Barcelona revealed - Our guide Carlos was excellent! He was extremely knowledgeable on the history of Barcelona and Spain. Additionally he was accommodating to our walking speed due to recent slowed mobility. We highly recommend this tour.

Great time with Patrick - Patrick was a great guide for this private walking tour! We communicated beforehand about the time and he was right there waiting for us. His tour is full of interesting facts about the history of Barcelona and the Gothic Quarter specifically. We especially appreciated his recommendations for local bars, restaurants, churros, and gelato—all were excellent!

This tour worked really... - This tour worked really well for my family. Carlos was fun, knowledgeable, and flexible. He engaged my kids (the poop log really got their attention) as well as the adults. We loved that it was private so we could move at our own pace.

Highlight of Barcelona stay - Patrick gave us an unforgettable tour. From days before the tour he coordinates with you the time and location. Even picture of the meeting spot. This was helpful, we didn’t feel so lost trying to find the meeting spot. My family found this tour a highlight of Barcelona and grew more of an appreciate of the history of the area. Patrick is very knowledgeable of Barcelona, Spain and the history of the area during the Roman times. To hear about Barcelona and the different groups among the area. His story telling kept my family interested. He took pictures of us along the way. Thank you Patrick for an unforgettable tour. Would highly recommend!

Patrick is knowledgable of the history and Spain, especially Barcelona and the Roman Empire. His knowledge and story telling skills keeps everyone engaged. I would highly recommend this tour. You will grow a deeper appreciate of the history of the area. Patrick communicates with you days before your tour to coordinate meeting points and address with exact pictures where to go so you are not lost and know exactly where to meet. This is a big plus.

Such a fun tour - Carlos was my guide and it was such a a great experience. He was able to pick me up from my hotel and we walked the distance to the quarter The insight he provided on the history and current goings on of not just the Quarter but Barcelona and Spain at large was a great learning opportunity.

Barcelona old town - Patrick met us at our hotel and took us on a splendid walk through the old city. Lots of historical info and anecdotes and recommendations for pastry and chocolate shops. We had been in Barcelona before, but explored areas we didn’t know existed. It was an entertaining experience.
