About this tour
A nine-and-a-half-hour private tour covering Barcelona's architectural landmarks and neighbourhoods, from the Gothic Quarter through to Gaudí's masterworks.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at your hotel in the morning and you move through the city on foot and by private car. The Old Town's narrow streets give way to sweeping vistas from Montjuïc, then you pivot toward the modernist quarter where Gaudí's buildings dominate. Lunch is a proper paella, not rushed. The Sagrada Familia tour arrives mid-afternoon when crowds thin slightly; expect standing and looking up a lot. You'll cover roughly 15–20 kilometres across the day, though much of it is by transport. Most stops involve climbing stairs or walking uneven ground.
