Civil War Free Walking Tours in Barcelona

loved this tour Chrisa is an incredibly talented lecturer

Giannis was a very knowledgeable tour guide, he managed to convey to us the history and images surrounding the Spanish Civil War in a very lively and direct way, with a lot of humor. Thanks Yannis!!

This tour was very interesting, a lot of insight into the different factions in the Spanish civil war, how the war started and was wage. I really appreciated Onno's insight.

Miguel is very passionate and knowledgeable about the topic. We followed an interesting route where he could bring it to life. He was excellent about answering questions and explaining background information that I did not know. If you are looking for an indepth dive into the revolution and anarchism in Barcelona this is an incredibly interesting and well done tour.

Excellent walking tour with Onno! He's a great story teller and the level of detail was perfect for someone who wants to understand more about this particular episode in the country's history. Highly recommended!

An informative experience!

Excellent tour. Very well informed guide who communicated in a clear and interesting way.

Good factual information well delivered, tour was structured well with good visuals also to enhance the experience. ☘️

Passionate historian focused mostly on civil war and less on Franco’s reign. Highly informative and engaging. 2:30-2:45

El tour con Miguel fue muy interesante y emocionante al mismo tiempo, porque a través de los monumentos de la ciudad logramos adentrarnos en el contexto social de la época medieval, pero también de los siglos XIX y XX, descubriendo una parte importante de la historia feminista, socialista y anarquista. Es un tour que definiría como anticonvencional, ya que te permite descubrir aspectos de la ciudad que como turista normalmente no logras captar. Por eso lo recomiendo totalmente si quieres ver Barcelona desde otra perspectiva.

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.
