Civil War Free Walking Tours in Barcelona

Very good guide. Not enough stops. A lot of information. Too much standing in one place and not enough walking

This was a five-star tour, but learning about the Spanish Civil War and Franco's dictatorship was not "entertaining". Why is that one of the criteria? Henrietta knew alot about the Spanish Civil War and what the conditions were that led up to it, and the effects during and following the War. I learned alot, and am interested to learn more.

Hellisa (sorry if I remember her name wrong, she's from Greece) is such an amazing tour guide! She's super knowledgeable and is always willing to talk with us about our questions. I would highly recommend this tour with her!

Tour estremamente interessante. Chryssa è riuscita a mantenere alta l'attenzione di tutti parlando in maniera molto chiara e interessante della storia spagnola del 900.

I would absolutely recommend this tour and chrisa. She was so knowledgeable and articulated it all so well. I feel so much better informed about this history now. An excellent couple of hours

We loved this tour. Yannis was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He always welcomed questions and was easy to talk to, especially as it concerned a difficult part of Spanish history. I would highly recommend going on a walking tour with Yannis and learning about Barcelona and the Spanish Civil War.

Ich kann diese Tour nur jeder an Geschichte interessierten Person, die Barcelona besucht, empfehlen! Felipa ist eine sehr unterhaltsame Guide, die uns die verzweigte Geschichte Spaniens und Kataloniens im 20. Jhd in 2 Stunden nahe gebracht hat und dabei auch coole, "versteckte" Orte in der Stadt gezeigt hat. 10/10.

Fabiana is an exceptionally informed guide that can tell you not only a lot about the history of the Spanish civil war but also the wider historical context and her own personal connections to the topic. Especially her insights into how the historical events continue to shape Spain and its politics made the tour fascinating.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Thoughtful and Engaging Tour This tour was truly fascinating. Filipa is incredibly knowledgeable and presents history in a way that feels both engaging and relevant. She weaves together facts, personal stories, and broader historical contexts, making complex events easy to follow while leaving you with a lot to think about. The discussion on the Spanish Civil War and its lasting impact was especially eye-opening. It’s clear she deeply understands the subject and cares about sharing it in a meaningful way. If you’re interested in history beyond the surface-level facts, this tour is definitely worth it. Thank you, Filipa, for such an insightful experience!

I did the same tour last year with a different guide. Last year I was enthralled but unable to make sense of such a complicated subject. Still I was left feeling this was the best tour I had ever taken. This year it made sense. I could explain a brief overview to someone now. What's more is this helps me understand the people of Spain a little more. I wish this company could do every tour I take. They are the very best.

Fascinating tour. Evan was very knowledgeable and explained all aspects of the civil war. He provided an insight into the why when and how of the time. Highly recommended

This tour is informative and interesting on a complex topic. It was enjoyable and our guide was knowledgeable, personable and patient with questions.

Very interesting tour! I was glad to find one on the civil war. I came to Barcelona and awkwardly realised I know pretty much nothing of the Spanish civil war. Well, turns out the Spaniards don't know much either! I would recommend reading some sort of recap of the events and players beforehand though as there is a lot of information. It was a bit hard to follow along at times because of how complex the situation was for my first timer brain.

Este tour me cambió la vida. Me gustó tanto que lo reservé nuevamente para la semana siguiente porque una vez no fue suficiente. Yannis hace el tour muy entretenido, es un experto en el tema, está atento a resolver tus preguntas y a darte recomendaciones de más información sobre el tema. No lo puedo recomendar lo suficiente.

Excellent explanation of civil war, events leaving to it , aftermath of war, Franco’s rule and long term impact on Spain. Yannis is a great communicator and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend his tour.

Filipa our guide , was very warm and entertaining . She definitely knew her stuff

Informative and enjoyable tour with well informed guide

This was a very interesting and unique tour. I really enjoyed the way Chrisa (our tour guide) was explaining the history and what happened during the civil war. I would warmly recommend this tour to anyone that want to get a deeper understanding of Spains history.

Yannis ist ein mega intelligenter und gebildeter Tour Guide, der sich mit der Materie richtig gut auskennt. Er hat unsere Fragen mit Geduld und Professionalität beantwortet. Es war eine sehr spannende Tour, jede Minute und jeden Euro des Trinkgeldes wert. Trotz des grundsätzlich trockenen Themas war es nicht eine Sekunde langweilig oder mühsam sondern einfach nur spannend. Wir haben so viel erfahren und gelernt. Danke

Onno is very knowledgeable and insightful. While the topic is dark, he managed to make it not depressing. He answered every question and it was clear how passionate he is to his work. I highly recommend on the tour!

A great story teller about the tales of the dark side of Porto!

Make sure you're interested in history before booking this tour! We only went to a few places but stayed at each of them for a good amount of time, as Filipa had so much to share about the Spanish civil war and Franco's regime. Well worth it if you have the interest :)

This walking tour by Filipa was educational and informative. Her clear explanation of the political landscape of Spain from 1800s until 1976 was made more interesting with personal stories and anecdotes. Her photos filled out the tour even further. Filipa's attention to detail was exemplary. The walk was easy and safe. I highly recommend this experience for history enthusiasts and those who want to dig deeper into Spanish politics.

Great insight into the Spanish Civil war - not covered on other tours we took. 5 stars!

Filipa was just outstanding in presenting a captive and understandable story of the Spanish Civil War and its impact on Barcelona. I loved every part of the tour and was thrilled for a full 2.5 hours. I learned so much about Barcelona, the Catalan society, and Spain in general.
