Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our guide Julia/Juliet (sorry my memory is bad) was amazing. She was so informative and fun. She paced the tour perfectly, she made it engaging and relevant for all the folks on the tour. It was the perfect introduction to Barcelona. She was so knowledgeable and fun and personable. I was sad when the day was over. It was also such a treat to skip all the long lines. The tour was just perfect. 5 stars out of 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fabulous tour. The guide Alex was very good. He brought alive the history of Barcelona and the works of Gaudi. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an introduction to history and architecture of Barcelona

Fabian was our tour guide and he did a good job. It was great not to have to wait in line for the Sagrada Familia. We covered a lot. Well worth it. The tour office was a bit hard to find. So give yourself extra time to find the check in as it is not well marked.

It was a trip of a lfetime for the entire family but the toilet facilities around Sagrada Familia were also rather limited and not well sign posted. Every church I know has plenty toilets inside and outside but this bit of detail appears to have escaped the great Ghaudi and all the other architects on that site. In fact should you spend any amount of time in the queue outside, you will have huge issues.
Also due to the amount nof walking on the entire tour we could not finish the last part of the trip around the Catedral de Barcelona, the kids were also just too tired. I hope by the time they complete construction of Sagrada Familia in 2026-28 the entire district around it would have been reconstructed allowing for a tourist bus parking area adjacent to the facility. Tourist buses are a reality around the facility, to expect them to park a KM away is unreasonable, what if you have disabled people and small children like we had?

We found this tour worth doing, but it was awkward as it was broken into two parts. The morning was more successful. It was a bit difficult to go somewhere for two hours and come back again. It made the day a bit long. The actual information was good and provided a taste of what one wanted to see again.

Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Unfortunately I cannot remember his name. The stops on the tour were all very interesting and worthwhile.

Nice to see all the sites, would have liked to stop at La Pedrera instead of just drive by it. Also would be great to include the entry to La Sagrada Familia.

My mother and I loved everything about our tour. Our guide, Alejandro (Alex), was charming, knowledgeable, engaging, attentive, and entertaining. The tour was the perfect way to start our Barcelona vacation. The only thing I would change is-- it would have been lovely if our guide could have joined us inside the Sagrada Familia.
Additionally, all of the staff at Explore Barcelona were welcoming and helpful. Anna, who was a guide for a different tour that day, provided us with delightful conversation as we awaited the start of our tour. More importantly, she recommended the restaurant 7 Portes as the perfect place for Paella-- she was right! Our lunch there was one of the highlights of our trip-- thank you Anna!
I will definitely book all my tours via Viator and recommend to all of my fellow travellers.
Bravo!

Outstanding! Excellent info provided. Antonia (I think that was her name), made the tour an easy path to understand the history of Catalonia, Spain. Without any doubts, I will take it again.

Great experience! Our tour leader shared her knowledge and combined markets/ bars and more formal tapas restaurants. Great variety and a very nice way to spend an evening out in Barcelona!

Great tour and value...We had Carlos from the "City" agency as our Guide, and he was excellent...Saw lots of sights and learned about some history that we would have never come across on our own...Would have been extra nice if the group was a little smaller, but that was pretty minor, mostly because they give earpiece amplifiers that worked very nicely...Tour lasted about 2 hours, which was just right.

It was an excellent one day overview of what should not be missed in Barcelona. It was actually two tours. The morning tour handled the Gothic quarter, walking the area, seeing the Roman ruins, churches, etc., then the more modern areas including the cable car to the mountain top and the Spanish Village. Not a lot of free time, but if you are only there for one day, enough for souvenirs. Then a two hour break for lunch on your own. After that, the second tour which was mostly Gaudi's works. The total tour gave us an excellent overview and some ideas on where we wanted to go the next day for individual exploring. The tour was done in multiple languages both times, but the guides seemed to treat all with an equal hand. The busses were clean, and checking in for the tour was easy. Overall, if you have never been in Barcelona, I would recommend this tour.

I was so looking forward to this tour as the Gothic Quarter is beautiful and the guide was lovely. Spoke very good English and explained the Catalun history and took us to parts where I wouldn't even knew existed if exploring on our own so well worth doing.
