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 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 the top. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the Montjuic Cable Car and wonderful views of Barcelona’s iconic skyline.
Reach the Montjuic Castle to enjoy a private visit allowed only to our small group. The Montjuic Castle has been a military fortress since its early beginning, witnessing the change of political power in the city. We invite you to an exclusive visit, not opened to general public, where you will be able to enter the dungeons of the several political prisoners that have marked the history of the city.
Arise from the dungeons to the sky to 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. This is where Barcelona reveals itself in total splendor. With our exclusive visit, you will have access to the Tower of the Castle, where 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 your guide for the best spots to visit.

Pepa was a wonderful tour guide and a wealth of information. We started at the market and walked around a bit while she explained history etc. She gave us a few minutes to wander on our own and then it was up the furnicular and cable car to the castle. She provided a lot of history of castle, Barcelona and Spain. The castle was interesting and the views were spectacular. Highly recommend. It was hot when we went. Recommend purchasing a fan beforehand 😊. There was a breeze on the terrace.
It was am excelent service, Stephanie bring us to a very interesting piece of history with references, places, people from the past. I am not able to stablish what was the best, due to each step of the journey contained unforgetable details. I want to point out that Stephanie has a bag with very nice support about histoty and this made me feel confident to be with a profesional person. Talking about Stephanie qualities, from my view she is a really kind person and she makes us feel as if she were a friend from many years ago. I strongly recommend Sstephanie services at Barcelona.
Great experience overall and great guide
The guide Katy was awesome and shared lots of information about the city that we did not know yet, despite already being in Barcelona for a few days. Katy took us on a walk around the city for up to an hour, took photos for us, and then took us up to the castle. It was a great learning and fun experience!
Very informative and fun! We took frequent stops in the shade and got to see the best areas of the city!
Kathy was spectacular, she gave us an exceptional tour of the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona, Montjuïc, and the castle
