Itinerary

Begin your day with pickup from your Barcelona accommodations, then travel by private vehicle to Montjuic. From the hilltop viewpoint, take in panoramic views over the Old Town and the Barcelona coastline, and pass major landmarks such as the Olympic Stadium and Palau Sant Jordi.

Continue downhill toward the waterfront, and see key sites along the harbor area, including the World Trade Center, the historic Drassanes, and the Columbus Monument. In Port Vell, switch to a walking pace to explore the Gothic Quarter, following narrow streets through the historic heart of the city.

The route continues along Via Laietana, where remnants of Barcelona’s Roman past are visible, before moving into the Modernist districts along Passeig de Gracia. Pass notable buildings such as La Pedrera, Casa Batllo, Casa Lleo, and Casa Ametller as your guide provides context on the city’s architectural evolution.

Drive through the Eixample neighborhood to see its distinctive grid layout, then conclude the tour with a stop at La Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudi’s most recognizable work.

After the final visit, return by private vehicle to your hotel, where the tour ends.

Great trip and guide

TERRY_S, Mar 2026

Joris, was an amazing guide. We were able to fit so much into just one day. We were picked up from our hotel in a clean new van and provided with great information about the city. I would love to do a nother trip with him anytime.

Great way to see the city highlights!

Michelle_M, Mar 2026

This is an amazing tour! You get to see the city overall, spend time in both the new and older portions of they city! Pablo was our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable about the city, took us to several places we would never have found on our own and overall provided the best experience!

Very prompt. Very helpful. Good driver. Nice transportation.

Belinda_V, May 2025

Very reliable. Good driver. Very good contact. Friendly. Good communication. The people spoke very clearly.

Stopped by Police during the tour

Kitty_S, Oct 2024

There are NO memorable moments. The tour was stopped by the police because the guide and the minivan was not licensed. My clients had to get off the bus and walk back to their hotel. They never got to see any of the highlights like Gaudi's cathedral and houses which was the main attraction. i tried calling the operator but they did not answer the 'phone. This is shocking service and a terrible disappointment and inconveniece for my clients. Don't book this tour!

Thanks Tao, a good guide makes the experience for a great tour!

Desta_L, Jul 2023

Gothic Quarter was favorite part of tour, but guide Tao, was great. Good with every one in our group. Age's 5 to Age 78.

We had an outstanding tour with our guide, Gaspar. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We had one afternoon to spend in Barcelona and Gaspar made it memorable. Highly recommend this tour with Gaspar. He made suggestions of things we might like abs he went above and beyond.

Amazing private tour of Barcelona

Vasant_J, Aug 2019

We had the most amazing day with our guide German. Everything was terrific he was so accommodating, he customized the tour based on our interests. We walked around every sight and he explained in great detail everythung that we could possibly want to know. He had an amazing sense of humor and even dropped us off for lunch after we were finished. By far our favorite tour and tour guide we took in Europe. Highly recommend to any and all 10/10.
