Itinerary
Start your tour at the famous Ramblas, the heart of the city centre.
Enjoy this walking tour of the Old Town and visit the famous Boqueria Market, considered one of the best markets in the world because of its modernist design and the richness of products it offers.
Enjoy a walk along the must-visit Las Ramblas, probably the most famous avenue of the city, home to many bars, restaurants and shops.
At the beginning of the century, the high class of Barcelona wanted to live in the city centre. The most remarkable example of this desire is the Palau Guell, the house of the same Guell family that founded the construction of the Park Guell and the major patron of Gaudi’s work. Have a look at the facade of this private house, where a young Gaudi shows already all his talent to master the light and create beautiful shapes even with a very limited space.
Continue your walking tour to discover the Raval, the most multicultural and off the beaten path district of the Old Town, that attracts people from diverse social, cultural and geographical backgrounds. Visit the Rambla del Raval to take a picture with the enormous Cat Statue by Fernando Botero, probably the cutest statue you will ever see.
Take the Montjuic funicular and get ready for the best views of Barcelona from top. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the Montjuic Cable Car and wonderful views of Barcelona’s iconic skyline.
The Montjuic Castle has been a military fortress since its early beginning, witnessing the change of political power in the city.
The best way to admire Barcelona in all its beauty is from high above the city. This is where Barcelona reveals itself in total splendour. You can admire a 360ª views over Barcelona and, if the day is bright and clear, up to the Pyrenees.
Return to the Old Town by Cable Car: relax and enjoy the ride. Your tour ends in a very good area for some local tapas. Ask to your guide for the best spots to visit.

Katy was great what such a knowledgeable person
Pepa enthusiastically helped us discover the old town and Montjuic. A lot of knowledge and anecdotes. A nice bonus with the vivid explanations used by Pepa. It helps to understand and visualize well.
Enjoyed the experience, the sites and learning the history!!! Katty was great…even when I was the only one who couldn’t find the meeting spot, she was gracious and came and found me! 🙏
Good way to learn the history of Barcelona. Great picture opportunities from Montjuic Castle. You will get your steps for the day.
Katty was a great guide! My only recommendation is that the tour include stops for water as the distance walked is pretty far and on a hot day our water bottle got warm quickly.
Our guide for our private tour did not show. Katy was there with another group and let us join her group which was very appreciated.
Love this tour with Katty! She was very informative
