Experiencing the Gothic and Roman history of Barcelona first-hand with Gloria was a highlight of our stay! If you love history and winding through the picturesque neighborhoods of a new city, this tour is for you. Not only did Gloria share engaging insights about Barcelona’s cultural, architectural, and global history, she also pointed out great recommendations for additional museum and historical visits that interested our group (and gave us fantastic recommendations for local paella and churros and chocolate!). Highly recommend adding this adventure to your Barcelona itinerary!

We had a wonderful several hours on this tour. The walking tour was very informative and provided so much history! Highly recommended! At the conclusion, we were dropped off at a great place to sample some local paella! After lunch, and easy walk back to our hotel!

Gloria was a great tour guide. What a wonderful walking tour. Our flight from the US was delayed over 2 hours and traffic was awful to get to our hotel. Gloria waited patiently for us at the hotel lobby and still gave us her full time and attention.

We had a great walking tour through the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona with Gloria. It was a perfect pace with my parents and Gloria made sure to check on everyone throughout the tour. Thank you!

This was THE BEST way to spend our first day in Barcelona, getting oriented to the layout and especially history of the city. Could not have enjoyed it more... and perfectly set the stage for the rest of our trip!

The "Roman and Medieval Barcelona - Best Walking Private Tour: The Gothic Quarter" was outstanding. A stroll through 2000 years of history, with our guide Gloria, was a memorable journey back in time. Gloria's knowledge of the city's history, passion, and insights into the Roman and Medieval periods, along with her personal anecdotes, made the tour unique. The Gothic Quarter's rich history and architecture were impressive. I highly recommend this tour and Gloria as a guide.
