Informative Experience - Deena was very knowledge and pleasant. Even though we had a walking tour of the Gothic Quarter earlier, we learned new things from this tour. Donna pointed out things we had not seen before that had Jewish significance. We had passed by the area of the old Jewish ghetto before without realizing its historical significance. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in the Jewish history of Barcelona.

Learn about the Jewish history of Barcelona with Dina - My daughter and I loved our tour with Dina Arad. She was so nice and accommodating, and very knowledgeable. She shared her love of Barcelona and it’s Jewish history with us, giving us so much information but in a digestible way. She also organized when she spoke in line with what she showed us very well. Highly recommend - enjoy your time with Dina.

Old Jewish Quarter in Barcelona - We had such an interesting walking tour with Adi Mahler.
He pointed out such interesting things that we would never have found on our own.
His knowledge is incredible and he can answer any questions.
Adi also has a great sense of humour

Excellent tour with experienced guide - We really had an amazing time with our tour guide Mar. She was very informed of the areas we toured and made the entire 5 hours very easy to navigate. She made excellent suggestions on lunch and snacks as well. The tour was just as the description stated. Excellent transportation service as well. Picked up in a very clean van with friendly driver. I would highly recommend.

Our families best day of touring spent with Dafna and Dina! - Our family of 9 travelers (7 adults and 2 small children) spent the entire day seeing Barcelona with Dafna and Dina. All I could say was it was the most wonderful day. We spent the morning hours with Dafna walking through the old town and Jewish Quarter. Dafna was so knowledgeable about Jewish History and made everything come to life. She held our attention the entire time, took us to unexpected places, and was a real delight. After lunch (which Dina had arranged for us) we spent the remainder of the day with Dina touring the important sites of Barcelona. She was a real pleasure to deal with through all of the planning process, and the day we spent with her could not have been better. We felt so fortunate to have had seen everything we did, in the allotted time, and with two such special people!
