Great evening tour - I took this tour with my family. Our guide Onno and he was fantastic! He was knowledgeable about the history of the region and how it connects to the present. He pointed out numerous details that we would have otherwise missed and always had answers to our questions. My daughters loved his stories. Highly recommend!

My 13 year old and I loved this tour! - Awesome and horrifying! Loic was a fantastic guide, engaging and informative with a twisted sense of humor. His English was excellent, and his storytelling was descriptive and very historically accurate. I learned a lot (and I’m a history nerd). Would definitely recommend!

Great Spooky Walking Tour - We had an incredible experience on the Barcelona Haunted History tour! Our guide was not only extremely knowledgeable, but also a fantastic storyteller who really brought the stories to life. He knew the winding streets of the Gothic Quarter like the back of his hand, and shared tales that were both eerie and historically rich. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper, spookier look at Barcelona's hidden historical side!
