Overview

Our tour is unique because it's led by locals, avoids tourist traps, and doesn't follow a script. Ultimately, our guides, with their passion, will show you Spain like a friend or as if you were part of their family.

We choose authentic bars and adapt the pace to the group so you experience Barcelona as we do. You'll visit three of our favorite bars and wine bars on a walk through El Born, the Santa Maria del Mar area, and the Gothic Quarter to Plaça Reial, while we share stories and tips for more food and drinks afterward.

Over 2.5–3 hours, you'll enjoy generous portions of tapas and a drink at each stop. These secrets and history of Spain are summarized in a tour where you'll also taste the most traditional and culturally representative tapas in Barcelona.

We operate daily, in private groups, with departures at 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM, and 7:00 PM, from a central and easy-to-find location. But you can personalize starting time.

    This Gothic temple is one of the most important in Barcelona and was built between the 14th and 15th centuries.
  3. Barrio Gotico (Barri Gotic)
    15m
    The historic heart of Barcelona, with narrow streets and squares steeped in history.

    What you'll see: Travelers will wander through mazes of medieval streets, where they will discover historic monuments, such as the Palau de la Generalitat (seat of the Catalan government) and Barcelona City Hall. Here, they will learn about the city's rich history, from Roman times to the present day. Details will be discussed about Barcelona's ancient walls and the role the Gothic period played in the city's expansion.
  4. Placa Reial

    What you'll see: Travelers will enjoy the square's lively atmosphere, surrounded by palm trees and neoclassical buildings. This is an excellent opportunity to take a break, try some additional tapas, and, if time permits, admire Gaudí's work, such as the light fixtures he designed for the square.
