Don't skip this tour with Julianna, it's a must do!! - I booked this tour back in June 2024 for April 2025 and never had a problem with a change of time, date, or anything else. I received notification more than 24 hours prior by Julianna, with complete instructions on where to meet her and what she would be wearing. Upon my arrival she was already there and let me and my partner know that we were her only clients and started immediately. I was a little nervous because I typically don't like talking or communicating with someone for 2 to 3 hours without knowing them, which is why i booked a group tour rather than a private one. But let me tell you, Julianna was no stranger! She was well spoken, full of energy, and very kind spirited. More so, this lady is extremely knowledgeable and knows her stuff about Barcelona! I had other tours scheduled later for the day, as well the next day, one of which was the Cathedral 2 hours afterwards. Because of Julianna, I was able to walk in and have knowledge on who some of individuals with shrines there were, to even include why there are 13 Geese living there n the church. I won't spoil the tour and provide the reveal, but be ready to be in awe with all the information she will be able to provide you with. In addition we got to sample some amazing chocolates, of which she gave us ample time to shop around and purchase some for ourselves to take home, as well as she took us to a local eatery that we would not have ever thought to walk into on our own. Absolutely the best sangria's, tapas, olives, paella, and much more that weve had so far during our stay! Make sure you dont skip going to Pasa Tapas Barceloneta, you can see and try it for yourselves! I promise I didn't get paid to write this for her, nor did she bribe me in anyway but Julianna is definitely the best guide for anyone who is actually interested in learning about Barcelona, its' history, and the culture of the area! 10 out of 10, would recommend her tour to anyone and everyone that has the time to do it!

Interesting stories! Learned so much. - We had a great time on this tour and learned about things not mentioned during our other tours. Andrea has lived in Barcelona 24 years and really seemed to know so much! Can’t believe how much we saw in such a short time.

An of the beaten path, insightful and thoroughly informative tour. - Juliana's tour was the highlight of my stay in Barcelona. Highly recommend this. And great classical homemade Sangria to quench the thirst, after a very insightful walk through the meandering alleys of the Gotic quarters.

Unique tour that is fun and educational - I highly recommend this tour. Juliana is an excellent guide. She has a unique tour that brings you to hidden gems of the Gothic quarter in a fun and interesting way. You will learn things that people who live here even don't know.

Great experience! - Although there were only two of us, our tour guide provided us with all the detailed history of Barcelona, from BC 100 to present. A great experience!

Great tour with some very interesting "secrets". - We lucked out! We ended up with a private tour for just my husband and I. Juliana was a great guide. She was knowledgeable, and we were able to have actual discussions about what we were seeing instead of just hearing someone's rehearsed script. Juliana gave us enough time to get photos of everything we wanted instead of hurrying us along as some tour guides do. Great tour with some very interesting "secrets".

Book with Juliette! - Juliette was great and very informative! Would suggest everybody to take this tour, she’s very knowledgeable and we would have never learned the history of the gothic quarter walking alone!
