Everyday Life by Plaça Major

What travelers think of our Spain experiences

Pamela Sep 2025

The guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the food experience great. Pam

Robert Sep 2025

Largely focuses on the Gothic Quarter, but provides a great introduction to Barcelona City. It is two hours of constant walking.

Maryanne Sep 2025

Great way to get oriented to a new city and learn fun facts. Patricia was able to answer our many questions.

Mike Sep 2025

Johnathan showed us everything he could with the limited time he had. Walking with him was like walking with an old friend who is showing you around the new neighbor you just moved into. Great sights to see! Great little spots to check out! I’d love to spend a weekend in Barcelona just to see what else he’s got!

Maryanne Sep 2025

Patricia was lovely and a wealth of knowledge!

Tracy Sep 2025

Adriana is wonderful! We all enjoyed our tour and she was so helpful even with recommendations for other things to do for the rest of our stay. Would highly recommend her!

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.
