    I did the free Gaudí and modernism walking tour with Alessio. It was really interesting with insight in Gaudi's life and interesting details on the facades of the most beautiful modernist buildings in Barcelona, Sagrada Familia included. I can only recommend it and kudos to Alessio for the job well done! 🙂

    The tour with Pedro has been great. Even though I have been living in Barcelona for years and knowing many things about the city, I have been very happy and surprised by the veracity of all the information. He has also explained anecdotes and stories that I did not know. 100% recommended and if you are lucky to do it with him much better ☺️

    We had a super fun experience and my daughter who’s a huge art fan loved every minute of it with our very knowledgeable guide Claire! 5 stars, And we’ll definitely return for more. Thanks Claire for making it so memorable!

    Julian was our very interesting and fun tour guide. Very energetic yet easy to follow, and I feel that being energetic is so much better than lacking energy. The Gothic tour included tips on spots for food, drinks and sightseeing (however, it's always advisable to take guide tips with a grain of salt). Many younger kids were present and most of them kept attention throughout, which is an accomplishment in my opinion. One minor thing: the tour also includes a gruesome story which not everyone might deem appropriate for small children. However, it's one of the most important legends on the history of Barcelona, so I understand why it's in the your. The tour took a long time: about 2,5 hours, full of legends and sweet spots. Every attendant can decide their own price afterwards (if it's no good to you, you can even decide to not give anything at all, although I don't think that will be necessary). Overall definitely a recommendation if you want to learn more about the history of the old city. Julian and his colleagues also give a similar tour about the modern part of the city, so that one can get a full overview of the city as it is today.

    We took a fabulous tour in Barcelona today with our guide, Javier. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable, and made our tour both interesting and fun. His knowledge of the history of Spain made for a fabulous tour. Javier answered all of our questions and although we have been in Barcelona many times, this was the first time that we took this tour, which was very informative and fun. For anyone who may be worried that walking through the area could be too much for them, let me assure you that the pace was very easy to follow. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend both the company and Javier. Thank you for a wonderful day!

    Jarrod was amazing. GreaT host, sense of humour and amazing story teller. I recommend this English tour of the Gothic part of Barcelona with a touch of Jewish history and the tour down the Born neighborhoods.

  • 5/5 Eline 6 months ago on Google
    Had a very nice tour about modernism and Gaudí with our guide Alessio. He is very knowledgeable and told many intresting facts about the buildings and that time period. I thought he was also very funny and made sure to include you during the tour. I did sometimes find it hard to properly hear what was being said, but I have that quickly when there is noice(cars, people) around.

  • 5/5 Linda O. 1 year ago on Google
    Julian was an amazing tour guide! My family of four learned so much from his tour of the Gothic quarter and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others. He also has a great sense of humor. I wish I spoke as many languages as he does!

  • 5/5 Jon K. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a terrific time and learned a lot from Alessio. His knowledge of Barcelona and its history was tremendous and perfect for a newbie like me, as he’ll take you around to see all the highlights of the Gothic area.

    We had a fun tour with tour guide Alessio (hope I spelled his name right) in the Gothic Quarter and El Born. He told us a lot about history around as well as fun facts, Catalonian traditions and places to visit! Would go on tour with Barkeno Tours again once I'm in Barcelona.

  • 5/5 Andrea V. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience! I highly recommend it if you want to explore the city at its fullest

  • 5/5 Dora V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great tour of old town Barcelona. Alessio is very interesting and great guide.

  • 5/5 Emma R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing walking tour about Gaudì and the Modernisms, to grasp and visualize how Barcelona was back then and the great influence they had on the architecture of the city. Our guide Alessio is a true storyteller: he brought us back in time, giving us references to understand what we were seeing, and also keeping us engaged for the almost three-hour visit. I did not even notice the time, just lost listening, laughing and being astonished by what I was seeing. Alessio in highly competent, engaging and with a great sense of humour!

  • 5/5 Räj E. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent. We booked for walking tour around Barcelona city center and it’s completely worth. The tour guide explained things and got to know more interesting facts. I would definitely recommend to book and see the difference between walking around streets and walking with tour guide and knowing the facts around :) Cheers.
