Overview of your Barcelona tour

Would you like to see the best of the city from a comfortable Mercedes van? Gaudis buildings -including Sagrada Familia- Gothic and Jewish Quarter, Roman remains and views of the city in an exclusive 4 hour tour. I started guiding during the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992 which was a crucial turning point for the city. Before then, Barcelona was considered to be turning its back to the sea. The Games opened up the city and the beaches and the seafront became a new charming area. Today Barcelona offers the best of a vibrant Mediterranean culture which I'm glad to share with the newcomers. Let me show it to you! Transfers to Airport and Cruise Terminal included. You can comfortably leave your luggage in the van supervised by the driver while touring the sights with me. A full Panoramic Tour with several stop-over on the way. After that, I could drop you in a nice restaurant where you could enjoy a lovely Mediterranean meal. I'll be glad give you advice so you can better organize the rest of your tim
