El tour guiado por el Vizconde de Belalcázar es quizás la mejor experiencia que hemos tenido en Barcelona. Dedicación absoluta, cuidado a los detalles, detalles para los asistentes, respeto por la cultura y la tradición. Absolutamente maravillado con este recorrido. Lo recomiendo 100%.

Response from the owner:Hola Juan, muchas gracias por tus comentarios, son de mucho valor para nosotros. Nos alegramos mucho de saber que fue una experiencia memorable! Un saludo!!

The tour was phenomenal. Full of fascinating stories, legends, and historical details that brought the Gothic Quarter to life in a way you rarely experience.

Ignacio was an outstanding guide. He clearly put real effort into every part of the walk and managed to immerse us in the atmosphere of medieval Barcelona. Through his storytelling, you could feel how life in Spain evolved over the centuries, especially in this historic quarter.

The balance between mystery, history, and entertainment was spot on. The stories never felt exaggerated or forced, and the route revealed places and details you would easily miss on your own.

Highly recommended if you want more than a standard walking tour. This felt personal, engaging, and genuinely memorable.

Response from the owner:Hola Vasko, muchas gracias por tus palabras y comentarios, nos alegra mucho saber que ha sido una experiencia muy memorable!!!

Leyendas del Barrio gótico
Excelente tour, Ignacio es un guía fantástico, nos introdujo al corazón del barrio gótico y nos conectó con él por medio de sus leyendas. El tour dura dos horas y pese al frío, sentimos que se fue muy rápido el tiempo. Sin duda lo recomendamos ampliamente! Es una muy buena manera de conocer otra cara de Barcelona.
