Discover Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and El Born in a small group of maximum 6 guests.
Explore hidden streets, medieval squares, Roman remains and local gems that many visitors miss. Along the way, I’ll share the history, stories and details that bring 2,000 years of Barcelona to life.
We’ll start at the spectacular Palau de la Música Catalana before exploring the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter. We’ll visit places such as Plaça Sant Felip Neri, Plaça del Rei and the remains of Roman Barcelona, including its ancient walls and the Temple of Augustus.
The experience finishes with panoramic 360° views over Barcelona — from a historic bell tower on morning tours or a rooftop viewpoint on afternoon tours.
With a maximum of just 6 guests, the tour is relaxed and personal, with plenty of time for questions and recommendations.
Please note: on morning tours, reaching the bell tower involves climbing a narrow staircase. If you prefer not to climb it, you can comfortably wait below.
