Embark on a private walking journey through the heart of Barcelona’s medieval Gothic Quarter, where every stone holds a story. As we wander through its narrow streets and hidden squares, I’ll guide you through layers of history — from Roman foundations nearly 2,000 years ago to the splendor and power of the medieval Crown of Aragon. We’ll pass through the former Jewish Quarter, where I share the powerful and emotional story of the expulsion of the Jewish community at the end of the 15th century. Along the way, you’ll discover local traditions, cultural details, and even a glimpse into Catalan gastronomy — with time to pause for a small, delicious bite if you wish. I truly love history, and what fascinates me most is how this neighborhood allows you to travel through centuries within just a few steps. Many of my travelers tell me my passion for Barcelona is contagious — and I hope you’ll feel it too.
Florenta was an exceptional tour guide in every way. Her expansive knowledge, clear explanations, invaluable advice, and, most important, her warmth and personality made our two days with her the highlight of our trip to Portugal and Spain. Wherever we went, she guided us with warmth and expertise, sheltering us from crowds, finding taxis, and providing an intellectually stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable experience in her beloved city of Barcelona.
I wish I could rate it higher. What an amazing experience. Florenta was so kind, so accommodating and so knowledgeable. She was always watching out for us. We loved sharing her amazing culture, incredible local foods and delicious wines. Can’t wait to visit and tour with her again soon.
We have used Tours by Locals many times through the years and Florenta is our all-time favorite guide! She guided us on a comprehensive walking tour of Barcelona 7 years ago and when we returned last month, Florenta crafted a tour based on our interests. She is extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, energetic, and friendly. She introduced us to an area of Barcelona we wouldn't have known about for a very unique shopping experience. We LOVED our time with Florenta and highly recommend her for all things Barcelona! Thank you Florenta!!
THE BEST TOUR EVER!!! Seriously! Florenta kept our entire family excited and engaged, ages 54-15 with varied interests and personalities. She has a WEALTH of knowledge and is charismatic and thoughtful and fun for any group! I honestly felt like she was an old friend in no time. We enjoyed every second and our only regret is that we did not have bookings lined up with her the rest of our stay! I HIGHLY recommend Florenta to everyone!!
