Itinerary
We will walk through el Mercat de la Boqueria, situated on the famous Rambla, the most famous market and a benchmark of Barcelona. The market offers a great variety of fresh products of excellent quality.
One of the most important churches in Barcelona and a perfect example of Catalan gothic religious architecture.
One of the most breathtaking cathedrals in the city. Its construction began in the late 13th century, though it wasn't completed until the mid-15th century.
Constructed in 1928 by Joan Rubió i Bellver, the little bridge has helped make C/ de Bisbe one of the most photographed streets in Barcelona. It unites the Casa dels Canonges and the Palau de la Generalitat
Square that contains el Palau de la Generalitat, where the President of Catalonia and its cabinet work
The Basilica Santa Maria del Mar is considered the real cathedral of the Old Town since it has been constructed in Medieval times by their own neighbours.
Walk along the Fossar de les Moreres, a war memorial for the dead that took place during the Siege of Barcelona (1713-1714), as part of the War of the Spanish Succession
Ascend with our private transportation to Montjuïc and admire a bird’s eye view of Barcelona and its surroundings. The best way to admire Barcelona in all its beauty is from high above the city.
Stop with the transportation at L'Anella Olimpica and this monumental complex formed by the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, the Palau Sant Jordi and the Esplanade of the Ring. It is the legacy of the 1992 Olympic Games, when Barcelona became the world capital of sport
Walk along and see from the outside Casa Battló, one of Gaudí's masterpieces: a proclamation of joy, a canvas of marine inspiration, a dream world that evokes nature and fantasy.
Continue walking through Passeig de Gràcia and see from the outside Casa Milà, also known as "La Pedrera" which translates as "the quarry" in spanish. It was the last building that Gaudí worked on before he devoted his attention to La Sagrada Familia.
You will be taken to Sagrada Família on a private bus. In the church, once you have enjoyed a detailed explanation of all the different façades of the building and its fascinating history, you will be accompanied inside by your tour guide, who will explain the secrets of its magic interior while you are astonished by the forest of columns and the lights shining through the stained glass.
Embark on a pre-lunch adventure as our tour guide accompanies you to Park Güell in our private transportation. Once inside, on your own, explore this symbol of Catalan modernism designed by Antoni Gaudí. Marvel at whimsical architectural forms that blend nature and fantasy, with mosaic tiles, curvilinear structures, and vibrant colors reflecting Gaudí's innovative and surrealistic approach to architecture. Enjoy one of Barcelona's best viewpoints at your own pace.

Luca was an excellent guide. We had a issue with my brother needing a wheelchair, which we borrowed from our hotel. Luca made the excursion work with the wheelchair. He was very flexible with the schedule and made it work for us! He was also very knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona and all the places we visited! Definitely a great experience and I would highly recommend!
Hola Connie! Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear the experience worked well for your group and that you were able to enjoy the excursion comfortably. It’s great that the visit was both informative and memorable for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future!
Top highlights of Barcelona, great way to see the most in one day! Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and the driver was great.
As a personal tour, the guide did a drop off with a map at the Park Guell, advising us of the time to return for pick up. The park is poorly mapped and we were lucky to get back on time. We understood from the guide other guests got lost and it was a problem for them to reconnect with the guide at the designated place. The guide also struggled to do an electronic transfer of tickets for the Segrada de Familia Cathedral and suggested we find help. I needed to assert as our guide, she search assistance. Which she did and discovered her company provided some me inaccurate information. The guide also attempted to leave us there with just a screen shot of the ticket information on her phone. Ultimately we got in, but she did not guide us through the cathedral. That was up to us to follow an audio guide provided by the cathedral It would have been better if we booked each tour directly through each site.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He had a lot to share with us. The driver was very good as well. We spent much of the time walking which was good so we could take in the sites.
Hola! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated both your guide’s insights and the driver’s skill. It’s great that you liked exploring on foot — the best way to take in the sights!
Excellent from start to finish. Nacho was so knowledgeable and friendly. Easily understood and he understood us. Everything was exactly as described in advertisements.
Hola Lora! Thank you for your excellent feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Nacho’s knowledge, friendliness, and clear communication made your experience exactly as described. Your satisfaction is our top priority. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Best regards, Barcelona Local Experiences Team
My husband and I decided to do a private tour with this company during our stay in Barcelona. It was a seven hour tour, it was completely worth every penny! Our tour guide was Camilo. He is not only knowledgeable in the history of Barcelona, he is also kind, funny. After a while, we didn’t feel as though we were on tour we felt as though we had caught up with an old friend who was giving us a tour of his city. It made the day special fun and informative everything we hoped it would be! I highly recommend this tour!

Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future! Best regards, Barcelona Local Experiences
We had a 7 hour tour with guide and driver. We had a wonderful experience. Our guide, Brian, was very informative and accommodating to our special health needs. The city is beautiful and we learned a lot about many different sites. We would recommend this tour.

Our private tour in Barcelona was beyond exceptional. From the moment we met our guide, it was clear we were in for something special. We explored the Gothic Quarter, Gaudí’s iconic houses, and even made our way up to Montjuïc—all while learning the rich and fascinating history of the city in a way that truly brought it to life. What set this experience apart was how personalized and insightful it was. We weren’t just seeing the sights—we were understanding them. From the legends of St. George to the symbolism hidden in Sagrada Família’s design, every stop came with thoughtful storytelling and context we never would’ve gotten on our own. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and had the perfect pace for our family. He even pointed out little hidden gems like the Picasso mural near the cathedral and shared stories we’re still talking about. If you want to get the most out of your time in Barcelona, this is the tour to book—do it on your first day so the rest of your trip is richer for it!
Thank you so much for this beautifully detailed and generous review. We're absolutely delighted to hear that your private tour was such a meaningful and memorable experience. It’s wonderful to know that your guide brought Barcelona’s history, legends, and architecture to life in a way that truly resonated with your family. From the Gothic Quarter to Montjuïc, and those special hidden gems along the way, we’re so glad you felt the care and personalization that goes into every tour. Your advice to take the tour on the first day is spot on — it really does enrich the rest of the visit. Thank you again for trusting us with your time in Barcelona. We hope to welcome you back for more discoveries in the future! Warmest regards
The tour was overall fun. We really enjoyed our tour guide. Nico was very knowledgeable and im glad he was our guide. The gothic quarter walk was the best part in our opinion. The tour itself wasn’t the best use of time. there was so much driving. It felt like we spent more time in the car than seeing stuff. the guide does not go into the Sagrada Familia with you, so that was something else we didn’t expect. We figured since it was included in the tour that we would get the info inside, but we parted ways when we got there. Also- they offer “hotel pick up” but not drop off which came as a huge surprise to us. We found out towards the end of the tour and the ending spot was very far away from our hotel. We were told to get an uber or taxi but the tour ended at rush hour. We spent hours trying to find any sort of transportation and couldn’t find a single taxi, uber or the other ride share that we downloaded, and ended up having to walk over 2 miles in 90 degree heat which put a damper on the entire day. We were pretty upset that the ending transportation wasn’t disclosed
Hola Sarah! Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your kind words about Nico, we’re glad he made the tour enjoyable for you, especially the walk through the Gothic Quarter. We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of the tour did not meet your expectations. We would like to kindly clarify that, before booking, the tour description and the “What’s Included” section clearly state that the visit inside the Sagrada Família is self-guided, and that the guide does not enter the monument with the group. Also, the tour includes hotel pick-up only, which is specified in the booking details. We truly regret the inconvenience you experienced with transportation at the end of the tour, especially during rush hour. We always recommend planning your return trip in advance, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve how we communicate these important details to future guests. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another experience where we can exceed your expectations. Warm regards, Barcelona Local Experiences

Hola Nathalie, Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that Paulina’s knowledge and energy made your tour such a memorable experience. It means a lot to us that you loved it and consider it a must-do in Barcelona! Best regards, Barcelona Local Experiences Team
