How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
This personalized experience with one of our super friendly hosts will be like spending the day with a close friend, exploring the narrow, winding streets of Barcelona. Imagine strolling through cobbled lanes flanked with cafes, tapas bars and galleries framed by a skyline punctuated with stunning cathedrals and colorful architecture.
Your local Barcelona host will take you on a journey to the heart of Barcelona, where you could visit the Jewish Quarter or step back 2000 years with a trip to the old Roman Temple.
After ticking off your must-see sights in the city, allow your host to lead you off the beaten track - we promise you won’t get lost - and offer a glimpse into authentic local life in Barcelona. Stop for a quick bite or coffee break at one of the local’s favorite cafés or street food markets before browsing the myriad of shops and galleries dotted throughout the city.
Hear stories from times old and take in the vibrant art, history and food of Barcelona. We know that a city is more than a place, but a feeling. And so that’s exactly what you’ll experience with your host, as you discover Barcelona your way.

This group is fabulous at communication. Seriously, you hear from the company upon booking and then from your guide on your preferences to customize your experience multiple times before the tour. We opted for their recommendations almost entirely. We had Alfredo and he was great. Good sense of humor, easy to understand and brought visuals to help his tour. We really enjoyed it and he helped us even after the tour find places to eat based on his local recommendations. Give them a try they were great for us

We had never been to Barcelona before, so we asked Pau to take us to interesting and historic sites. He didn’t disappoint.
