Love a cemetery tour, and this one delivered! - We try to visit interesting cemeteries when we can find them, and I wanted to visit a family site here, anyway, so we were excited that there was a tour. Our guide, Onno, was personable, relatable and friendly. We were the only ones on the tour that day, so it was effectively a private tour. It was a beautiful day with a steady breeze off the water, but I recommend bringing some water to drink, as the sun can be a little intense. We worked out way down from the top, which I liked, since the monuments get more grandiose as you go down to the bottom, instead of sort of petering out if you went upwards. Many interesting stories, and Onno has clearly spent some time getting to know the relevant history (where it is possible to know it, anyway). The views are spectacular, and it's a nice, quiet break from busier sites in the city. After the tour, we chose to take a taxi up to Fundació Joan Miró, which is not far, and fit in well with our day.

Excellent tour - Excellent walking tour around the various tombs of interest. It was great to hear about the history and quirkiness of some of the tombs. Easy access too and amazing guide! Thanks Onno!

A rich and adventurous experience! - 5/5 It turned out to be one of the most memorable parts of my trip.Onno‘s storytelling was incredibly engaging, and the whole experience was much richer and more fascinating than I imagined. What surprised me most was encountering the graves of people I had learned about earlier during my sightseeing—it felt like a thoughtful callback that tied everything together. Cemetery is such a underrated place to learn about one culture! Highly recommended!

A city that is quiet and full of lively stories - We loved hearing more about the stories behind the type of graves, the people who deceased and why such decorations or sculptures were chosen. We took many photos as we also are funeral photographers in the Netherlands. Met 8 afscheidsfotografen uit Nederland waren we hier op een soort studiereis. Zo maken we ook prachtige blogs over wat we zagen.

The Angels of Montjuic, Barcelona. - How special to visit this cemetery under the inspiring guide @Onno Schoemaker. So much beauty, so much old, so many Angels, so many impressions. Big, bigger, grotesque... apartment blocks full of graves. But also beautiful graves with beautiful ornaments. From famous Catalan to Mafioso..... Thanks to our guide Onno, for a great tour of this immense cemetery. @Fred's Eye Photography, Afscheidsfotograaf, Holland.

The solution points to the sky. - Man man man if it is the case that you are going to do a tour in cultural Barcelona !! then you really should do the Hillside Cemetery Tour - Angels, Gothic Graves, Views & Vistas. I was there with a group of 8 Farewell photographers to see what death does there. Well that's a very big difference from here, so you see that for them the solution is in burial at altitude to be able to guarantee a multimillion city like Barcelona has more than 1.7 million inhabitants. The Tour over the cemetery plate makes your mouth drop Ono the tour guide gave us a two-hour tour! with special stories about various familial graves. from poor to super rich .So definitely do it!

How special and overwhelming the graves are. - We had a wonderful tour of a very beautiful cemetery from Onno. Onno and a Dutch man who spoke very quietly and clearly english where by it was very easy to follow. He told it in a fun, spontaneous way and the icing on the cake the AI videos. Thank you so much Onno
