    See the most emblematic sights the city has to offer as you start with a walking tour of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona.

You’ll then have some free time to explore on your own then meet your guide again to continue the walking tour.

Follow your guide to Plaça Catalunya to board an air-conditioned coach for a panoramic tour through the city. Drive through Passeig de Gràcia and admire the most popular Gaudi Houses, Casa Batlló, and Casa Milà (La Pedrera), noticing some of the most important modernist facades as you go.   Next, listen to your guide’s explanations as you drive near the sea to discover the changes to the coastline of Barcelona for the Olympic Games in 1992.

    Engaging and amazing experience

    Guide was very engaging and insightful about all the places especially around La Rambla and the way to Cathedral of Barcelona. Throws in a joke now and then just to keep the group engaged. Amazing views when riding the cable car on Montjuic (3 station ride, Centre --> Bottom --> Top). Also, the olympic village, stadium can be seen on the way down.

    This tour provides an interesting overview of Barcelona.

    The tour guide, Cecilia, was amazing. Cecilia was a very professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly young woman. She did an excellent job of explaining what we were seeing and providing the background about the attraction. She tried very hard to work around an obstacle (bike marathon) that would make the tour easier for the participants. Cecilia's knowledge and enthusiasm made this an excellent experience. It was very clear that sharing her knowledge was a passion for Cecilia.

    Tour was OK, would have liked a little bit more time on the mountain.

    The tour guide didn't speak very fluent English, so occationally it was a bit difficult to follow the descriptions. The tour covered most of the interesting spots, and is a good start for identifying things to re-visit. The visit to Montjuic was a bit short, we would have liked to spend 20-30 minutes there, instead we got off the bus and almost immediately boarded the cable car down again. But in all the tour was worth the time and money.
