Spend about seven hours with a small group, walking Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and riding between selected sights by private transport. Your guide covers Montjuïc and Gaudí’s architecture, then you explore Park Güell and Sagrada Família independently with included tickets. Lunch is at your own expense. Guides on this tour have included Angie, Oriol and Nacho.

“Nacho did a wonderful job on the tour, guiding us through the various parts of the Gothic Quarter. He explained the history of the area and was very informative. Our ride to Montjuic allowed us a great stop with panoramic views of the city. We went on to the Park Guell, a gem of architecture mixed with nature! Finally our stop at the Sagrada Familia left us astounded at the wonderful design and continued refinement to the structure. Overall it was a wonderful full-day tour and I would likely recommend it and our tour guide, Nacho.”
