Overview of your Barcelona tour
On this private tour, I'll guide you through the most interesting areas of the Roman city of Barcelona, exploring historical streets & tasting some great local food. I'm not just a local tour guide, I'm also a professional chef and foodie, so you'll get the best of both worlds! I'll explain the history, legends, local curiosities & culture of this fabulous city, plus offer you a unique insight into Spanish cuisine. In 3.5 hours I'll be showing you all the major sites in the old city and, if time allows, beyond the old Roman walls. We'll walk past ancient buildings & experience the rich vibe of Barcelona. Along our tour, we'll stop at great little gems to taste local food. We'll also enter local markets and a number of historical sites. Our tour will take place mainly in the Gothic Quarter but if you have more time we can also visit other areas such as the Born neighborhood and can go as far as Barceloneta and the Old Port (let me know in advance so I can suggest a tailored and extended itinerary for you).
