Gothic Quarter & Montjuic Tours - Back-To-Back Days!P4188IRbenc
Maria provided such a wonderful tour of the Gothic Quarter with Kids yesterday that we couldn't help but book her services again for today! This second time she showed us around Montjuic with a cable car ride. We all agreed it was another fantastic tour and we learned a lot along the way! Icing on the cake is that she can provide fantastic local restaurant and day trip recommendations.

Montjuic and Cable Car TourWilliam_S
This is a private tour not a Group tour. Our Guide was very friendly wanting to provide a very good tour which she did. She was passionate about her city and its history and very well informed and current. She was very attentive to our situation being in our 70’s and the day being very hot. We highly recommend this tour
Great tour with Maria in BarcelonahelensG4696KH
Maria is the best! Traveling alone and with very limited Spanish I was worried about the success of my trip until I met Maria. Not only was she very informative during my Viator Montjuic tour she was concerned about helping me make the rest of my time in Barcelona fantastic. Her
knowledge of the history of the city was excellent even in the small details. I would highly recommend a tour with Maria!
Nice tour of a different part of the city Christopher_F
It was interesting tour of the site. The tour guide, Maria was very friendly and engaging. It would have been nice to go inside the castle, also several of the stops were unexpectedly closed, which was disappointing.
Nice view and different perspective from the cityE4301QMvictore
So nice to get to know this green area and different perspective from the city.
Montjuic With MariaOdyssey102563
I had an incredible experience visiting Montjuic and a huge part of that was thanks to my guide, Maria. From the start, she was organized, friendly, and clearly passionate about the history and culture of the region.
Throughout the tour, she shared fascinating insights about the mountain. What stood out most was her ability to balance storytelling with practical guidance—making sure we had enough time to explore, and never felt rushed.
If you’re planning a trip to Montjuic, I highly recommend going with a knowledgeable guide like Maria —it truly makes a difference and turns a beautiful day into a memorable, meaningful experience.
Beautiful memories with the kidsmariasL9928PQ
We took the tour to the top of Montjuic and my children absolutely loved it. Although there was a bit of walking involved, it was very enjoyable and the place is gorgeous.
Excellent experience!X1048ETraya
Beautiful Montjuic. The guide was incredible, providing many good insights and valuable recommendations to enjoy Barcelona. Recommended!
The best views of the city!Excursion66127606924
We took this tour after meeting Maria, on a 3-hour tour of downtown Barcelona. We loved the Montjuic mountain and all its history. The views are spectacular.
Unforgettable experience864paolah
Maria is a great guide; we took two tours with her, and the experience was incredible. She responded quickly when we arrived at the meeting point. She has extensive knowledge of the history of the sites. Finally, she made a reservation for us at a typical Catalan restaurant, which was the perfect conclusion to our trip.
I recommend it 100%.
It is the second tour we did with Maria, we are a group of elderly people, and we loved the spectacular views and the guide very friendly and attentive to our needs and pace.
Nice experience with very beautiful views and places.javierav229

Barcelona in the experience of a localjos_pedroa2026
I had come many times to Barcelona, but I had never had the opportunity to visit Montjuïc and I really loved it. The cable car ride had breathtaking views and I was surprised by the legacy of the '92 Olympics, which I didn’t expect at all. Maria was a great guide, very close and full of curiosities that made the tour very entertaining.
Fun, lots of anecdotes and curiositiesAnacovadonga
Fully recommended!
I did the tour of Montjuïc and loved it. The views are stunning.
Maria was a great guide, telling us stories and curiosities that really make the tour worthwhile.
I had a great time and recommend it, next time I will be accompanied so that my family can also enjoy it:)
