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.

Reviews

    I love using City Unscripted for a private tour when I travel to Europe and Alan was absolutely fantastic! He customized the itinerary based on what I wanted to do (and got tickets for us in advance so we could go up the tower at the Sagrada). It was so nice not to have to think about where I was going and just followed him around the whole day. Alan is very personable and easy to talk to (as evident by him making conversations with the taxi drivers and hotel bellhop) and most importantly, he is an amazing photographer so definitely a plus for a personal tour guide that can take you around and take amazing pictures! Definitely highly recommend Alan (and I appreciate that he came prepared with a Gaudi book in case there are hard questions haha!)

    We really enjoyed our time with Ivanna. She was a great guide to help us see the sites of Barcelona. She reached out in advance of our trip and tailored our tour around our interests. Bonus - Ivanna is a professional photographer, so we didn't have to worry about taking photos while enjoying the city.

    We had a wonderful tour with Ivanna in Barcelona. She planned the day to include Moco Museum, Casa Batilo, and several additional stops. Ivanna was fun, knowledgeable and capable guide for a full day tour. She is fluent in English making it easy to communicate. Ivanna is one of those rare guides who you want to stay in contact with as a friend.
