See the best of Barcelona

In a city with too many iconic attractions to count, we’ll plan the perfect itinerary to show you the parts of Barcelona you’ll love. Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture-lover, or a bona fide foodie, our personalized Barcelona tours let you discover a side to the city not even your guidebook knows about. Between iconic attractions like Sagrada Familia and ancient Roman temples, you could easily spend weeks swept up in a wave of tourists. But on Barcelona private tours with us, you might find that the most memorable parts of the city are the backstreet cava bars and secret jazz basements.

    Alan es una persona muy bien preparada, es muy amable y paciente. Debo mencionar que viaje con niños y siempre estuvo atento a explicar de forma que ellos entendieran, siempre los incluyo. Es muy amigable y el tour fue tan natural que parecía que lo conocía de años. Son de las cosas positivas que siempre se recuerdan en los viajes. Personalmente lo recomiendo mucho. Puedo asegurar que conoce más Barcelona que los propios locales! Muchas gracias por compartirnos tus conocimientos sobre Catalunya Alan! Un abrazo cálido de parte de toda mi familia! Alan is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and patient. I should mention that I was traveling with children, and he was always careful to explain things in a way they could understand, making sure to include them at all times. He is very friendly, and the tour felt so natural—it was as if I had known him for years. These are the kinds of positive experiences that make trips memorable. I highly recommend him; I can say with confidence that he knows Barcelona better than the locals do! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of Catalonia with us, Alan! Warm regards from my entire family!

    Our guide Pau was passionate about Barcelona and sports. He goes like the energizer bunny. This was a great way to explore the city and see the inside of his experiences. He picked a fantastic place for lunch with fresh seafood and paella. And, he seems to be a very avid history buff. He takes you back 3,000 years and brings you right to today with the politics and happening in the city. I would be remiss to not to point out that this was a walking tour in the hottest season on record. As a result, we did take a few cabs to get between places (which was very welcome with some air conditioning) and we still got over 15,000 steps. Be prepared for a physical challenge. Pau was a great host to the city of Barcelona.

    Pau was a great guide. He knew so much about Barcelona. You could tell that he loved his city. His insights were exceptional.

    Isabel was fabulous! She had everything planned and was in contact regularly before the tour. She was engaging and informative. We saw so much and yet I didn’t feel rushed at all.
