Hemos hecho el tour con Aarón y, a pesar de que somos de Barcelona, nos ha explicado muchísimas historias interesantes que no conocíamos. Nos ha respondido a todas las preguntas y hemos pasado un rato súper agradable! Lo recomiendo para quienquiera que sea un amante de la ciudad y de este barrio tan mágico.

Stories and Legends of the Gothic Quarter: excellent tour and guide.

My husband and I took this tour in May (2018). Our guide Giovanna, was absolutely fantastic! She was so knowledgeable about the Gothic Quarter and made history come to life. She was enthusiastic, very friendly and her English was impeccable. We had another couple on the tour from Spain, and Giovanna was terrific in switching back and forth from Spanish to English without making any of us feel that we were missing anything. This tour was one of the highlights of our Barcelona vacation.

Stories and Legends of the Gothic Quarter Walking Tour – Great Tour! Fun and Interesting!

This was our first trip to Barcelona were a family of four with two adults, in our 40s, and two teenagers 16 and 14. We took the English tour on 27 July 2017. Our guide, Núria, was friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and full of information, stories, and legends of the Gothic Quarter! Our tour lasted a bit over two and a half hours, and provided us with lots of interesting information and helped us better appreciate Barcelona, its history, and its culture. We highly recommend this tour! It was lots of fun, and very interesting too!

Frequently asked questions about regular tours

What is a regularly scheduled tour?

Un tour regular es un tour que hacemos con salidas programadas. Tu compras tu entrada para un día y una hora en concreto y compartirás el tour con otras personas.

Nos importa la calidad de nuestros tours, por eso nunca encontrarás grupos masificados. Si mucha gente se apunta, dividimos el grupo en dos. En el caso del Slow Gothic Tour nunca encontrarás más de 12 personas. En el resto de nuestros tours regulares el máximo es 22 personas.

What do you need to do a regularly scheduled tour?

Una vez efectuada la reserva, solo tienes que presentarte en el punto de encuentro a la hora indicada.

Te recomendamos calzado cómodo porque todos nuestros tours regulares son a pie. Si es verano quizá también te venga bien una botella de agua o algo para refrescarte.

How can I customize the experience?

Esta tour no se puede personalizar porque es un tour regular. Si lo deseas hacer en exclusiva puedes ponerte en contacto con nosotros y personalizarlo a tu gusto: elegir el día, la hora y el número de personas o cambiar parte del recorrido y incluir alguna otra parada o monumento. Te contestaremos y podremos seguir el proceso.
