Mission Barcelona: A Scavenger Hunt Adventure (Travel Guide For Kids)

I don’t write a lot of reviews but wanted to for this- We had so much fun with this book! The missions were clever but didn’t take a ton of extra time. My 6 and 10 years old loved it and the adult did too. Great pictures. Up to date. I will definitely get these for other cities we visit.

The book highlighted important parts of Barcelona to see while at the same time engaging our daughter in interesting searches and facts!!! Excellent

We bought the London book for our son when he was 10. It made London so much more fun for him. He didn't complain at all about sightseeing, which we were afraid of, but actually looked forward to each of the places we went and was interested in what he was looking for. We've just bought the Barcelona book for an upcoming trip. These books are really delightfully written: creative content and text, educational, good pictures and set up with the various 'missions' making it really fun. I'd say any kid from 7 or 8 to 12 (I hope, as that's my son's age now) would love it, and even younger with help would love to look for the various items that make up the scavenger hunt.

Our family went on a trip and spent a couple of days in Barcelona. We wanted to see the sites, but were afraid that our 7 year old would get bored taking tours around the city. This book not only kept her happy, but it kept her engaged and eager to learn about the places we visited. Please keep making these books for different places around the world!

We had the opportunity to take the kids to Barcelona last month (10 and 6 years old). We had never taken them to Europe and were a little worried with how they would do with sightseeing. We found this book and planned out entire trip around finishing the mission. The kids had a blast! The book simple enough to keep them engaged, but had interesting history and background to give them a real sense of the city. The only place I would like to see included that isn't is Palau Guell (even if it's just to look at the doors from the outside as they are amazing). We will definitely be looking at other books in this series for future travel.

Kept our son busy during our trip. Great idea, just wish it had more items to find that were not so location specific. Very nice and keeps them busy.

It was just my six-year-old and me for a few days in barcelona, and we had so much fun using this book. I had been there a couple of times before, but I still learned a thing or two, and it really held his interest. He was so into earning points for finding all of the items, figuring things out, saying “gracias!” to people — it even made him willing to try new foods! What a great idea, well executed. Will definitely purchase the others when we go to other cities.

What a great, perfect book ! The hunts are engaging and keep the kids enthusiastic about visiting monuments and churches. But I particularly loved the part where they get points for tasting new food !!! We also met fellow Texans in front of one of the Gaudi's houses, they were doing the same hunt ! Kids did not even care about how many points they got in the end, but they sure kept chasing the bats and the dragons and San Jordi throughout the city.

I love this book I’m 8 and I’m going to go to Barcelona in may! This book is so so so so good!😊Thank you, John f.😁😀☺️🙂😄🤩

We all loved this book and would recommend to anyone with kids. Mine (6 and 8) happily visited all the tourist sites in Barcelona scouring for clues. We did it in two very long days. It made the break so fun and special

inintéressant a suivre et a apprendre les anecdotes sur Barcelone.Les enfants se sont bien amusées et ils ont beaucoup aimer l’Idée d'une chasse au trésor toute en se baladant.

Quite a nice way to get kids involved in looking closer, we have bought these for a couple of cities now, a good mix of the causal (points for eating a local pastry, spotting a football shirt etc) but also a couple of 'quests' at galleries/churches - like the ones at Sagrada Familia (sp?) that helped everyone stay interested - would recc - for 6-10's

This book is an excellent resource! Our ten year old daughter enhanced our trip to Barcelona by guiding us to certain streets and squares in order to find the landmarks in the book. The family enjoyed hunting for the landmarks and reading more about the fountains and plaques that we might otherwise walk past. Some of the landmarks required a bit more hunting than others, which added to the fun. We are looking forward to getting the Paris & Rome book for future trips.
