Amazing overview of Gaudi's life and work - We had a fantastic experience on the Gaudi Tour, with our host Lisa, who could not have been more friendly, knowledgeable & accommodating. We were particularly fortunate to be the only two participants, which made for an extra special experience. Lisa is such a knowledgeable guide and her passion for Gaudi and Barcelona in general really shone through. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and wouldn't hesitate to recommend booking - enjoy!

Excellent introduction to Barcelona's old town - Although we were the only people who signed up for the Gothic Quarter group tour on a Sunday in December, Runner Bean still ran the tour with just the 2 of us. So in effect we had a 2-hour private walking tour. And it was the perfect introduction to the old town, including a bit of El Born. Our guide Julie led us briskly through the maze of alleys to hidden squares and other sites that we'd never have found easily ourselves. Her running commentary was interesting & informative, aided by her folder of pictures and maps, and she patiently answered our questions. We learned about local issues not in any guidebook and a broad outline of the history that was useful context for things we'd subsequently see in Barcelona. We'd absolutely recommend this tour and appreciate Runner Bean and Julie's professionalism for going ahead with it for only 2 old fogies.

Great Value! - It was easy to find Ivan at Plaça Reial. He was friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was a full two and a half hour walk with a break about half way through. Ivan was great! We gave him €50 for the two of us.

Excellent Tour of the Barcelona Gothic Quarter - This was one of the most informative walking tours we have taken. Lisa is a great tour guide and really brought the history of the gothic quarter in Barcelona alive. We really enjoyed learning about the Catalan history and culture. We will definitely use Runner Bean again and especially look for tours with Lisa as the tour guide.

Fantastic! - We were an extended family group of 5 who took Katharyn’s Gothic Quarter tour today. It was excellent! Katharyn was engaging, fun, knowledgable, and so helpful (lots of good tips when we asked)! The information she gave us and route she took us on gave us a real flavor for the culture and history of the area. Our tour ranged in age from young adults to several in their upper 80’s and Katharyn did a wonderful job setting a nice pace for everyone. We all highly recommend this tour!!!!
