Excellent. I learned a lot. Yannis’ explanations were very humanizing of the people who fought in this war.

Excellent Walking Tour

We have just returned from this fantastic walking tour! Onno, the tour guide, is so very personable, experienced, knowledgeable and extremely passionate in his delivery of the history of the Spanish Civil War. It was so easy to book and meet up at Plaça Catalunya. We walked with a very nice group of people from many varied countries which only added to the experience. If you are interested in this element of Spanish history, you will not be disappointed.

Overall a very enjoyable experience

Purchased the audio tour self guided. It sends you a ticket but no audio recording link. Too bad as there is no way to actually do the self guided tour. Rated 5 stars as I am hopeful someone will send me the audio link.

Onno was great! He was charming and provided important context. It was great to get history on this vital period of history that you don't find in any museums in Spain.

Great balance of information, knowledge and culture

If you like history you won’t regret this tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and even shared some very interesting reads of George Orwell related to the civil war.

Knowledgeable guide and valuable experience
