David fue un guía excepcional. Aprendí muchísimo, y las calles e historia son un sueño. Me gustaría sugerir que los guías contarán con alguna forma de pagarles con tarjeta de crédito, lastimosamente contaba con muy poco efectivo y no me fue posible remunerar la labor de David como se lo merecía Translate this opinion into English.

David was an exceptional guide. I learned so much, and the streets and history are a dream. I'd like to suggest that the guides offer a way to pay by credit card. Unfortunately, I had very little cash and couldn't compensate David for his work as he deserved. Opinion translated. Show original.

La guia una genia. Impresionante que sepa tanto de todo. El recorrido fue muy ameno, se extendio un poquito mas de lo que decia el horario por esto mismo. No solo nos hablo de arquitectura e historia sino que despues nos dio tips personalizados de a donde ir a comer. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was a genius. It's impressive how knowledgeable she is about everything. The tour was very enjoyable, even extending a little longer than the schedule indicated for this very reason. Not only did she talk to us about architecture and history, but she also gave us personalized tips on where to go for lunch. Opinion translated. Show original.

Solo normal. Uno de los guias con malas formas nos comfirmo que teniamos que pagar minino 15€ por persona. Cosa que yo no he leido en su pagina. Ya que ustedes aconsejan de 10 a 15€. Habiendo realizados bastantes free tour con ustedes, esta vez que quedado bastante descontenta. Un saludo

Just normal. One of the rude guides confirmed that we had to pay a minimum of €15 per person. Something I didn't read on your website. You recommend between €10 and €15. Having taken quite a few free tours with you, I was quite disappointed this time. Best regards.

Los guías suelen hacer recomendaciones sobre las aportaciones a realizar, intentando que se alcance el mínimo esperable por persona. Aun así, no es obligatorio dar ningún importe en concreto. Sentimos las molestias. Translate this opinion into English.

The guides usually make recommendations on contributions, aiming to reach the minimum per person. However, it's not mandatory to give any specific amount. We apologize for any inconvenience. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad estuvo muy bien. Tuvimos mucha suerte con la guía, que hizo del tour una actividad muy amena y bien explicada. Sin embargo, la organización en la llegada fue bastante mejorable. Éramos mucha gente y empezamos el tour con media hora de retraso, lo que hizo que no pudiéramos acabarla. A pesar de ello, merece la pena (aunque recomiendo ir sin prisas). Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was very good. We were very lucky with the guide, who made the tour very enjoyable and well-explained. However, the organization upon arrival could have been significantly improved. There were a lot of people and we started the tour half an hour late, which meant we couldn't finish it. Despite this, it's worth it (although I recommend taking your time). Opinion translated.

Muy bien y súper interesante. Manuela nos contó muchos detalles históricos de Barcelona que hicieron el recorrido mucho más interesante. Además nos recomendó buenos sitios para comer algo. De hecho, comimos en un restaurante magnífico de la Barceloneta que ella nos había dicho. Súper encomendable Manuela. Translate this opinion into English.

La ciudad es hermosa para ver y recorrer en sus partes históricas. Lástima que nos corrió la lluvia antes de terminar, pero Jules (nuestro guía) lo hizo muy entretenido y con mucha info sobre la historia de la ciudad. Además nos ayudó a cubrirnos y nos guió con la mejor buena onda. Translate this opinion into English.

The city is beautiful to see and explore its historic sites. It's a shame it started raining before we finished, but Jules (our guide) made it very entertaining and provided a wealth of information about the city's history. He also helped us cover up and guided us with the best of vibes. Opinion translated. Show original.

Laura una guía "bárbara". Conoce muy bien la historia de Barcelona. El tiempo del tour se pasó muy rápido gracias a las explicaciones claras y amenas de Laura. Está pendiente todo el tiempo del grupo. El audio-guía funciona muy bien. No habíamos tomado un tour con Civitatis, muy cumplidos y organizados. Tomaremos otros más durante nuestra estancia en España. Translate this opinion into English.

Laura was a fantastic guide. She knows Barcelona's history very well. The tour time passed very quickly thanks to Laura's clear and engaging explanations. She was attentive to the group at all times. The audio guide worked very well. We hadn't taken a tour with Civitatis before, and they were very efficient and organized. We will take more during our stay in Spain. Opinion translated.

Fenomenal. Cumplió mis expectativas con creces. Cristian, el guía de sobresaliente. Además ahora es con audio guía. Un casco y se escucha perfectamente todas las explicaciones y anécdotas del guía. Centrada en el barrio Gótico, dura algo más de dos horas, pero para nada se hace largo. Muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Phenomenal. It more than met my expectations. Cristian, the guide, was outstanding. Plus, now it comes with an audio guide. A headset allows you to perfectly hear all the guide's explanations and anecdotes. Focused on the Gothic Quarter, it lasts just over two hours, but it doesn't feel long at all. Highly recommended.

Tour por el Barrio Gótico. Lo mejor fue el guía Albert García, muy entusiasta y sabía captar la atención de todos nosotros. Hizo el tour muy ameno e informativo y se nos pasó muy rápido precisamente por lo mucho que estábamos disfrutando sus explicaciones. Mucho rigor histórico, se nota que le gusta lo que hace. Todas mis estrellas van para Albert. Translate this opinion into English.

Tour of the Gothic Quarter. The best part was our guide, Albert García, who was very enthusiastic and knew how to capture everyone's attention. He made the tour very enjoyable and informative, and it flew by precisely because we were so enjoying his explanations. He was very historically accurate; you can tell he loves what he does. All my stars go to Albert. Opinion translated. Show original.

Franc un super guia! Divertido, buenas explicaciones. Muy correcto y pendiente de todos sobretodo de la gente mayor. Es uno de los mejores guias. Solo queria preguntar porque no se hacen tours en catalan? Estamos en catalunya y estaria bien que igusl que se hace con otras lenguas tambien se incluiera la del pais que es el catalan. Muchas gracias. Translate this opinion into English.

Franc is a super guide! Fun, with good explanations. Very polite and attentive to everyone, especially the older guests. He's one of the best guides. I just wanted to ask why tours aren't offered in Catalan? We're in Catalonia, and it would be nice if, just as tours are offered in other languages, the country's language, Catalan, were also included. Thank you very much. Opinion translated.

Hice el Free Tour de Barcelona con el guía Martín y fue una experiencia fantástica. Su profesionalismo, simpatía y amor por la historia se notan desde el primer momento; se nota que es un apasionado de su trabajo. En dos horas pudimos conocer la historia de Barcelona y sus principales barrios de manera muy amena y cómoda. Me pareció muy útil que proporcionen auriculares (alquiler 1,5 €), que permiten escuchar toda la explicación sin problemas, incluso con el ruido de la ciudad. Recomiendo 100%! Translate this opinion into English.

I took the Barcelona Free Tour with my guide, Martín, and it was a fantastic experience. His professionalism, friendliness, and love of history are evident from the very first moment; you can tell he's passionate about his work. In two hours, we were able to learn about the history of Barcelona and its main neighborhoods in a very enjoyable and comfortable way. I found it very useful that they provide headphones (rental for €1.50), which allowed me to hear the entire explanation without any problems, even with the city noise. I highly recommend it!

Comenzó 15 minutos tarde y terminó 15 minutos tarde. Fue un tour con más historia e información que caminar como otros que he hecho con ustedes. Estaba demasiado centrado en lo gótico cuando no es lo que dice en la reseña cuando uno lo reserva. Al final me aburrió.

It started 15 minutes late and ended 15 minutes late. It was a tour with more history and information than walking like other tours I've done with you. It was too focused on the Gothic, when that's not what the description says when you book it. In the end, I was bored.

Superó mis expectativas, porque no fue un paseo superficial: el guía, Mariano, nos puso en contexto, nos habló de la historia y de la idiosincrasia barcelonesa para poder entender a fondo lo que veíamos en el Barrio Gótico, desterrando mitos. Es lindo cuando los guías son apasionados por lo que hacen y responden preguntas con genuina disposición y amplio conocimiento. Lo recomiendo muchísimo. Angie ️ Translate this opinion into English.
