Itinerary
Start your tour at the famous Ramblas, the heart of the city centre.
Enjoy this walking tour of the Old Town and visit the famous Boqueria Market, considered one of the best markets in the world because of its modernist design and the richness of products it offers.
At the beginning of the century, the high class of Barcelona wanted to live in the city centre. The most remarkable example of this desire is the Palau Guell, the house of the same Guell family that founded the construction of the Park Guell and the major patron of Gaudi’s work. Have a look at the facade of this private house, where a young Gaudi shows already all his talent to master the light and create beautiful shapes even with a very limited space.
Continue your walking tour to discover the Raval, the most multicultural and off the beaten path district of the Old Town, that attracts people from diverse social, cultural and geographical backgrounds. Visit the Rambla del Raval to take a picture with the enormous Cat Statue by Fernando Botero, probably the cutest statue you will ever see.
Take the Montjuic funicular and get ready for the best views of Barcelona from top. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the Montjuic Cable Car and wonderful views of Barcelona’s iconic skyline.
Reach the Montjuic Castle to enjoy a private visit allowed only to our small group. The Montjuic Castle has been a military fortress since its early beginning, witnessing the change of political power in the city. We invite you to an exclusive visit, not opened to general public, where you will be able to enter the dungeons of the several political prisoners that have marked the history of the city.
Arise from the dungeons to the sky to admire a bird’s eye view of Barcelona and its surroundings. The best way to admire Barcelona in all its beauty is from high above the city. This is where Barcelona reveals itself in total splendour. With our exclusive visit, you will have access to the Tower of the Castle, where you can admire a 360ª views over Barcelona. Take the unique chance to shoot your best pictures of Barcelona at sunset time.
Continue your tour visiting the Olympic Barcelona. Pass by the Olympic Stadium and the Palau Sant Jordi, famous for hosting the best concerts in town.
Pass by the Fundació Joan Miró, created by Miró himself, at first principally with works from his own private collection and with a desire to set up an internationally recognised centre in Barcelona for Miró scholarship and contemporary art research.
Along the way, stop at one of the best terraces in the area to savour traditional tapas paired with a local wine or beer.
After your break, get ready to assist to the enchanting show of the Magic Fountain. It was constructed for the 1929 Universal Exhibition and was meant to be a temporary installation, but the visitors and the people of Barcelona loved it so much that decided to keep it. We are sure that you will get fascinated too by the colourful dancing water of the fountain that every night creates magic in Barcelona. **ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN DAYS**
Have a bird-eye view of Plaça d'Espanya, one of Barcelona's most important squares, built on the occasion of the 1929 International Exhibition, held at the foot of Montjuïc, in the Sants-Montjuïc district.
If you wish, you can enjoy great views of the show from the terrace of the Arenas, a former bullfighting arena nowadays transformed into a Shopping Centre where you find also plenty of options for your dinner and close to the main public transports.

Montserrat(Montse) was our guide and from the very beginning she was so nice, welcoming, and of course informative. It didn’t feel like just another tour with a guide but a friend was showing you around. She knew so much and gave so many details about everything. Truly happy she was our guide. She even gave us some recommendations for restaurants to check out, one of which we went to immediately after and I’m so glad we did, it was delicious!
We had an amazing time with Montse on this tour. She was very kind, funny and informative. Our tour was a group tour, but it still felt like a private tour. We met some nice ladies from Wisconsin and we talked about traveling, some politics and of course, the history of the city. The funicular ride is fairly quick and the cable car views were incredible and fairly easygoing as long as there aren’t strong winds. Montse recommended we try the little bar/cafe across the street from the entrance to the cable car. We had patatas bravas, bocadillo and sangrias. It was SO GOOD easily one of the best things we’ve had in Barcelona. We highly recommend this tour, we got to see some amazing views and learned some more amazing history of this great city.
Great trip! Our guide, Montse, was so knowledgeable and friendly, and she made absolutely sure we got the most out of everything. Would definitely recommend.
We enjoyed our tour so much. Our tour guide Stephanie was a joy to be around and we really enjoyed being with her. She had a lot of knowledge about the area and went above and beyond. Very passionate about the architecture and history of Barcelona. We had a couple that needed to go a little slower. She always made sure that they were ok and asked if they needed to sit. This tour was a walking tour which we love to do as you get to see more of the city that way. The walk was pretty easy for us. Had a few sets of stairs, but there were elevators available at most places for those that needed them. There was 1 spot that they weren’t available as it was to get to the top area of the Montjuic Castle. We had a group of 10 total in the tour. All of us got along really well and we found out that everyone was going on a cruise later this week. Some even going on the same cruise as us. We ended with tapas and a drink at the art museum right above the Magic Fountain Show. We had croquettes and patatas bravas and they were delicious. We stayed to watch the Magic Fountain Show after the tour was over. It was at 9 pm. Everything was included in the tour. We didn’t have to pay for anything unless we wanted something extra when we were eating tapas. I would recommend Stephanie and this tour!
Stephanie was an amazing tour guide. She had so much knowledge and took excellent care of all of us. She knew I was traveling solo and even walked me to the metro, showed me what train to get on and even checked to make sure I made it safely to my hotel. I would highly recommend this tour and any tour Stephanie was the guide on.
Katty is very professional and knowlegeable. She is very clear and detailed. She is very attentive on questions and looks after the group. Thank You.
Our tour guide Katty of IN OUT Barcelona was so friendly and accommodating. It was a great experience touring the places.
Learning experience and very hospitable tourist guide Katty.
Montse was our guide and she was outstanding! Would book ANY tour with her. Her knowledge is amazing. She made sure we understood the history and the key items of greatest importance.
Our guide Montse was amazing. From her moment we met her she made us feel like family. She explained the history of the Gothic Quarter and told us about some great local shops. The trip to the castle was seamless and she navigated the way there effortlessly. We would have been lost without her. Along the way she explained the history and culture of each area and also provided great tips to get the most out of our trip. She took us to all the important places in the castle and explained everything in amazing detail. She was also very engaging and informative through our casual conversation. Lastly, she gave us many recommendations for authentic food in the city. If you're booking this tour, please ask for Montse. She's the absolute best!!
I had a private tour with Montse. She was well prepared and knew so much history about the area. Her artistic soul was a great match for me since we are both art historians. She also went above and beyond to give recommendations and suggestions about where to eat, what to see, and how to be a wise tourist. She was lovely!
Montse was our guide for the Barcelona Cable Car Sky Views, Magic Fountain & Castle Visit, and she was absolutely extraordinary! Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable, but her passion for Barcelona’s history truly brought the city to life. She shared fascinating historical details and stories that made the experience so much more meaningful and memorable. Her enthusiasm, expertise, and ability to make history engaging made this tour a highlight of our time in Barcelona. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! If you’re considering this tour, we highly recommend Montse. She made the entire experience truly special.

Crowd size was good and she was organized
Pepa was an absolute delight. So very knowledgeable and friendly. Not only did she lead a wonderful tour, she also assisted in taking some great pictures for us. She was very patient with answering any and all questions asked and took the time to keep pace with all participants in the group. This tour covered quite a bit of distance but at no time did it feel rushed or pressured.
A great tour knowledgeable guide with good language skills. She has a lot of energy and treated us very well. She was. Definitely worth a five star review.
A lot of walking but way interesting. Way infirmative.
Kathy handled the group wonderfully and shared her passion the city's history with a lot of energy.
We had a wonderful time on our Montjuïc Cable Car & Castle Private Tour. The pick-up and drop-off points were well chosen. Our tour guide, Montse, was caring, attentive, informative and engaging. From her familiarity with Barcelona, she provided insights and suggestions that went beyond just the tour. A delightful experience.
There was an extreme amount of walking involved which was not disclosed. One member in the group really struggled which slowed the pace of the tour .
Wonderful time seeing the sights. My mom and I learned a lot about the history of Barcelona from our guide, Pepa. She was so sweet and answered all the questions we had. Really enjoyed the views from up top.
Very good experience, guide very precise and helpfull
The tour was wonderful. Katty was an awesome guide. Very knowledgeable and very personable. The tour is long and a lot of walking but well worth it. Barcelona at night is beautiful. You get to see views that you wouldn’t normally see. We had 12 people in our group and it was perfect. Well worth your money. The cable car was a blast.
We had such a fun and amazing experience with Katy as our tour guide! She really knew the city of Barcelona well and you can tell her passion and love for this city as she shared the history and beauty of all that Barcelona offers! We would 10/10 recommend this tour with Katy as your guide!
Amazing tour and an awesome tour guide! From start to finish was amazing! 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Katty was an amazing guide. Had a wonderful time.
Our tour guide Montse was very good and we had a great and informative time. The views at Montjuic were amazing.
José Carlos was Amazing thanks for the Tour !
Montse was an incredible guide and was very accommodating and willing to be flexible given our changing travel constraints. We had a wonderful tour around Barcelona, skipped all the lines and had a hassle-free experience, and even our two jet lagged kids were very impressed! She was incredible and I would recommend this tour 10 out of 10 to everyone.
Katie was a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and had a great ability to explain the history in a contemporary way. The experience was great from the beginning to the end.
Loved it! Tapas, views, and Montjuic
The experience was incredibly amazing! José Carlos was exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and accommodating. Very attentive and mind you we are group of 8 women! He kept us engaged and a great story teller. He maintained the safety of the whole group! He also gave us a list of restaurants to try after the tour! Highly recommended for anyone who likes to enjoy a wonderful experience of Montjuic.
Katy was incredible! She gave us such an amazing tour with a lot of great information. She showed us the beautiful gems from below and above. Her attention to detail was amazing. I am so grateful for her. She even made sure we knew how to get to our final destination. It was a magical day. Thank you.
It was a beautiful tour. Katy was spectacular from start to finish. I was a bit nervous we wouldn’t find her at the right meeting place but she communicated beautifully and all was well. She gave us the best experience and made sure to show us everything she could. I enjoyed spending the afternoon with her and I appreciated her attention to detail. She stayed with us for the fountain show and made sure to tell us all the ways we can return to our final destination. It was such an amazing experience!
Great tour! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience fun and enjoyable. Beautiful sights, great information, and wonderful memories. Highly recommend!

Amazing,stunning views. Stephanie our guide(outstanding),really informative,friendly and looked after everyone. Loved learning about the history of barcelona/Montjuic. Thankyou for a brilliant experience
The tour of Montjuïc was excellent. Our guide, Montse, went into great detail in explaining all the history and background related to our visit. The tour lasted just the right amount of time—long enough to see the castle and explore the surrounding area, as well as take in all the information Montse shared with us. She was very invested in explaining the history of our attraction and also gave locations and tips to guide us during the rest of our vacation. Super grateful for her!!
Nice tour of Montjuic Castle. Small group of 5pax including guide…Guide was knowledgeable & friendly.
Montse knows her facts and it was very interesting to learn so much in just one visit! She kept us entertained . Very nice visit Beautiful views
Great time, with a great guide
Montse was not only a fantastic tour guide she kept our family safe at all times!!!! She is very knowledgeable about the history, culture and answered all of our questions. Bonus: she gave us lots of restaurant recommendations and they were all excellent. Book with her, you will not be disappointed.
Pepper was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together and the information shared helped us to understand BCN further. Thank you for the lovely afternoon, organising snacks and drinks. Dean and Glenn.
Montse was a great guide! She was so knowledgeable and helpful. We had a private tour with just our family and she touched on history and art that were especially meaningful to our family. I highly recommend Montse and this tour.
Great! Guide even made time for us to eat. I love Katy!
The best tour guide. We enjoyed Kathy. She made our day special. It made our last day perfect.
Katy rules. So much fun. And time to hang out!
Stephanie was a fantastic guide - so knowledgeable of the wide scope of history plus the interesting "insider" facts that make it come to life! It was only our family on the tour - seven of us ranging in age from 6-67; Stephanie made it interesting for all of us, and really made extra efforts to keep our 6yo engaged. This is a wide-ranging tour - as it was, we all clocked way more than 20,000 steps. This could easily be two tours - one of the Las Ramblas-El Raval, another of Montjuic/Olympic/Fountains. I think that timing/step/tapas-wise that would be two better tours. But if you want to see (and get a flavor of) Barcelona in one afternoon/evening, this fits the bill! And lucky for us, the Fountains are back running, and we ended the tour with a spectacular display!
