Civil War Free Walking Tours in Barcelona

Evan was extremely knowledgeable and made a complex rich history engaging and accessible. From not knowing much about the Spanish civil war I now feel well informed and interested to learn more

We had an amazing time and Evan was very knowledgeable with all things history. We enjoyed the tour very much and would highly recommend it to all those even if you’re not into history. It was fascinating!

This tour offered a fascinating look at Barcelona’s Civil War history and the Franco era. Onno explained complex topics clearly and with balance, making the history both accessible and engaging. It was thought-provoking without being overwhelming, and I left with a much better understanding of this important part of Spain’s past. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history.

Henrietta guided us through a complex period in Barcelona's history with impressive professionalism, in-depth knowledge and sensitivity. She gave us a comprehensive insight into this era of history, always maintaining a good balance between information, entertainment and a sense of the human touch. I can only highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history!

It was a great tour to understand the history of the Spanish Civil War and see some places where important events took place and where you can see traces of some rarely known aspects of thjs part of spanish history. Thank you very much for this very interesting tour!

Such an interesting insight into a fascinating part of Spain’s history. Scraping beneath the surface.

Professional and Henrietta was extremely knowledgeable

Filipa new everything and more. It was the most complete tour I have ever done.

So much information and happy to field all kinds of questions. Respectfully navigated a difficult topic in an engaging way

Chrisa’s tour for the Spanish Revolution and Franco is a must. I won’t give it 5 stars for entertainment because it’s not that sort of walking tour, in view of the topic she had to cover. Definitely 5 stars for presentation, content and knowledge though. I definitely recommend it if you want to learn about the revolution and Franco.

This tour is very different. You get to learn about a dark era, but it's sooooooo important to hear and learn about the Spanish Civil War. Listen, absorb, learn and practise. I urge you to join this tour, especially with Chryssa, who's very passionate and knowledgeable.

Heaps of information - really enjoyed it!

Javier was a superb guide, giving an extremely knowledgeable, thorough and balanced account of the Spanish Civil War. Highly recommend.

Excellent immersive tour in the eye of the Spanish civil war. Javier was immensely knowledgeable and peppered his talk with humour whilst maintaining a professional approach.

Molto interessante e la guida coinvolgente

Our guide Javier was amazing. Knowledgeable and passionate. Absolutely worth it to go on a walk with him. We learned the basics of what the civil war was about, details on what each side was fighting for, and visited actual battle sites. Amazing!

Chrisa was fantastic, she’s so knowledgeable and brought the topic to life with visual aides, anecdotes and contextual information. I would definitely recommend this tour for those interested in Spanish history or history in general!

Our guide, Felipa, was outstanding. Her depth of knowledge was clear from the very beginning, and it is obvious she has spent years studying this subject, including writing dissertations on the Spanish Civil War and Franco’s dictatorship. What truly made the tour exceptional was her ability to take complex historical moments and turn them into powerful, human-centered stories. She made the history come alive by connecting it to the present and by weaving in the role of church and state, especially throughout the dictatorship. Her thoughtful approach helped us understand not only the facts, but also the emotional and cultural impact that still lingers in Spain today. Her storytelling was clear, passionate, and filled with nuance. It is rare to leave a tour feeling both intellectually enriched and emotionally moved. This experience did both. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand modern Spain through a deeper, more meaningful lens.

So informative!!! Super qualified guide! Thanks

Awesome tour, didn’t know anything about the Spanish civil war beforehand but I was still very much able to follow along. Thank you to Yannis, he was great and so knowledgeable

Amazing tour, a super engaging and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended

Filipa was a great guide!! She was very knowledgeable and I loved the personal stories she told.

Well-informed guide presenting historic events and frames them with his own perspective e.g. by relating it to what is happening today. Very recommendable!

This was a fantastic tour! The guide's ability to break down complex history into engaging, easy-to-understand bits was really impressive. Unfortunately, I missed getting his name, but I enjoyed the tour. The Spanish Civil War and Franco dictatorship are heavy topics – the tour guide had a binder full of pictures to help us picture what he was explaining. Well done!

Filipa our guide went above & beyond our expectations. Her knowledge was incredible and presented the tour with great passion on the history of the Spanish civil war. Easy to follow and understand. Highly recommend
