Highlights
-
Barrio Gotico (Barri Gotic) - We will start the tour by walking through winding alleyways in the oldest part of the city, the Gothic Quarter. While the name brings us back to the medieval era, the point is that everything started a long time before, during the Roman Empire when it was given the name of “Barcino”. The name actually was much longer than that, you’ll be surprised when you’ll learn it!
We will see medieval palaces and churches, the old Jewish Quarter, the famous Barcelona’s busiest market, La Boqueria, and of course, some Roman remains.
Halfway of the walking tour, there will be time to relax and to taste some churros dipped into hot chocolate.
After having visited the old town, we will have a lunch break in one of the best tapas restaurants in town. - Rambla de Catalunya - Tapas time!
-
Casa Batllo - Stroll along Passeig de Gràcia, our Champs Elysees, and delve into the architectural beauty of Modernist Barcelona. Admire the whimsical façades of the Block of the Discord, especially Casa Batllo, which is in every sense, a work of art.
Would you also like to visit the interior of Casa Batllo? Let us know in advance and we will organize it for you. The visit would take around 1h. -
Casa Mila - La Pedrera - Amaze yourself with the wavy façade of Casa Milà aka “La Pedrera”, a fantasy in stone and wrought iron. Gaudí’s last building before he devoted himself entirely to the construction of La Sagrada Familia.
Would you also like to visit the interior of Casa Batllo? Let us know in advance and we will organize it for you. The visit would take around 1h. - Park Güell - Your guide will lead you through the park describing the organic architectural approach to Gaudí’s works and will share with you the history behind its construction bringing it to life. You will not be left on your own in the Park because your guide is not licensed!
- Basilica de la Sagrada Familia - As the icing on the cake, to finish the tour, the most amazing attraction in town, and for many the most beautiful church they’ve ever seen. Get to know about the history of the church, how and when it started, who its first architect was, yes, it was not Antoni Gaudi! Construction techniques, materials, geometry, symbolism and more will be unveiled by your private licensed guide, both outside and inside the Basilica. Our licensed tour guides will not just give you a skip line ticket for a self-guided tour with an audioguide and leave you on your own, don’t get fooled!

Amazing tour you must do it - Everything was amazing - I spent along time wondering what was my favourite bit. But I think I loved it all for different reasons - you just have to se it all. David was an amazing guide and gave us the right amount of time and information in all the places. - The world is just such a beautiful place and a david showed us this beauty though his eyes and knowledge ( he also knew all the best places to eat - YUM )

Unforgettable memories - David Chacon was referred to me by a good friend who spent several weeks in Barcelona, so we connected by email with David prior to our trip. David made it a point to be completely connected to us prior to our pickup and we spent the entire day listening to him tell us the history of everything we saw. He speaks perfect English and was so very easy to be with! Our biggest and most memorable of that tour is definitely La Sagrada Familia!!! David took pictures of us inside the cathedral that will make a perfect Christmas card!! He is definitely a fabulous tour guide!!!

The best of Barcelona - David gave us a fabulous 10 hour tour with so many highlights of the city. We sampled amazing seafood and other food for lunch. This was the best way to see so much of the beautiful city of Barcelona with such limited time.
