Very cool tour. I like that we had ‘free’ time, in a couple shops we stopped by, to get a closer look and explore. It was very crowded in the area (Saturday Night) which made it a little hard to hear thru the personal earbuds, but not much you can do about it. I did like the energy of the area. Guide (can’t recall his name) was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. The tapas and flamenco show at the end (I highly recommend this add-on) was fantastic!

It is one of the largest squares in Spain and one of the most important places in Barcelona, the Plaza de Catalunya, which has an area of 30,000 square meters.
We will go down one of the most beautiful and famous streets in the city, Las Ramblas, this street goes down through flower and souvenir stalls until we reach the old port of the city by the sea.
This fountain was one of the gateways to Barcelona when it was a walled city. Today it has a ceramic decoration that reflects an everyday scene from eighteenth-century Barcelona
We will pass under one of the most photographed elements of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona. We will know the secrets it hides and we can take pictures under it
This plaza is the current administrative and political center of the city. Here we find the town hall, and the Palau de la Generalitat. In Roman times, two great communication routes of the city crossed here: the Cardo and the Decumanus.
In the center of the Gothic Quarter, there is the Barcelona Cathedral. It was built on the foundations of the original early Christian basilica, and the later Romanesque Cathedral, and is Gothic in style.
Once the tour is over, you can taste a typical tapas with a drink in this bar, provided you have chosen the option.
Experience the passion of flamenco with a live show in an authentic flamenco theater, one of the most emblematic traditions in Spain.

Laura was a wonderful guide, she was very friendly, knowledgeable and patient, perfect tour for our first day in Barcelona.
Nice group of folks from all over attended the walk. The tour guide was awesome. The tapas and refreshments at the end were great.
Enrique is fantastic. Probably the best tour we’ve done, ever. Knowledgeable about everything! From local lore to history about BC. Answered a lot of questions. It’s a must-do tour for people who want to learn about the deep beautiful history of Barcelona and Catalonya. We were sad when we got to the tapas because that meant it was over!
Enrique was amazing! So much knowledge and information was shared. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and great with extra questions.

Montserrat was an amazing tour guide. She was friendly, charming and highly astute in her knowledge of the city. We learned so much more than we thought we would. We would recommend this tour, and specifically to her, to quite literally everyone we would come across. She was particularly studied in the layers of Barclonetan history across the ages and how it has all culminated into present day. Additionally, she provided amazing recommendations that we plan to utilize the rest of our trip. Absolutely one of a kind tour guide!

I couldn't have asked for a better tour guide than Laura. She was incredibly informative, honest and friendly.
