I designed this tour about 10 years ago when I was starting to create my own tours.
Since then, I have shown Barcelona to thousands of people and this tour is one of the most appreciated.
You will visit some of the most emblematic sites of the city.
And when you finish the tour, you will have that pleasant feeling of having visited a lot of interesting things and have learned a lot about the city.

On this tour, you will visit the main sites of Barcelona. You will see the beautiful exteriors of some Gaudi buildings like " Casa Batlló" and "La Pedrera".

After we will go to Las Ramblas, the famous tree-lined avenue with its cafes and shops. You will lead you through narrow streets where you will discover shops full of history.
