Gothic Quarter & Born - a journey through Time
Hello! My name is Pablo, I am a journalist and a passionate tour guide with more than 7 years of experience. Like you, I am also an avid traveler; I have traveled more than 50 countries and lived on 3 Continents, until Barcelona finally caught me. After the experience of the Pandemic, I realized that I had to change the important things in life and dedicate to what I was passionate about. Gilligans is a project with a group of guides from all over the World who also fell in love with Barcelona. We are now Walking Tours and Pub Crawl experts. We take fun very seriously at Gilligans, we are passionate about exceeding expectations and creating moments that matter for our guests. Every day we are energized by our love for travel, the people and this wonderful World. Join us!

Our tour guide,Sean, was not only a wealth of historical intel, he is also a great storyteller. I leaned in for every tale he told. My husband and i loved the tour. It was well planned, easy to follow and enjoyable - even in the heatwave. Thank you Sean and the Gilligans crew.

It was very interesting, a bit short, less than 2 hours, but our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It was nice to have a Russian option as well. Well done! Thank you, Darya.
