The main square and central meeting hub of Barcelona
Barcelona’s highest point offers stunning panoramic views of the city and the sea. At the top, you'll find the Temple of the Sacred Heart, an impressive Neo-Gothic church crowned with a golden statue of Christ. The area also features a historic amusement park and beautiful nature trails.
Gaudí’s most iconic and ambitious masterpiece, still under construction after more than a century. Your guide will explain its fascinating design, symbolism, and history. Afterward, enjoy one hour of free time to enter the basilica (optional), relax in the nearby park, or have a quick snack/lunch.
One of Europe’s most elegant boulevards, known for its luxury boutiques and architectural masterpieces. As you stroll along, admire the ornate façades of Casa Batlló and Casa Milà (La Pedrera), two of Antoni Gaudí’s most famous residential buildings.
A fantastical house designed by Gaudí, often called the "House of Bones" for its skeletal, dragon-like design. The building is covered in colorful mosaics and curved lines that represent the essence of Catalan Modernism.
Gaudí’s bold, wave-shaped stone building with wrought-iron balconies and a rooftop full of sculptural chimneys. Its unconventional form and organic flow make it one of the most celebrated examples of Modernist architecture.
Step back in time as you wander through narrow cobblestone streets, Roman ruins, medieval buildings, and charming squares. Highlights include the Barcelona Cathedral (outside), Plaça del Rei, and the ancient Jewish Quarter (El Call).
A majestic Gothic cathedral that dominates the skyline of the Gothic Quarter. It features intricate carvings, flying buttresses, and a peaceful cloister with geese.
A historic square where royal ceremonies took place in medieval times. Surrounded by stone palaces and home to underground Roman ruins, it’s a key stop for understanding the city’s layered history.
One of the oldest parts of Barcelona, once home to a thriving Jewish community. Explore its maze-like alleys filled with stories, cultural memory, and traces of centuries past.
Trendy and artistic, El Born is full of artisan boutiques, local bars, galleries, and hidden alleys. It captures the creative soul of the city and is perfect for a slow stroll through culture and everyday life.
A stunning example of Catalan Gothic architecture. Known as the "Cathedral of the Sea," this church was built by the city's medieval maritime community and is loved for its graceful symmetry and beautiful stained-glass windows.
Barcelona’s most iconic street, stretching from Plaça de Catalunya to the sea. It’s lined with shops, cafés, street performers, and historic buildings — a great place to feel the pulse of the city.
A feast for the senses, this colorful market is packed with fresh produce, cured meats, seafood, and sweets. It's a perfect place to experience the local food culture and grab a snack or juice.

My experience with Amanda was awesome. She really knew the history of Barcelona. Amanda was very patient, kind and understanding. She did confirm several times if I was ok with the walk and climbing. It was such a wonderful experience.
It's a tour which involves a lot of walking. It was good for us since the weather was kind to us. We used public transport which was a lovely experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of insights on the various places we visited. We highly recommend it.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback and we are happy that you had a wonderful time on your tour.
We had an amazing guy, Raul, who was very open and provided great details, and also gave us recommendations on places. We should eat at one of the best experiences. I have had a tour with them, and I recommend booking with the company. If you get him, you'll have an amazing experience. He was very thoughtful about the older people walking, and if it was too much for them, he greatly appreciated his hospitality.
Thank you for your kind comment. We do strive to take good care of each guest that travels with us and we're glad you had a good time. Thank you.
