It was a very informative tour, and the tour guide, Riccardo, was very friendly. This was our third time in Barcelona, and we still learned a lot of new things about the city.

Me ha parecido normal .tenia mas espectativas piestas en el free tour.nos ha faltado mas informacion.mucho caminar en silencio.y al final no me he quedado con nada.y no es pprque no he puesto interes.gracias..y si se supone que se da la voluntat.ya nos inponen un minimo de 15 euros.

I thought it was normal. I had higher expectations for the free tour. We lacked information, a lot of walking in silence, and in the end, I didn't learn anything. And it's not for lack of interest. Thanks. And if it's supposed to be a pay-what-you-want tour, they're already imposing a minimum of 15 euros.

¡Nos encantó el tour con Cristina por Barcelona! Hizo que el recorrido fuera muy entretenido y llevadero, contándonos la historia de la ciudad de una forma clara, cercana y llena de curiosidades. Fue muy amable con toda la familia y estuvo siempre atenta a nuestras preguntas. Nos llevamos un montón de historias y detalles que seguramente no hubiéramos descubierto recorriendo por nuestra cuenta. ¡Muchas gracias, Cristina, por una experiencia tan linda en Barcelona! Súper recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

We absolutely loved Cristina's tour of Barcelona! She made the tour so entertaining and enjoyable, telling us the city's history in a clear, engaging way, full of interesting facts. She was so kind to the whole family and always attentive to our questions. We came away with tons of stories and details that we definitely wouldn't have discovered exploring on our own. Thank you so much, Cristina, for such a wonderful experience in Barcelona! Highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Si estás dudando en hacer esta actividad o no, hacela. Nos tocó Laura y la experiencia fue espectacular. Más que un walking tour fue una experiencia de aprendizaje llena de reflexión, súper digerible incluso si no sos tan amante de la historia y muy lúdico. Rempleto de detalles interesantes. Hacela !!

Los guías con mucha experiencia, amables, ágiles...Me gustó el auricular,, solo que ese detalle no estaba en la guía. Pues son 3 euros x personas para usar el dispositivo. Donato nuestro guía, fue ayudando el grupo a entender a concretar hechos históricos y la conformación de la Barcelona Antigua. Gótico y Born está chuleado ya. Translate this opinion into English.

The guides are very experienced, friendly, and quick... I liked the headphones, but that detail wasn't in the guide. It's 3 euros per person to use the device. Donato, our guide, helped the group understand and clarify historical facts and the formation of Old Barcelona. Gothic and Born are already cool. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fran fue un gran Guía! Buscó la manera de que podamos captar tanta información: usó sonidos, luces y su speach fue totalmente profesional. Fue respetuoso, fue gracioso, fue cercano y pasional. He realizado muchos Free Tours por distintos países varias veces y Fra, realmente es alguien a quien he quedado admirada por su sabiduria y la pasión que le pone a su trabajo. Supo responder a cada una de mis preguntas. Volvería a hacer otro tour con Fran!! Translate this opinion into English.

We had an amazing time on this walking tour with Franco! He was incredibly knowledgeable, and the way he shared the history made everything so engaging and easy to follow. The tour had a great pace, and Franco was friendly, approachable, and happy to answer everyone’s questions. You can really tell he’s passionate about what he does. We learned so much while having a great time. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Barcelona!

Muy buena experiencia. Juan es un gran anfitrión de la ciudad. Un comentario : en la página para reservar deberían ser mas claros con los grupos grandes. Yo saqué 2 grupos de 5 personas porque en ningún lado especificaba que había que sacar los grupos grandes de otra forma. Translate this opinion into English.

Todo perfecto, lo único que el día antes hicimos el tour barrio gótico y resulta que el tour por Barcelona y el barrio gótico son los mismos, pero no hubo ningún problema el guía nos cambió con otro grupo que iba a hacer el tour Barcelona la parte moderna. Por cierto, Martín (el guía) fenomenal, muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was perfect, the only thing is that the day before we did the Gothic Quarter tour and it turns out that the tour of Barcelona and the Gothic Quarter are the same, but there was no problem as the guide switched us with another group that was going to do the modern part of the Barcelona tour. By the way, Martín (the guide) was phenomenal, highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Alejandro me pareció muy amable, buena onda y con mucho conocimiento. Nos enseñó el tip de la piedra, observando cómo han sido construidos los edificios se puede llegar a reconocer de qué época es la arquitectura. Nos contó algunas leyendas y cuestiones importantes de Barcelona. Me encantó y volvería a realizar un tour con él! Translate this opinion into English.

Alejandro seemed very kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. He taught us the "stone trick," explaining that by observing how buildings were constructed, you can often tell what era the architecture belongs to. He shared some legends and important facts about Barcelona. I loved it and would definitely take another tour with him! Opinion translated. Show original.

Por tratarse de un tour general de la ciudad falto información precisa y más contreta de la ciudad. En relación a los pagos voluntarios deberian ser mas prolijos. El guía dijo que menos dw 15 euros no ganaba plata y la página.sugiere 10 euros como mínimo. Si fuera asi sugiero que no trabajen con esta plataforma o no den mensajes que incomodan a los usuarios

Since it was a general city tour, it lacked precise and more specific information about the city. Regarding voluntary payments, they should be more thorough. The guide said he wouldn't earn anything less than 15 euros, and the website suggests a minimum of 10 euros. If that's the case, I suggest they don't work with this platform or don't send messages that make users uncomfortable.

Excelente trabajo de Laura tanto en la recepción y presentación, como a lo largo del recorrido. Os anticipo que soy de Barcelona pero os podéis imaginar que el día a día hace que te muevas por la ciudad sin mirar ni importarte mucho la historia de tu ciudad. En este contexto sólo puedo de hablar bien de nuestra guía, una persona con gran empatía y calidad profesional que, como era de esperar aportó cantidad de conocimiento deforma muy didáctica y con un tono alegre y amenísimo. Gracias, Laura. Translate this opinion into English.

Laura did an excellent job, both at the welcome and introduction, and throughout the tour. I should mention that I'm from Barcelona, but you can imagine that daily life often leads you to move around the city without paying much attention to its history. In this context, I can only speak highly of our guide, a person with great empathy and professionalism who, as expected, shared a wealth of knowledge in a very educational way and with a cheerful and engaging tone. Thank you, Laura. Opinion translated. Show original.

Cogimos un tour a las 18:30 y nos lo cambiaron a las 19:00h, así que empezamos con un poco de agobio. Cuando llegamos, nos colocaron por 1.5€ por persona un auricular, que no hacía ninguna falta, porque ninguno de los sitios donde explicaron cosas estaba lleno o era ruidoso. El contenido flojo, la verdad, y el recorrido, poco para dos horas.

We booked a tour for 6:30 pm and they changed it to 7:00 pm, so we started off a bit stressed. When we arrived, they charged us €1.50 per person for a headset, which wasn't necessary at all, because none of the places where they explained things were crowded or noisy. The content was weak, to be honest, and the tour was too short for two hours.
