Overview of your Barcelona tour
We start the tour by visiting Gaudi's masterpiece, the breathtaking Sagrada Familia, where you will feel like in a stone forest, surrounded by nature. It's a church like you have never seen before From Sagrada Familia, I am taking you to Park Güell, another incredible work by Gaudi. It is like a fairy tale with the gingerbread houses that adorn the entrance and the colorful bench made of broken tiles. We will stop for lunch to taste some of the most traditional and delicious tapas in the Born neighborhood, an old fishermen's quarter, famous for its restaurants and entertainment venues. The last part of the tour is a walk through the Gothic quarter, the old walled city, where we will find the Cathedral, and the Royal Palace, and narrow alleys will lead us to the Rambla, one of the most famous streets of the city and where we will find the Boqueria market, which we can visit. Welcome to my Barcelona, a city with a unique atmosphere, great history, architecture, and culture. Simply irresistible!

¡Mari Carmen fue excelente! Pudimos aprovechar nuestro día al máximo gracias a Mari Carmen. Visitamos el Parc Güell, la Sagrada Familia y el Barrio gótico. Excelentes sus explicaciones y conocimiento de todas las atracciones. Nuestro grupo era de 8 personas incluyendo 3 adolescentes y una abuela; supo mantener entretenidos a los chicos y con paciencia esperando por la abuela subiendo y bajando en el camino. La recomendación de almuerzo y gelato durante el tour fueron excelentes. Nos ayudó a reservar un show de flamenco en la noche que disfrutamos mucho. Sin dudas 5 estrellas.
Nadine P.United States
Maria is the perfect guide. She has great knowledge and personality. She covered everything we'd hoped to see and experience in Barcelona.
Kelly B.United States
This tour was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Mari was absolutely wonderful! She was so knowledgeable and friendly and had everything planned - all the tickets we needed, lunch at a nice tapas restaurant and all the must see places in Barcelona. Everywhere we went, we could just walk to the front of the line with her and get into the venue. We wished we had booked more private tours like this one in other areas. I would recommend this 6 hour tour with Mari to anyone.
Paul K.United States
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Mari. We were a group of 2 seniors with 2 teenagers and she kept the tour relevant for all of us. Timing for the various stops was spot on. We moved from stop to stop via taxis and despite a slight hiccup with one of the taxis ( it overheated) Mari resolved the problem nd we resumed the tour post haste. Choice of tapas restaurant was very good. Her knowledge of the area is very good as are communiation skills. Absolutel recommend her for your next tour.
Sheree S.United States
Mari was excellent! She provided the history of the city and was able to answer so many of our questions that related to culture, religion and demographics of the country. We got a true sense of Barcelona and the individual attention of our own personal tour guide. Such a wonderful experience!!!!
