Lots of walking on uneven terrain but so worth it! What a beautiful and fascinating spot. Onno was a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. Can’t recommend him enough! Go on a Saturday and you’ll get to see the funeral carriage museum. Tiny but astonishing.
Best tour in Barcelona. The Montjuic Cemetery tour with Onno is terrific. Onno is the most knowledgeable tour guide I’ve ever known, as well as kind and fun. Tour operations were very good - responsive and flexible. The best part is being at Montjuic Cemetery — a Hidden gem that is beautiful, tranquil, and full of a wealth of history about the people and culture of Barcelona. I’ve done tours on 4 continents and this really is tops. If I could only do one thing in Barcelona, it would be this tour. Highly recommend.
The tour was fantastic! Our guide was super knowledgeable and definitely helped us understand the history and see the architectural highlights of the huge cemetery. It was a pleasure to learn from him and was nice to escape the crowds as we immersed ourselves in this unique tour about Barcelona’s history.
This was a very awesome experience! Shoutout Onno for his enthusiasm and informative commentary! I learned so much and I am grateful for his kindness.
Montjuic Cemetery is a vast Architecture of power, memory, and legacy. In a monumental scale that requires a real connoisseur to tackle it. Omni our guide was that person, knowledgeable, curious, and able to point out the sites of interest all while sprinkling the local history and important information about the monuments and the people in them. A must do if you are in Barcelona. Onno made it easy and interesting to navigate.
Very interesting. Very friendly. Very good knowledge of graveyard hidden places. Meeting place easy to find. Definitely recommend.
