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.

La Sagrada Familia, in construction since 1882, is the most visited monument in the country, you will not have a doubt why after having toured it!

From start to finish David was exceptional. He accommodated all aspects of the day. The lunch he chose was wonderful. The sites were some we hadn’t seen before and his knowledge of the city is unmatched. The van and driver were excellent. If you are coming to Barcelona for a day, look no further than David for your excursion!
Loved this tour! David organized a Mercedes van with a driver while he explained everything to us in & out of car. In depth description of Sagrada Familia. Highly Recommend
David was fantastic to work with in planning our two tours. We did the sites of Barcelona with private car one day and sites of Gaudi the second day. Tanja and David were both fantastic at guiding us around and showing us so much that Barcelona has to offer. The additional information that they each shared was geared not just to adults but to my two boys as well. They both knew exactly what we all would want to see and know. David made it very easy to communicate via email and when I got to Spain we communicated via Whats App. I highly recommend Guiding Barcelona and will tell everyone I know to book with them for tours..
Everything in Barcelona! The Sagrada Familia the gothic church was so beautiful! The colors when the sun shines in are breathtaking
Thank you so much Diane for you kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you and I'm glad you loved your tour! Best wishes.
Fantastic experience! Knowledgeable and so nice. We leaned so much and saw all the sites. David was a walking Barcelona encyclopedia! And our driver was super.
Thanks Aimee. It was nice meeting you and your family this morning for the Barcelona's highlights pre-cruise tour. Hope to see you again in the future with more time!
A great opportunity to get to know the city in general. I advise you to be a special and really different experience
Muchas gracias Ana S, fue un placer mostraros a ti y tus pequeños lo mejor de Barcelona. Saludos y hasta la próxima!
This was part of a wonderful 2 day personal tour where David made sure that we saw, tasted and experienced the best that Barcelona has to offer! He shared so much history and made sure to take us off the beaten path to really experience the local customs and food! He was flexible and really catered to our needs. We travel around the globe and have had many personal tours but David is certainly one of the best.
Dear Sheri, it's been great seeing you again and knowing your husband. I really enjoyed the time we spent together and really appreciate the time you took to write a review. See you soon!
David was very flexible with our timing, was able to accommodate our timing. He algo has very engaging personality. A real pleasure!
Thank you Jason for your taking the time to write a review. It was nice meeting you and your family. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay and your time in Spain. See you next time when you come back to Barcelona!
I have traveled to Barcelona for business and pleasure about a half dozen times, but this was my first (Mar 2022) since the pandemic. I yearned to revisit many of my favorite places, however, business constraints left me little time – about 4 hours. Working with David Chacón of Guiding Barcelona, we designed a private tour, which included the Gothic Quarter, Picasso Museum, Olympic Ring on Montjuïc Hill, and Sagrada Familia. During the planning stages, David was always accessible and accommodating. Our guide was Francesc Garcia, who began by explaining the early history of Barcelona. This was followed by a walk through the Gothic Quarter ending at the incomparable Picasso Museum. Few artists have evolved as much in approach, subject matter, and style as Picasso, and Francesc expertly navigated us to the finest examples of Picassso's Blue, Rose, and African periods, Cubism, and Neoclassicism. Atop Montjuïc Hill, we made several brief stops to enjoy the panoramic views of Barcelona. Outside the Sagrada Familia, Francesc began by explaining the origins of the temple with its first architect, Don Francisco de Paula del Villar y Lozano, who soon abandoned the project. A year later, Antonio Gaudi assumed the role and the rest is history. Francesc recommended the best spots for photographs. Within the Sagrada Familia, he focused on the many important architectural symbols of faith. Fast track entrances and Francesc's familiarity with staff allowed us to enter the Picasso Museum and SF without undue delay, despite long lines. Moreover, his detailed knowledge and anecdotes made for a truly exceptional afternoon. Transportation was in a Mercedes S class. In summary, I highly recommend both David Chacón of Guiding Barcelona and Francesc Garcia for those seeking an unforgettable bespoke tour experience
Thank you very much Francis D for your patience and for taking the time to write such an extensive review. Dealing with you about the details of the tour was very easy also thanks to you. Francesc is a tour guide I trust a lot and I was positive he was going to do an excellent job. We are glad you loved your experience and hope to meet you again in the future. David Chacón
This was the second time we had David Chacon give us a tour. In the fall of 2018 he guided us through Segrada Familia as well as Park Gruell. He was so informative, personable, and concerned about those of us in the small tour. I recommended him to our neighbors here in Arizona, and they were equally impressed when he gave them a tour in June of 2019. When we were going to be in Barcelona for a day on a cruise in Nov. 2019, we made arrangements for a private tour. Even though we spent five days in Barcelona in 2018, we learned so much from David during the 6 hours we spent with him this year in November. We would highly recommend him! He is one of the top tour guides so you will need to book in advance to ensure he is available.
