Overview

Most history tours give you dates and plaques. Mine gives you the story of the city council that accidentally built a fake medieval neighbourhood, the brothel that inspired one of the most famous paintings in history, and the building everyone photographs that's only 100 years old.

Here's what you get in 2 hours:
10 minutes of stand-up comedy to warm up the group (yes, really)
70 minutes walking the Gothic Quarter and El Born, 16 stops, zero boring moments
15-minute break at a local bar, you order if you want(The bar will be of sweet tapas in the morning and of salty ones in the evening)
25 minutes finishing the route and wrapping the show

What makes this tour different:
- One guide, always me — you know who you're getting before you arrive
- A real local tapa — not a tourist trap, an actual neighbourhood bar
- Comedy-first storytelling — history you'll actually remember because you laughed at it
- Fully bilingual for those who prefer it — English and Spanish, same quality, same jokes

The Gothic Quarter is the most-booked free tour destination in the world. There are plenty of tours here. But there's only one show.This is your chance to live it.Welcome to Funny Vibes Show Tour.

Meeting point

BASILICA SANTA MARIA DEL MAR

On arrival

I will meet you in front of Basilica Santa Maria del Mar, at the front gate in Passeig del Born (a plaza with local bars and a lot of trees).

Things to note

Just a quick reminder:

Try to arrive at least 5 minutes before the starting time — that way we can begin on time and you’ll still have the rest of the day free for your plans.

Remember: I’ll be waiting for you at the main entrance of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, in Passeig del Born.

If you have any trouble finding me, just send me a message here and I’ll reply right away. See you very soon!
