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.

    Federico was our tour guide and he was amazing. The perfect way to start our trip in Barcelona. He showed us all over the city and provided the history behind each place. We loved the personalized itinerary and experience. Would definitely book this tour again. If you do book this tour you must have Federico as your guide. Thank you for making our trip memorable.

    Great tour - customized it for our family based on what we already had seen the day before. Added a lot of background in terms of art and architecture which is what we were hoping for. Our guide even gave us recommendations for food and shopping for the remainder of our time in Barcelona.

    Yesterday Alan walked us in, around and through Barcelona in a way and style that completely exceeded all of our expectations. The time flew by and it felt as if we'd only just begun by the time we had to say good-bye. Alan's insight, passion and friendly engagement are all outstanding. I can guarantee that on our next visit to Barcelona we'll be hoping Alan will be available to show and educate us more. We wholeheartedly recommend him to whoever wants to truly experience the gems, both hidden and obvious, that make Barcelona a gem in its own right. 5+ stars to Alan.
