Beside Mass Tourism - Impressing Cementry Tour! - Top Guide, placed a lot of information about famous “residents” and their lives. You should wear comfortable shoes for the walk, but I recommend this tour strongly. Thank you!

A beautiful and informative experience - I have wanted to visit this cemetery for years and it lived up to the hype! Absolutely Amazing!! Onno was wonderful, informative, and chill. it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend we've known for years (a smart friend full of interesting tid bits). He's also an incredible photographer and took wonderful photos for us. he was so much fun to hang out with that we are looking at booking another tour with him on our trip. It was, by far, my favorite experience in Barcelona and I felt everything else was either too touristy or over-rated. During this tour we only saw maybe 10 people in 3 hours, which is exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend this tour.

Very good - Our guide was Onno, and he was really great! Very informative yet relaxed, affable and informal. Such a broad set of stories to be told, reflecting the whole community's history. Well done!

Barcelona Cemetery Tour - The Barcelona Cemetery Tour was a great experience and opportunity to learn more about the cultural and historical relationship between the cemetery itself, and the city. Onno was an amazing guide and was very knowledgeable! My tour was a few days after All Soul's Day and it was so fascinating to see the cemetery so decorated. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get a feel of the city in a way that's a little off the beaten track. I really enjoyed hearing about the important figures of Barcelona's past buried on the grounds.

Something cool and different! - Onno was great! Started at the top and worked our way down the hill. He went at our pace (5 of us including kids aged 12 & 14) and walked for almost 3 hours. Answered the kids questions along the way. Almost no tourists around. Beautiful sculptures and monuments and my daughter took very cool pictures.

Would recommend this tour. - Montjuic cemetery is a major part of the history of Barcelona, and offers insights into how Barcelona residents over the decades have commemorated the deaths of their friends and families. To my knowledge, this is the only cemetery tour offered in English. The tour is paced to permit extended viewing and wandering around pre-selected parts of the cemetery. A lot of stairs, but almost all downhill, since the tour starts at the top of the cemetery. Tour guide was well-informed and personable.

Well-designed tour, and the only one in English as of Oct 2024 - The Montjuic Cemetery is a fascinating place with a rich history and many works of art. Our tour guide was very well informed. The tour went at a leisurely pace that allowed us to wander a bit and take time to get a good look at the monuments and sculptures. It was great that the tour included transportation to and from the cemetery to a convenient meeting place, since the cemetery is not all that accessible by public transport, especially for visitors to Barcelona. Also good that we started near the top, so most of the walking was downhill. Highly recommend.

Unique experience - We spent a lovely morning touring the cemetery with Onno. Beautiful views of the city and very peaceful as we walked through listening to the history and about the lives of the people buried there. Very impressive variety of statues and elaborate mausoleums. Having a guide allowed us to see the best of the cemetery. It is so large that you could wander all day and not see some of the best sites. There are a lot of stairs but the pace is leisurely I was able to complete the tour and enjoyed it all. Thank you Onno for a very enjoyable and impressive day.
