What you’ll do

Ready for an unforgettable day in Barcelona? Get set to explore this vibrant city with a local host who knows all the best spots and hidden gems. From a delightful breakfast at a quirky café to wandering through lush parks and bustling markets, this experience is packed with some of my absolute favorite spots in Barcelona. Let's dive into the heart of Barcelona and make some incredible memories together!

Kickstart your Barcelona adventure at Billy Brunch and Park, a quirky hotspot known for its mouth-watering breakfasts and brunches. Picture yourself tucking into a hearty meal, washed down with your favorite drink, while your local host fills you in on the secrets of local cuisine and the best food spots in town. This place has something to tickle everyone's taste buds.

With your belly happy and full, head over to the stunning Ciutadella Park. This green haven is the perfect escape from the city buzz, offering plenty of spots to relax and explore. Jump into a rowing boat on the serene lake or wander through the lush greenhouse filled with vibrant plants. Don’t miss the enchanting Cascada Monumental, a hidden gem designed by a young Antoni Gaudí. Marvel at the intricate hydraulics and water tank, ingeniously crafted by the visionary architect. Inspired by Rome's Trevi Fountain, the cascading waters are adorned with mythological elements, creating a truly magical spectacle. 

Next, dive into the cozy charm of Elsa y Fred, a hidden gem in the Old Town district of Born. This restaurant transports you to 1950s Europe with its warm ambiance and classic decor. Admire the wall adorned with a famous quote from the iconic film "Elsa and Fred," capturing the restaurant's romantic essence. Indulge in a delightful lunch, whether you prefer traditional tapas or innovative cuisine. It's one of my favorite spots in Barcelona for a truly memorable experience.

Your adventure then leads you to the bustling Mercat de la Boqueria, a vibrant market right in the heart of Barcelona. Stroll through the lively aisles filled with colorful stalls offering fresh produce, gourmet meats, cheeses, and more. The market is a melting pot of local culture, where you'll see Barcelonians shopping side by side with curious tourists. Your host will guide you to the best spots, making sure you don't miss any hidden treasures.

Throughout the day, your local host will share fascinating stories and insider tips, turning every corner into a discovery. Get ready for a fun-filled, unforgettable journey through the best of Barcelona! And remember to tell me how it went.

What travelers think of our Spain experiences

Eran Apr 2025

Anna was amazing. Even before the tour began, she was proactive in communicating with us and suggesting ideas and things to do. We met her in the morning and explored the Gothic Quarter, Eixample, and several other fascinating spots around Barcelona. She shared rich historical insights in a way that kept all of us, including our kids (ages 9 and 12), fully engaged and entertained. Her friendly and approachable nature made the experience even better. We also got to try some delicious local food along the way, guided by her recommendations. Highly recommend Anna for anyone looking to explore Barcelona in a meaningful and enjoyable way. Thank you, Anna!

Pau was amazing in understanding our needs and making a Taylor made tour! I was traveling with my mother and my 7 years old twin children, and he managed to merge culture, architecture and gastronomy in the same tour!

Alan was very knowledgeable about the history and the city of Girona itself. He had even taken time to study the various options of routes one can take to reach the cathedral, so that he can provide a less strenuous route for people who may find it difficult to climb the steps. That shows he really cares about providing the best services to the visitors. He also made recommendation and reservations for our lunch and dinner at very good restaurants. We really enjoyed our tour with him and we have no hesitation to recommend him. We ourelves will certainly look for him when we next come back to Baecelona. Thank you Alan. ,

Alan’s mastery of Barcelona’s rich and exciting history was evident from the start. In a group of five, it can be easy for one or two people to feel excluded. This was not the case with Alan’s tour - he made sure that each member of the group felt included and he tailed a part of the tour to their specific interests. The group learned so much and we are going to leave Barcelona with a much deeper appreciation that we otherwise would have, without going on the tour.

My wife and I spent the entire day with Alan in Barcelona. We had an incredible experience. He is a consummate professional. He combines the utmost respect for both of us with a passion and knowledge of such a wide range of topics related to Catalonia and Barcelona that the experience becomes a very personal connection with the area as well as with Alan himself. I can't think of a better way to get knowledge and passion for the city.
