Overview of your Barcelona tour

Are you new in town? You don't know where to start? I designed this tour about 10 years ago when I was starting to create my own tours. Since then, I have shown Barcelona to thousands of people and this tour is one of the most appreciated. You will visit some of the most emblematic sites of the city. And when you finish the tour, you will have that pleasant feeling, of have visited a lot of interesting things and have learned a lot about the city. On this tour you will visit in the main sites of Barcelona. You will see the beautiful exteriors of some Gaudi buildings like " Casa Batlló" and "La Pedrera". You will be impressed with Passeig de Gracia, the most luxurious boulevard in Barcelona. After we will go to Las Ramblas, the famous tree-lined avenue with its cafes and shops. You will lead you through narrow streets where you will discover shops full of history. A perfect tour to newcomers!

Jose was terrific and gave us the most amazing tour of Barcelona! It was definitely a first rate experience and we would recommend him to anyone who wants to see this amazing city on foot!

Jose is a gem. He met us at our hotel and lead the way down Las Ramblas. We asked about a few special interests and he lead us exactly where we wanted to go...a bit off the beaten path. The subway/metro was supposed to be clean, safe, and user-friendly.....so we asked for a brief lesson on tickets and the ins and outs of public transit so we could navigate on our own. He made us experts! The Ganiveteria knife shop was a bonus in the Gothic Quarter (for two people who love to cook) and we went back the next day! The heat was brutal, we were fading and asked for a place to get a cold drink to just talk. Jose led us to the lower level of El Corte Ingles and it was a mecca of gourmet food and drink. We sat and talked about health care, education, the economy, even a bit of politics and just shared our backgrounds, families and the stuff that makes us human! To us, those issues are as important as names, dates, and events in history. Jose was a delight!

José gave us an excellent introduction to Barcelona and it was the ideal first tour of the city. The itinerary was very well judged, combining the major landmarks with quieter streets and hidden corners that we would never have discovered on our own. His explanations were clear, informative and well paced, and he gave a strong sense not only of the architecture and history, but also of the character of the different neighbourhoods. We particularly enjoyed the contrast between the energy of Las Ramblas and the atmosphere of the Gothic Quarter. José also handled the tour very naturally, adapting the pace well and making the experience feel relaxed rather than rushed. A highly enjoyable and thoughtful introduction to Barcelona, especially for a first visit.

Jose was great! It was pouring for most of the tour and Jose helped us roll with the punches. We also had two kids (10 and 12) and he made the tour interesting for them. Definitely recommend!

Jose was a wonderful guide! He took us on a walking tour of Barcelona explaining her history and architecture as we walked. Jose also took us “ off the beaten path” and showed us some beautiful streets and squares. Lastly, at our request, amended the itinerary to include Sagrada Familia. The pace of the tour was perfect and Jose answered all our questions.

Jose did a wonderful job of taking us through Barcelona! We saw everything we hoped to and many of his favorite unexpected places as well! We are excited to build upon the places he showed us as we continue our exploration of this magically city this week. Thank you Jose!!
