What you’ll do

This personalized experience with one of our super friendly hosts will be like spending the day with a close friend, exploring the narrow, winding streets of Barcelona. Imagine strolling through cobbled lanes flanked with cafes, tapas bars and galleries framed by a skyline punctuated with stunning cathedrals and colorful architecture.

Your local Barcelona host will take you on a journey to the heart of Barcelona, where you could visit the Jewish Quarter or step back 2000 years with a trip to the old Roman Temple.

After ticking off your must-see sights in the city, allow your host to lead you off the beaten track - we promise you won’t get lost - and offer a glimpse into authentic local life in Barcelona. Stop for a quick bite or coffee break at one of the local’s favorite cafés or street food markets before browsing the myriad of shops and galleries dotted throughout the city.

Hear stories from times old and take in the vibrant art, history and food of Barcelona. We know that a city is more than a place, but a feeling. And so that’s exactly what you’ll experience with your host, as you discover Barcelona your way.
