It helped to see the map of the ancient city and to connect it with the structures that are still standing. It also helped us to understand the current feelings of the Catalonian people by seeing their history.

Elvira is the best!!! She knows so much about the history of Barcelona, and is beyond kind. She took us to all the important stops but also showed us areas of the city that we wouldn’t have found on our own. Wonderful evening!!

The tour with Denis through the Gothic quarter was fun and very interesting. He told me a lot about the history and also the upcoming Events. Denis is easy to get in contact with and not only gives you the historic facts but always has a story about life at that time which makes the tour very lively and fun. He loves Barcelona and he is able to share that with you. I enjoyed the tour very much!
