Aunque el tour no empezó puntual debido a la organización de los grupos, disfrutamos con la explicación de los grandes artistas y obras de la ciudad de Barcelona. Cómo inconveniente solo diría que el auricular que proporcionan para seguir la explicación es un poco incómodo. Translate this opinion into English.

Although the tour did not start on time due to the organization of the groups, we enjoyed the explanation of the great artists and works of the city of Barcelona. As an inconvenience, I would only say that the headset they provide to follow the explanation is a little uncomfortable. Opinion translated. Show original.

This activity was amazing to me. Alessio, is very well knowledgeable in the matter, I enjoyed the way he explained and immerse us in the tour. Very dynamic as I was able to ask questions that came Up while taking the tour. I highly encourage anyone to take this tour with Alessio, as you can tell how passionate he is in sharing his knowledge. Honestly, the price is invaluable for all that knowledge you take home. Thank you :)

Tour muy interesante sobre el origen y desarrollo del modernismo que envolvió a Barcelona desde finales del s. XIX y que hicieron de la ciudad un lugar con carácter único. Nuestro guía Jules fue muy simpático, atento y con dominio sobre el tema. Hizo una explicación muy amena sobre el contexto histórico, pensamiento de la época y los detalles propios de la arquitectura. Muy recomendable! Como amante de la historia, considero imprescindible el tour para entender la esencia artística de Barcelona. Translate this opinion into English.

Very interesting tour about the origin and development of modernism that enveloped Barcelona from the end of the 19th century. XIX and that made the city a place with unique character.

As a history lover, I consider the tour essential to understand the artistic essence of Barcelona. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy buena y completa la información que nos proporcionó el guía, realmente conocía la ciudad, se conoce un poquito del gran Gaudí y nos quedamos con ganas de conocer más. La primera mirada a obra maestra de Gaudi fue impactante y conocer cada detalle de la Sagrada Familia hizo que la admiración por este magnifico artista se vaya al cielo, realmente su concepción de arte es fascinante. Tour obligado. Translate this opinion into English.

The information that the guide provided us was very good and complete, he really knew the city, we know a little about the great Gaudí and we were left wanting to know more. The first look at Gaudi's masterpiece was shocking and knowing every detail of the Sagrada Familia made the admiration for this magnificent artist go to heaven, his conception of art is truly fascinating.

Marc fue un excelente guía, muy divertido, amable y con un millón de anécdotas y datos interesantes/ curiosos a lo largo de esta ruta los cuales siempre habían pasado desapercibidos para mí que tengo muchísimos años viviendo en esta ciudad. Por eso recomiendo hacer Civitatis incluso en las ciudades donde uno vive pues siempre se aprenden cosas chéveres para, como decía Marc, contárselas a nuestros hijos y amigos. Nos recomendó ir luego al Palau Güell y la verdad fue un acierto, es una gran obra! Translate this opinion into English.

Marc was an excellent guide, very fun, friendly and with a million anecdotes and interesting/curious facts along this route which had always gone unnoticed by me who has lived in this city for many years. That's why I recommend doing Civitatis even in the cities where you live because you always learn cool things to, as Marc said, tell them to your children and friends. He recommended that we then go to the Palau Güell and the truth was that it was a success, it is a great work! Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente es quedarse corto. Hicimos el tour de las 16 hs., el 1/4/24, con Martín. Un guía con pasión por lo que hace y por Gaudi, que te lleva a descubrir y conocer muchos detalles. Un tour absolutamente recomendable para poder entrar en Casa Batlló y la Sagrada Familia con mucha información. No se lo pierdan Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent is an understatement. We did the 4pm tour, on 4/1/24, with Martín. A guide with passion for what he does and for Gaudi, who takes you to discover and learn many details.

Nos fue muy bien! solamente se demoro más del tiempo que estaba asignado y nos tuvimos que retirar antes. Nos hubiera gustado que las explicaciones fueran más reducidas para no sentir la presión del tiempo y no cansarnos al estar parados escuchando. Translate this opinion into English.

It went very well! It just took longer than the allotted time and we had to leave early. We would have liked the explanations to be shorter so as not to feel the pressure of time and not get tired standing and listening. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía llegó a tiempo, amable, explicó las características de las casas más emblemáticas del passeig de gracia, el tour se divide en dos partes la primera ir de plaza Cataluña al passeig de gracia y la segunda ir a la Sagrada Familia. No me gustó mucho, porque la primera parte es muy corta, y no vale la pena hacer el tour si ya has hecho Sagrada Familia, ya que tienes que pagar 1€ por el audífono, y más de 5€ por el tour para el guía y para poco tiempo no renta.

The guide arrived on time, friendly, explained the characteristics of the most emblematic houses of the Passeig de Gracia, the tour is divided into two parts, the first going from Plaza Cataluña to the Passeig de Gracia and the second going to the Sagrada Familia. I didn't like it very much, because the first part is very short, and it is not worth doing the tour if you have already done Sagrada Familia, since you have to pay €1 for the hearing aid, and more than €5 for the tour for the guide and for a short time it does not rent.

Enjoyed the tour conducted in English by Mick from Barkeno travels. Just the right level of detail, with enough humour and wit to keep it from slipping into a trudge. The whole group became quite comfortable asking questions by the end of the tour, wish we had asked much more from the start. But no regrets! The weather too was on our side!

A proposta do free tour é ótima. O guia Marc tem muito conhecimento e boa vontade. Fala muito rápido, e com isso, perdemos um pouco da compreensão. Foi um pouco cansativo pela distância que andamos e, no final, ao chegar na Sagrada Família, por volta de 14:00 (o tour começou às 11:00), estávamos bem cansados e com vontade de ir ao banheiro, o que prejudicou nosso interesse. Então, minha sugestão é calibrar melhor o tempo ou fazer uma parada para banheiros, pelo menos. Translate this opinion into English.

The free tour proposal is great. The guide Marc has a lot of knowledge and goodwill. He speaks very quickly, and as a result, we lose some understanding. It was a little tiring due to the distance we walked and, in the end, upon arriving at Sagrada Família, around 2:00 pm (the tour started at 11:00 am), we were very tired and wanted to go to the bathroom, which affected our interest. So, my suggestion is to calibrate the time better or make a bathroom stop, at least. Opinion translated. Show original.
