Civil War Free Walking Tours in Barcelona

I have been on a fair few tours, but Miguel's is hands down the best! Through the unique lens of anarchism, Miguel told a comprehensive history of Barcelona (accompanied through an engaging regale of its story, pictures and insightful answers to my various questions!). The passion Miguel had for Barcelona's anarchist history kept me engaged from start to finish, so much so when I went to Museum of the History of Catalonia the next day I was already familiar with at least more than half of the info decks! The easiest 5 stars I've given. Keep up the good work, Miguel :)

Miguel is very passionate and extremely knowledgeable about his subject, we went to places we didn’t know, his tour was over 2 hours and he has a nice deme out. We enjoyed it

Chrissa is very informative and very invested in the tour. She had some great stories about the war that really added to the overall experience. She also provided many pictures and maps to help explain things.

Very informative, thought provoking and well told. Guide is super knowledgable but can seem like he’s in a bad mood, maybe it’s just the heavy subject but feels like he doesn’t like giving this tour.

Chrisa is incredibly passionate about history, and she explained everything in such a clear and structured way that you quickly gain a solid grasp of that period. The tour was both informative and fun, I enjoyed it so much. Chrisa also mentioned that she does oral history work as well, which I find truly meaningful - remember, not forget.

The tour was well rounded and packed full of information and detail. It gives an important insight into how the city developed and what influences it to this day. Also we are a very curious group and Miguel was very accommodating, patient and answered every question. Time flu by, thanks Miguel!

Evan is both an excellent historian and a brilliant communicator. As a guide to the history of the Spanish Civil War in Barcelona in particular and in Spain more generally, we couldn't have wished for better. A thoroughly absorbing and often moving excursion whose cast of characters from a time of national trauma have stayed with me.

Thank you Chryssa! It was soon good.

Very informative and interesting. Evan was quite knowledgeable and provided good context for the tour and historical events.

El tour con Evan fue excelente! MUY informativo, entretenido y lleno de contenido, pero explicado de una forma clara y ligera. Aprendí muchísimo sin que se hiciera pesado. En un momento del mundo como este, estos recordatorios de la historia son más necesarios que nunca. Super recomendable! The tour with Evan was excellent! informative, engaging, and full of content, yet explained in a clear and light way. I learned a lot without it ever feeling heavy. In times like these, reminders of history are more important than ever. Highly recommended!

Fascinating history of the Spanish Civil War and the role Barcelona played. Henrieta is very well informed and personable. I would definitely choose her for another tour.

It was a fascinating and eye opening tour., delivered with a lot or knowledge and passion

Aprendimos mucho sobre la historia de España, Javier tenía mucha información y se notaba la pasión y el conocimiento del tema. Nos gustó mucho y lo recomendamos altamente! Gran experiencia.

Full of information. Chryssa was great!

Miguel provided a very informative tour of the small and grand places of social emancipation in Barcelona with links to international history. The tour really profited from his extensive research into feminist and working class history and contemporary social movements. I also found it very pleasant to have some nice chats during the tour. If you are looking for a tour outside the trotten paths, are interested to hear about the good, the bad and the ugly of Barcelona and how people tried to improve their lives through a centuries of strive, this is the tour for you. Along the way were several quiet spots that are also very well suited for resting tired feet within a few meters of central spots, like the Placa da Catalunya. A real gem of a guided tour.

The Franco & Spanish Civil War tour is not to be missed. Highly recommend. The very professional and knowledgeable guide detailed all aspects of the war were discussed. Also included the how the Catholic Church at the time influenced the Spanish. We saw many sites within short walking distances.

Amazing experience to learn valuable pieces of information about the anarchist revolution and the catalan social movements. Miguel was both incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He also was really generous with his time, answering our questions with precision and wit. One of my favorite tour ever!

Our guide Yannis, was absolutely fabulous. We’ve taken Guru walks all over Europe and parts of Asia and he was one of the best we’ve experienced

Really interesting learning about a different side of Barcelona's history. Miguel is very knowledgeable and passionate about this subject :)

Giannis was very well prepared! Great quality of information and enjoy full presentation!

Interesting tour , if you are a history buff has a lot to offer . If u have a leftist mindset , some of the things said will be music to your ears , if not prepare to endure a leftist attack :)

Yannis did an exceptional great job explaining a very difficult and touchy subject, the Spanish civil war and dictatorship under Franco.

Super Tour Yannick brennt für dieses Thema. Sehr eloquent, informativ und unterhaltsam. Er scheut auch nicht davor zurück, komplexere Zusammenhänge zu erläutern.

Henrieta did an excellent guided tour! She was nice, friendly, and very well-informed, with deep knowledge of the topic. Her rhetoric was very good, and we were very pleased to listen to her and follow her through history.

Evan war toll und hat ein super Wissen über die spanische Geschichte - mit interessantem Hintergrundwissen war die Tour sehr spannend
