This was a valuable and unforgettable experience where we learnt about the history and culture of Barcelona, we would never have discovered without Luca who was passionate and enthusiastic about the city, history and the local culture. A massive thankyou to him for enriching our stay in Barcelona. Exceptional value for money, we highly recommend.

On this walking tour of about 2 hours, a local guide leads you through Barcelona's old town, including the Gothic Quarter, the Jewish Quarter and El Born, to learn about the city's history and culture. Pass the Roman Temple of Augustus, Barcelona Cathedral and the old synagogue of the medieval Jewish quarter, all the way to Santa Maria del Mar, known as the 'Cathedral of the Sea'. A single guide runs the tour personally without a script, sharing stories of the city's heroes and legends, such as the origin of the name Barcelona and the Catalan flag.
