I did the Old City tour with Gorka on my first morning in Barcelona. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a wealth of information about the history of the city and the places that we visited in a humorous and interesting way. We had plenty of time to take photos throughout the tour and also were able... More

I did the Old City tour of Barcelona with Gorka and it was fabulous! The guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Information delivered with professionalism and excitement.

It was cold, windy and raining off and on during both of our tours on April 27 and 28 - unusual for this time of year in Barcelona. Regardless of the weather, the two of us couples (along with at least 8 others) thoroughly enjoyed the Gaudi tour with Jessica and and Gothic city tour with Catherine. Both tour guides... More

It certainly has been raining way too much in Barcelona lately. Something very unusual for this time of the year. I am glad to hear that this didn't stop you from taking our tours and that you enjoyed them so much. Thanks a million for writing this. Both girls loved reading it and Catherine loved the photograph too :-) All... More

I did the Gaudi and Barri Gotic tours, and they were great. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. There was a lot of interesting information and Barcelona past and present, and Gaudi's works. Especially in the Gothic quarter, they did a great job outlining the neighbourhood's long and vibrant history. Overall they were just wonderful and I learned a... More

Hi to Australia and thank you so much for writing this review. Debbie will be chuffed. All these things that you mention about her are true. She is one of the most smiley and most passionate people about Gaudí's architecture that I know. I hope you can take more of our tours next time you are in town :-) Ann-Marie More

I read about the walking tours on Trip Advisor and decided to take the tour of the Gothic Quarter. We found the meeting place at Placa Reial really easily, just off Las Ramblas. The tour guides are easy to spot and approachable. We didn't pre-book as there was only two of us but you can pre-book via email if you... More
