Luca’s Hidden Old Barcelona: the Gothic and El Born Tour

4.9
(66 reviews)

2 hours 15 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

This is a one-man band, every single walk is run by me. No surprises, no cheating. I have a degree in history and English literature.

English has been my main working language for 25 years. I have lived and run tours for more than 20 years in Italy, London, Berlin and Barcelona. The Berlin Wall, the six wives of Henry VIII, Michelangelo and Gaudi have no secrets for me.

I have also travelled extensively throughout Spain and the world, so I am bringing a unique perspective of this wonderful planet and this enchanting city. And last but not the least, I do also have a healthy addiction to books that feeds a truly compelling and passionate storytelling
