Barcelona Old Town Walking Tour and Harbor Boat Trip With Stephanie - We did the Barcelona Old Town Walking Tour and Harbor Boat Trip on March 24. For some reason, the tour was booked as the Barcelona Old Town & Gothic Quarter Small Group Tour. As far as I can tell, these two tours are the same, except that the former (the one that we took) also has a boat trip to the harbor / beachfront after the Old Town Walking Tour is done. Please check carefully when you book. Anyway, there were three of us (myself, my wife, and our adult daughter). Our guide was Stephanie. We really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it. Barcelona itself is beautiful, especially the Old Town and Gothic Quarter. But a big part of what made this experience great was Stephanie. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate. She brought her own perspective into the tour. This came from her background in architecture and from growing up in both France and Spain. She also connected Barcelona’s history to bigger themes. This included the Roman Empire, other parts of Europe, the World Wars, and the Franco era. That made the tour much more interesting. We also did the newer extension to the harbor. We were the only ones who signed up for it and among the first to try it. It was a nice addition, though it felt a bit different from the Old Town portion. It included a walk along the waterfront near the Columbus statue and a short boat ride back toward the beachfront near the W Hotel. If you have extra time and energy, it is worth adding.

Fantastic walking tour! - Stefania was an incredible guide! Her knowledge of Barcelona's hidden gem and the enthusiasm with which she conveyed it brought the city to life in a way I didn't appreciate before. I can't recommend the walking tour enough, but I strongly advise people to skip the boat tour because it's just a short trip across the docks.
