Fantastic and engaging tour. Katharyn, our guide, was excellent. Interesting stories that held our kids’ attention.
We did this walking tour with our two boys, aged 13 and 15, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We saw so much more than we ever would have on our own and learned an incredible amount about the area’s history. Our guide brought the stories to life and showed us hidden corners and secrets that we would have walked straight past without even noticing. It gave us a real understanding of the history and how everything fits together, rather than just looking at landmarks.
This was an overall great experience, Elena was amazing with the kids and kept them engaged in a way that’s sometimes difficult to do in the midst of a big historical city. One little note to families with older kids: my girls (11, 13) still enjoyed but the tour but it is definitely geared toward kids under 10. Our 7 year old loved it!
Lisa was an excellent guide and made it super engaging for the kids. We lucked out where we were the only folks on the tour so it was catered to our 5yo, 10yo and 12yo. She was also mindful to include us as parents and adults as well to make the tour worthwhile.
Julie, our tour guide was so knowledgeable, and the tour was really fun. The time went so quickly.
Elena was our amazing guide on the kids and family tour of the Gothic Neighborhood! The kids loved that we started with candy from one of the historic stores and she did an amazing job relating the stories and history we saw on the tour with pictures and props. She was so patient, good humored and engaging with our three boisterous boys (7,7,and 9)who had a lot to comment and ask. We would have never seen or remembered everything ourselves, but the kids activities were well done so that they really engaged in the tour. The giants were super fun to see and she gave great recs for lunch and interests for our kids after. If you want your kids to be happy and engaged on a tour, this is the one. Highly recommend this tour and the wonderful Elena!
Our guide was Julie. She was entertaining and intellectually stimulating. I would recommend this tour. Hope the other guides are as good as Julie😊
It was a wonderful tour for all ages, both kids and adults. We learned a lot throughout the experience. One thing that could make it even better would be having headphones and a mic for the guide so we could hear her clearly at all times. Kathryn was very friendly and did a fantastic job keeping the kids engaged with fun activities, while also making it interesting and enjoyable for the adults. Overall, a great experience for the whole family!
A fantastic tour! Informative, entertaining and well suited for parents and kids alike. Lisa, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. The tour was suitably paced, learning secrets of Catalunya while being able to take in the sights of the beautiful gothic quarter. Highly recommend if you are travelling with children or even living in a Barcelona and wanting an educational experience for your kids.
Me encanto todo. Aunque estuvo lloviendo al momento de reunirnos. Todo aclaró para luego tener un maravilloso tour por las calles de la Barcelona Gótica. Andriy fue maravillosamente paciente y amable. Su vasto conocimiento referente al sitio es loable. Lo van a disfrutar mucho. Eso si. Preparados para caminar por más de dos horas! A mi familia y a mí nos fascinó. We did love it! Even the rain was threatening the tour. Later on got clear and we started this wonderful tour through the amazing Gothic Quarter Andriy was patient and kind. His vast knowledge of the site was priceless. We did learn a lot and enjoyed much more. But get prepare to walk for more than 2 hours. We loved it! Thank you
