Free walking tours History in Barcelona

We were very fortunate to have a two person tour with Miguel. He was incredibly knowledgeable and presented the information on the tour in both an informative and highly engaging manner. We got to see parts of Barcelona we hadn’t already explored ourselves and from a very grounded and historical perspective. If you think you might be interested in this tour based on the subject matter, don’t hesitate to book!

The "other" Barcelona. A popular and alternative history of the city.

Es un tour muy recomendable para conocer la historia político social de Barcelona, la organización social y la luchas de la clase obrera, los orígenes de la. Semana trágica de Barcelona, de la CNT, como fue la guerra civil en Cataluña, etc. Más allà de su arquitectura, de Gaudí y del barrio gótico es bonito llevarse un poco de la historia alternativa y real de la gente que hizo la historia menos turistica

Jony’s tour was the best part of our trip! This was spectacular. He is brilliant and we learned so much. Thanks for this wonderful adventure!

Barcelona Jewish Quarter

Chrisa is a very knowledgeable guide. She presents a complicated history well and was easily able to answer all questions. She is easy to understand (excellent command of English and speaks very clearly). I learned a lot and highly recommend this tour.

Hicimos el free tour de la Guerra Civil en Barcelona y nos gustó mucho. Muchas gracias a Donato, nuestro guía, se notaba que sabe muchísimo sobre todo ese periodo y lo explicaba todo muy bien y con mucha claridad. Sin duda, muy recomendable!

Hicimos el tour de la guerra civil con David y nos encantó! El detalle y el conocimiento con el que hablaba nos hizo acercarnos a la comprensión de una etapa historica muy compleja (sobre todo aquí en BCN). Valoró las participaciones del resto del grupo, lo cual enriqueció aún más el recorrido. Nos sentimos muy agradecidos de que nos tocase como guía y le recomendaremos para las futuras visitas de familiares o amigos.

Henrieta was a brilliant tour guide! The content was very interesting and we were pleased to learn an industrial history of Barcelona that isn't often taught

The Spanish Civil War and Franco's dictatorship

El tour dedicado a la Guerra Civil en Barcelona de la mano de David ha sido un verdadero lujo. Ha sido un placer contar con un profesional como él con el que hemos repasado los principales acontecimientos y recorrido las diferentes huellas que el conflicto bélico ha dejado en la Ciudad Condal. Si te interesa esta temática, te lo recomiendo totalmente.

Great tour! We learned so much and the guide was kind enough to translate some information into English for the non-Spanish speakers in the group. Highly recommend for those who want to learn about the civil war and the popular workers movements that proceeded it.

Se nota que Miguel conoce Barcelona y el movimiento revolucionario anarquista obrero sindical y feminista en profundidad y como tal lo muestra de manera amena y con interés. Muchas gracias por la lección de historia Miguel.

Jony was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Jewish Quarter in Barcelona. He really brought the old city to life! He even helped us with finding kosher options in the city. We strongly recommend him as a tour guide!

Barcelona Jewish Quarter

Very informative tour in a private setting. Miguel is very passionate about Barcelona's history and has a lot to share about the origins of the Revolutionary movement and the evolution of socialism, anarchism and feminism in Barcelona. I learnt a lot today.
