Experience neighbourhoods off the beaten path. See Barcelona through the eyes of a local. This guided walk in the historic center of Barcelona will let you discover more than the usual: buildings & squares you will not encounter easily. Immerse with us into the captivating history of the city while strolling through the maze of little streets in El Born & Gothic Quarter. Enjoy a drink in a magical square where mostly locals go.

Outstanding tour

Published on Apr, 2024

Christians guided tour took us to hidden places we would have never seen exploring the city on our own. His explanations were perfect and absolutely interesting. We enjoyed having a short break on one of the quiet wonderful plazas, drinking a beer and talking about this and that. In the evening we had dinner in one of the restaurants, Christian recommended, it was great. Many thanks for this wonderful experience.

In Depth Understanding

Published on Mar, 2024

Christian provided an unique and interesting recounting of the less well-known neighborhoods of Barcelona. It was wonderful to immerse ourselves in the areas where locals live and work and understand the history of the city.

Excellent

Published on Jan, 2024

It was great learning the history and architecture of the city. As well as some travel tips as well.

Hidden gem

Published on Mar, 2023

Absolutely loved it. I would have never found the places Christian showed us on my own. Book a tour, you won’t regret it!

Amazing Tour

Published on Dec, 2022

"Our group of six had a perfect afternoon with Christian. He shared history, local knowledge, gave restaurant recommendations and answered all our questions about the area. My favorite part? He told us about a local flamenco show and saved me almost $300 on a tourist trap. Thanks, Christian! I wish we had had the time to take one of your food tours. Next time!"
