Nick Lloyd's Spanish Civil War Tour was one of the highlights of our foursome's May, 2012 visit to Barcelona, all the more poignant because of the current struggles of the Spanish working class. We considered ourselves a relatively informed group, but we learned a great deal from Nick in our three-hour tour. He was engaging, entertaining, and informative – but... More

If you really want to appreciate Barcelona and its rich history, you must do this tour. It is incredibly moving to hear about the efforts of the men and women who stood up for their beliefs. I learned so much in just a few hours, and I want to learn even more! Nick's passion and knowledge really shone through on... More

I have been a regular visitor to Barcelona for 20 years, and had done some Civil War sightseeing by myself from time to time. However, Nick Lloyd really succeeded in bringing the period to life for me, as well as providing a subtle and balanced perspective on the complex political nuances of the time. The tour was a highlight of... More

Nick Lloyd's tour of the city describing the civil war and bringing to life the revolutionary days of Barcelona is simply brilliant. Nick is an engaging and passionate speaker, with a thousand stories of Red Barcelona. Excellent, a "must do". http://www.facebook.com/nick.lloyd.5 More

I can thoroughly recommend Nick's tour. He gives a superb run down of the events surrounding the conflict, and the very distinct revolutionary character the war took on in Barcelona in particular. What really made this tour stand out was Nick's very clear passion for the history he was telling, and in particular his passion for the radical spirit that... More

As a seasoned traveller, over the years, I've been on many general and specialised short tours. This is the first time I've written a review. Why now? Simply because Nick Lloyd, is not only a great professional guide but most importantly for me; a brilliant storyteller. He somehow managed to give life back to those individual and collective voices that... More

Both the Old Town of Barcelona and my reading of Homage to Catalunya eight years ago were brought back to life for me today by Nick's tour, which included a superb series of images (in a folder and on the iPad), revolutionary song at the top of La Rambla, and much knowledge and insight besides. As a Barcelona resident I... More

This tour is to be highly recommended. The leader, Nick Lloyd, has put together a most informative set of information based on George Orwell's 'Homage to Catalonia' using various media to bring alive Barcelona in the time of the civil war and the bombings of World War 2. It is not onerous and would be of general or specialist interest.... More

Nick Lloyd has a deep interest in and knowledge of the Spanish Civil War and is enthusiastic about making the time period come alive in his tours. I took a first tour with him and was so impressed I signed up for another one that he was doing later in the week. He uses his IPad to share pictures, music... More
