Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Barcelona spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Barcelona.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Barcelona, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Barcelona awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.

Wonderful Tour With Maria!
"Maria couldn’t have been a better tour guide! Incredibly friendly, deeply knowledgeable and immensely passionate about Barcelona, Maria showed us where to go (and what to avoid) in the heart of Barcelona’s bustling downtown areas. Maria’s insights into Barcelona’s food, drink, history, and culture are unparalleled! "
"Mario was great. Chatty, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Over the time we had with him, he threw himself into keeping us entertained and there was never a dull moment. If strongly recommend this service and Mario as a guide. Really nice person. "
"We had a great time with Brendan—it felt more like touring with a friend than a guide. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, deeply passionate about history and food, and tailored the experience perfectly to our interests. He even provided recommendations for dinner after the tour. Having lived in so many places, it’s hard to imagine anyone not finding something in common with him!"

Best Tour in Barcelona
"We were lucky enough to visit Barcelona for three days this November and got the pleasure of having Moisés guide us through the city. This tour was so much more than we expected: a mix of food, wine, culture, and history (for all the history nerds- there were MAPS!). Moisés was able to bring the city to life for us in such a marvelous and unique way. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone when coming to Barcelona!
