Itinerary
We'll stroll through Mercat de la Boqueria, located on La Rambla. This renowned market, a Barcelona landmark since its inauguration in 1840, continues to provide an extensive array of high-quality fresh products to the people of Catalonia to this day. It serves as an ideal chance to delve into the world of Spanish gastronomy.
One of the most important churches in Barcelona and a perfect example of Catalan gothic religious architecture. The tour doesn't include a visit inside the Basilica.
One of the most breathtaking cathedrals in the city. Its construction began in the late 13th century, though it wasn't completed until the mid-15th century. The tour doesn't include a visit inside the Cathedral.
Constructed in 1928 by Joan Rubió i Bellver, the little bridge has helped make C/ de Bisbe one of the most photographed streets in Barcelona. It unites the Casa dels Canonges and the Palau de la Generalitat
Square that contains el Palau de la Generalitat, where the President of Catalonia and its cabinet work
The Basilica Santa Maria del Mar is considered the real cathedral of the Old Town since it has been constructed in Medieval times by their own neighbours.
Walk along the Fossar de les Moreres, a war memorial for the dead that took place during the Siege of Barcelona (1713-1714), as part of the War of the Spanish Succession
Ascend with our private transportation to Montjuïc and admire a bird’s eye view of Barcelona and its surroundings. The best way to admire Barcelona in all its beauty is from high above the city.
Stop with the transportation at L'Anella Olimpica and this monumental complex formed by the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, the Palau Sant Jordi and the Esplanade of the Ring. It is the legacy of the 1992 Olympic Games, when Barcelona became the world capital of sport
Perched on Montjuïc, the viewpoint unveils Barcelona's majestic skyline. From historic landmarks to modern marvels, it captures the city's vibrant essence.
Pass by: Pass through Casa Battló, one of Gaudí's masterpieces: a proclamation of joy, a canvas of marine inspiration, a dream world that evokes nature and fantasy.
Pass by: Pass through Passeig de Gràcia and see from the outside Casa Milà, also known as "La Pedrera" which translates as "the quarry" in spanish. It was the last building that Gaudí worked on before he devoted his attention to La Sagrada Familia.
Embark on a pre-lunch adventure as our tour guide accompanies you to Park Güell in our private transportation. Once inside, on your own, explore this symbol of Catalan modernism designed by Antoni Gaudí. Marvel at whimsical architectural forms that blend nature and fantasy, with mosaic tiles, curvilinear structures, and vibrant colors reflecting Gaudí's innovative and surrealistic approach to architecture. Enjoy one of Barcelona's best viewpoints at your own pace.
Prior to our visit to Sagrada Familia, we will pause at a local, family-owned restaurant for lunch. A variety of dishes, including salads, meats, fish, and vegetables, are available for your selection. Please note that lunch expenses are not included in the tour price. Each guest has the flexibility to choose their preferred meal, and payment will be made directly at the restaurant (estimated cost: 20/25€ per person). This is a suggestion, and the group is welcome to dine together. Alternatively, should you prefer to dine elsewhere or bring your own lunch, please feel at liberty to do so.
Following lunch, your tour guide will escort you to Sagrada Família. After a detailed presentation on the intricacies of the building's façades, its historical significance, and Gaudi's visionary concepts, you will be provided with a skip-the-line ticket. This grants you the opportunity to independently explore the wonders of Antoni Gaudi's masterpiece. Marvel at the forest of columns and be captivated by the interplay of light through the stained glass.

Traveler reviews
Highly Recommend for a Barcelona Overview
Rocco was great! His English was very clear (even though he was born and raised in Barcelona) and he was extremely knowledgeable. My husband and I agreed that it was money well spent. We would highly recommend taking this tour on your first day to have a better overview of the city and where you want to concentrate your attention during successive days of your visit.
Fun and interesting tour of Barcelona
Great tour that covered a lot of ground! Miro was an excellent tour guide, along with Roco and Dasha. The tour included a lot of fun history and pop culture references which kept it very high energy and interesting. I highly recommend it.
Great tour
Very balanced tour of walking, sites and history for family with a stroller and 4 years old. It was also nice to get the bus to go to a few other spots because it was hot! Miro was a great tour guide.
