Raval is a vibrant, multicultural neighborhood that has transformed dramatically over the past 30 years. Here, you’ll find a fascinating mix of treasures: a medieval hospital where Gaudi died, shops of local designers, plenty of colorful street art, and cozy traditional tapas bars where locals love to gather. Also we’ll taste olive oil here and I’ll show you secret terrace.

La Rambla is Barcelona’s most famous boulevard – a lively, always-busy street where history, art, and street life meet. Once the heart of the city’s hippie culture, it has seen dramatic events, including multiple fires, and still keeps traces of that rebellious spirit.

La Boqueria is one of the oldest and most famous markets in Barcelona, a place where locals have been buying fresh produce for centuries. It began as an open-air market near the old city gates, and today it is considered the culinary heart of the city. Inside, you’ll find impressive rows of fresh fish and seafood, colorful fruit and vegetable stalls, jamón and cheese counters, and traditional bars where we can try typical tapas and a glass of local cava. Many renowned chefs still come here for inspiration, making it the perfect spot to experience the real flavors and vibrant food culture of Barcelona.

The Gothic Quarter is the oldest part of Barcelona, a labyrinth of narrow streets built on the remains of the ancient Roman city.

This area is filled with legends, secrets, and centuries of history, making it the perfect place to feel the authentic soul of the city.

Here we’ll explore small art studios and galleries, the oldest market in the city (Santa Caterina with its colorful wavy roof), the iconic El Born Cultural Centre (built over ancient Roman ruins), and concept stores featuring local brands and designers. This neighborhood was once the site of dramatic medieval events and today offers some of the city’s best boutiques, cafes, and hidden courtyards that capture Barcelona’s creative spirit.

Best experience in Barcelona

It was an incredibly interesting tour. Great combination of historical facts, funny facts, some cool shops, food I mean there is nothing I would like to add to this tour. Maybe I just would like to make it even longer. Thank you Lilya! I highly recommend it to everyone who is in Barcelona.

Fantastic Private Tour in Barcelona

I just had a private tour in Barcelona with Liliia, and it was the best day of my whole trip. She helped me plan everything and made it perfect for me. We saw all the famous sights but also found some hidden gems. Liliia showed us around cool neighborhoods like Raval, the Gothic Quarter, and El Born. She shared a lot of interesting history and told great stories that made it really fun. A nice part of the tour was visiting an art gallery that Liliia picked out. I found some pieces I really liked. She was super helpful and made sure I had a great time. I enjoyed the experience so much that I already booked another tour with Liliia to explore more wine and galleries. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone going to Barcelona—Liliia is fantastic!

Highly recommend it

This tour with friends was absolutely incredible! It wasn’t just the typical sightseeing – we explored unique spots like local designer shops, a hidden vine bar, and even did an olive oil tasting, which was a nice surprise. We also stopped at an art gallery. The guide was super friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience fun and engaging. Nothing felt rushed or boring. It was one of the best ways to experience Barcelona’s local vibe, and we all had a blast! Highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience in Barcelona

It was a fantastic experience! Our guide Lilya made the day super flexible, taking us to major sites like the Gothic Quarter and some cool hidden spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. We loved the street art, fun stories about the city’s past, and getting a real feel for local life. The tapas break was a nice touch, and the whole day felt relaxed but packed with memorable experiences. Would definitely recommend for a nice day in Barcelona!

Awesome and unique way to explore Barcelona

One day tour with Liliia is really awesome and unique way to explore for those who are for the first time here and those who have already been in Barcelona. For me that was the second time and Liliia created a tour especially for me. I saw places which I haven’t seen before. We had lunch in a very beautiful place with typical food. Lilya showed me very interesting shops, a lot of art, hidden corners where only locals go. I had a very comprehensive experience. And Lilya is a super nice person, I felt like I was walking with a friend.
