Barcelona from an architectural point of view! My name is Laura, a local architect in Barcelona! I was born and raised in this wonderful city so I know every corner of it; get lost in Gothic and Born narrow streets, get delighted by Gaudí's unique architecture, or enjoy some tapas and traditional "Vermut" in the local neighborhood of Gracia's. Moreover, I can share a lot about Catalan and Spanish culture, traditions, history, and of course, architecture! I can personalize the tour for you depending on your interests. I can provide you with information from local traditions to local restaurants, chill rooftop bars, or hidden gems in tourist and non-tourist areas. Already as a student, I started to become very passionate about the history & architecture in this city and had the opportunity to work in places such as Sagrada Familia or Gran Teatre del Liceu. Some years later, I went to study and work abroad in Sweden, Belgium, and France and that's why I speak French and a little bit of Swedish. In 2016, after this experience abroad I decided to come back to my hometown and develop my passion for showing the city to visitors, which I really enjoy, together with my architecture profession. I consider myself an open-minded person and I love getting to know new people and sharing stories about different cultures. In my tours, you will have both, a local perspective and an architect's point of view and we can combine it with some tapas, wine tasting, or excursions outside Barcelona. Hope to meet you very soon so I can show you my Barcelona! - Master Degree in Architecture (Barcelona, 2012) - Tourism Studies (Barcelona, 2016) - English Language Advanced Level (C1) (2016) - I prefer not to drive during tours. We can use public transportation (metro, taxi) or I can arrange a private car or a minivan with a driver. - I will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments.

Is it your first day in Barcelona or you just have a few hours to explore the city? This tour is the perfect way to get to know the history of Barcelona in a walking tour in the Old City of Barcelona (Gothic and Born quarters) ending up in a relaxed and chill way. Do you know that Barcelona is a city with more than 2000 years of history? In this tour you would be able to walk along the streets where the first locals founded Barcino, the roman name for the old Barcelona. Moreover, you will get to know about the Spanish Civil War, how the Spanish Empire grew through the centuries and became so powerful, you will be in the Palace where Columbus raised the funds to start his famous expedition, and also understand why the 11th of September is so important in Catalonia. The tour will end in the trendy neighborhood of El Born with a completely private and exclusive experience where you would be able to taste exclusive 3 local wines together with a selection of 4 local cheeses. It will be time to relax and enjoy!
This was such a perfect tour, and Laura was a wonderful guide! Her knowledge of the area was extensive, and the pace of the tour was very comfortable. We visited a lovely wine and cheese restaurant where we were very warmly welcomed by the host and treated to a delicious selection of wines and local cheeses. Overall, a perfect experience that we highly recommend!
Laura is an amazing guide. Her stories brought the history of Barcelona to life. Thank you so much!
Laura did an amazing job customizing this tour for my group to include a fantastic guided wine tasting experience in a lovely wine bar, and a delicious group dinner location after our walking tour. Wonderful job!
The tour will be organized in a chronological historical immersion meanwhile you would be walking along the narrow streets full of history and anecdotes. The main spots that you will be visiting would be: • Barcelona's Cathedral • Gothic quarters • Sant Felip Neri square • Roman Barcelona • Jewish quarters • Plaça Sant Jaume (Barcelona's City Hall) • Plaça del Rei • Santa Maria del Mar • El Born Centre cultural • Completely private and exclusive wine and cheese experience At the end, it will be time to relax and you will have the opportunity to ask everything you want to know; from hidden spots to visit in Barcelona out of the tourists tracks, to how do the Spanish and Catalan people live daily or any other topic you want to explore further. Moreover, at the end of the tour, I will give you a list of selected and recommended restaurants for your time in Barcelona. Everything in a personalized, fun and easy going way to explore Barcelona!
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
The tour will be done entirely on foot as it will be the best way to maximize the highlights of the old city due to its narrow streets that are not accessible by vehicles. The route can be adapted to multiple types of rhythms and physical conditions. Please, ask me if this is the case! :)
