What you'll do

A whole day to explore Barcelona - lucky you. You’ll spend the day with one of our local Barcelona hosts, who can’t wait to share with you their favorite places to hang out, where to get your hands on the best food, and show you the city through an inspiring lens.

You’ll weave your way through a neighborhood or two, discovering its infectious energy, impossible to resist food, and vibrant local spots. You’ll have time to see some historic landmarks and districts like the Sagrada Família the Gothic Quarter, laze your afternoon away sipping sangria on the beach or later on at a well worn local tapas bar, get cultured at the Picasso Museum, or just enjoy wandering with a local friend to show you everything you would have missed had you decided to go it alone.

And we’ll always make sure you uncover one or two secret Barcelona spots - like the best sunset spot in the mountains (on top of a bunker no less). We know that a city is more than a place, but a feeling. And so that’s exactly what you’ll experience on your day with your host, as you discover Barcelona your way.

    My tour guide Jonathan was outstanding! He was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable about Barcelona. I learned a lot about the city and more importantly gained a new friend!

    Jonathan made me comfortable right from the start. It was like meeting a friend I had known for years. He was warm, funny and extremely knowledgeable about Barcelona. I got to experience wonderful tapas and Spanish vermouth, my new favorite cocktail. I love architecture and Jonathan took me to see some amazing buildings. I highly recommend the tour and Jonathan to anyone that wants to expand their horizons with a great company and even better guides!

    Una excelente experiencia. Ivanna es amable, divertida, conocedora de los temas más relevantes de Barcelona. Es nuestra primera vez en esta ciudad y es muy difícil hacer un recorrido tan completo en un día. Recomiendo esta experiencia además porque se hace a tu ritmo y así puedes disfrutar de los sitios, la comida y la cultura. Además te hace muy buenas recomendaciones para el resto del viaje. An excellent experience. Ivanna is friendly, funny, knowledgeable about the most relevant topics in Barcelona. It is our first time in this city and it is very difficult to do such a complete tour in one day. I also recommend this experience because it is done at your own pace and so you can enjoy the sites, the food and the culture. He also makes very good recommendations for the rest of the trip.
