3-hour Barcelona Private City Tour

Enjoy a comprehensive overview of Barcelona's fascinating history and must-see sites with your private tour guide

ABOUT THE 3-hour Barcelona Private City Tour

This 3-hour private tour will show you Barcelona's top attractions and take you through the history of Spain's second-largest city. Your local private tour guide will take you to must-see spots such as the Gothic Quarter, Barcelona Cathedral, the Roman Necropolis, the Generalitat and much more!

 

Get ready to discover the Catalan capital, a city bursting at the seams with culture

Barcelona - one of Europe’s quirkiest cities - is home to a unique language, culture and people. Hear the tale of how the city developed from a Roman trading colony to an outpost of Islamic Iberia, before flourishing into an economic and political centre of the Mediterranean region.

Your private guide will describe the rise and fall of the Francoist dictatorship, as you immerse yourself in the medieval Gothic Quarter and El Born. You will hear about Pablo Picasso and the mark he left on Barcelona, as well as discovering architectural treasures such as King Martin’s Watchtower and the Generalitat.

Explore Barcelona at your own pace

This 3-hour private tour covers the must-see sights of Barcelona at a leisurely pace. More time with your expert local guide also means you can get great insider tips about museums, theatres, clubs or about the best local food and beers - it also affords you the chance to stop for a break or refreshments partway through.
