Gran Tour. Diferente y muy interesante

La historia de Barcelona es la pasión de Joaquín, y se nota.. Este tour es el resultado de muchas horas de investigación. Destacaría la originalidad de las cosas que Joaquín cuenta, nada de generalidades ni historias manidas, al contrario, detalles desconocidos e interesantes de esta ciudad con tan rica historia. Joaquín se adapta al ritmo de su audiencia y transmite esa pasión en cada una de las anécdotas que cuenta,

Un tour sin tiempo para aburrirse

Un tour lleno de curiosidades del Barrio Gótico. Un montón de historias de todo tipo que se suceden casi sin descanso. El guía muy agradable y muy bien documentado. ¡Recomendamos sin duda este tour!

Un tour sorprendente

El tour hace honor a su título. Joaquín, el guía, nos ha dicho que nosotros éramos los primeros en hacer este tour, pero realmente parece que lleve mucho tiempo haciéndolo. Nos ha explicado mil historias y cosas curiosas sobre nuestra ciudad que desconocíamoes, a pesar de ser barceloneses. El timepo ha pasado volando. Un tour realmente divertido y recomendable.
