The Barcelona Feeling
Meeting point
We will meet in front of the pharmacy La Pedrera. It is on the corner of the street.
Description
Immerse with us into captivating legends from the past that can be seen everywhere in the city once you know them. Understand how architects like Gaudí were inspired by them and left a lasting impact on Barcelona.
Why is there a dragon on the roof top? Why was a bat decisive in a battle? Where is the House of Bones? What´s the legend behind the Catalan flag? How to put this into the context of the current independence movement?
During the two-hours walk we will make the connection from medieval Catalan history and legends to what inspired Gaudí and other architects when designing the residential buildings along the grand boulevard of Passeig de Gracia. From street pavement to lamp posts – all have a story that we want to tell you!
If you love history brought to life by passionate storytellers and you want to enjoy the intimacy of a small group then this is your experience. After these two hours you will discover details you have not noticed before. See the city with different eyes!
In demand: 49 of the next 49 departures are already sold out.

A different perspective on Barcelona's architecture, including Gaudi and beyond
Michael was our very professional and respectful guide.
We started in front of La Pedrera. There, and at every building we visited, he told us very interesting stories, both architectural and historical, with colorful commentary illustrating the anecdotes behind each building, popular streets, and even lampposts.
It was a very unique tour to meet Barcelona's most famous architects, beyond the master Gaudí.
The two hours flew by without us even noticing, despite the heat.
He was a pleasure to work with.

Great private walking tour
Excellent walking tour with Michael as our guide. We were able to learn more about the history of Barcelona, Gaudí and other architects that designed interesting buildings.
Michael kept us involved in the tour by asking us questions about what we saw in buildings. Our tour was casual, like walking with a friend.
Definitely would recommend.

Highly recommended. Time is taken to dwell on buildings so that you really understand what has been built. Very nice host who knows a lot about things. Next time in Barcelona we will go back for the chocolate tour.

A great Barcelona experience
We had an amazing experience walking around Barcelona admiring the beautiful architecture of Barcelona, the rich history of Barcelona and learning about the stories of the architects and how they created these masterpieces. We were fortunate enough to be the only people on tour that day with Michael, so we could completely tailor the tour to fit our needs. We got some great insights and stories of that time. This tour helped enrich our overall Barcelona experience I’d surely be recommending them to anyone
