Would have been better with more people. Michael needed questions to keep the conversation going. We walked around in circles and should start with the oldest to the newest. A lot of walking and not much undiscovered items. Good basis to start Barcelona but would have liked more history.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
I'm sorry to hear that you were not completely happy with the tour. As you booked a private tour, there were no other participants—this format is designed to allow for a highly interactive and personalized experience. It’s quite normal for our private tours to involve a balance of guiding and dialogue, where guests are encouraged to ask questions and engage with the guide. We find that this makes for a much richer and more memorable experience. The tour itself is centered around Barcelona’s fascinating history in all its many facets. It follows a carefully crafted and proven setup that Michael and I have developed and refined over the course of delivering hundreds of tours. The route is designed not just to follow a timeline, but to tell the story of the city through its neighborhoods, architecture, and hidden layers that many visitors would otherwise miss. Michael is a very experienced guide, and his goal is always to offer an insightful, engaging, and historically grounded experience. I’m sorry if the format wasn’t quite what you expected, but we truly believe in the value and depth of what we offer. Kind regards, Christian
Outstanding tour

Christians guided tour took us to hidden places we would have never seen exploring the city on our own. His explanations were perfect and absolutely interesting. We enjoyed having a short break on one of the quiet wonderful plazas, drinking a beer and talking about this and that. In the evening we had dinner in one of the restaurants, Christian recommended, it was great. Many thanks for this wonderful experience.

We went on the tour with Christian through the winding alleys of the old town. It was more like a walk with a friend - great conversations, lots of explanations and stories. The time flew by. Thank you very much for letting us experience Barcelona and its alleys like this, we will remember it.
Great tour through the city center of Barcelona
