New Towns. She was such fun to walk and tour with... 5* is not high enough for Hanna.

5.00Evan’s tour was informative and one of the best walking tours I had in a long time. He is so knowledgeable about the city and provided us with so much history. This is such a good investment of time and I highly recommend anyone exploring Barcelona to come for a 2 hour 15 mins tour with Evan for a comprehensive introduction to the city.
Perfect First Day Tour!!

5.00Loved this tour! I would recommend doing this ASAP when you arrive in Barcelona, because it gave me so many ideas of things to do/visit while I’m here. I came on my own, but so did a lot of other people in the group. It was very easy to talk to people and make friends between stops. Our guide Filipa was WONDERFUL!!! She is so knowledgeable about the history of the city and kept us interested and engaged throughout the whole tour. I would advise anyone doing this tour to bring a full water bottle and a fan if you have one as it is a lot of walking for a long time. Filipa always made sure we stopped in the shade which was very nice. Tour started at 2 and ended at 5 because we started a little late (waiting for people to arrive) and made a mid-tour stop at a market for food and water. I would highly recommend this tour & our guide Filipa to anyone visiting Barcelona!
A fantastic tour!
