An expert local guide will be your constant companion on your day exploring Barcelona, and a private car and driver will be on hand for the duration of your tour - meaning that you’ll spend all your time getting to know the unique charms of the city rather than wasting time en-route. You'll visit one of Barcelona's best-loved attractions; the colourful Park Güell where you’ll discover why Gaudí’s unique visions have become synonymous with the spirit of the Catalan capital. The vibrant Eixample neighbourhood is an unmissable stop on any Barcelona tour. Eixample was born from the city’s rapid expansion in the mid-nineteenth century, and its airy modernist abodes rich in symbolism have become a symbol of modern Barcelona. Today the quarter’s grid of tree-lined boulevards host an array of boutiques, bars and restaurants that make it one of the beating hearts of the city. Gaudí will take centre-stage on the next stop on our tour, the nearby Sagrada Familia. Undoubtedly, the most iconic landmark in the Catalan capital, this truly jaw-dropping basilica is still under construction more than 140 years after Gaudí first dreamed up plans for this world-famous temple to Catalan modernism. Welcoming over 4 million visitors each year, the Sagrada Familia is a busy place - that’s why we make sure that we have privileged priority entrance to the basilica on all our tours. Next stop on our itinerary will see us taking a drive up Montjuic hill. The picturesque Montjuic neighbourhood offers fabulous views of Barcelona and the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean beyond from its hilltop perch almost 200 metres above sea level. On our tour of Montjuic we’ll get the chance to visit the site of the 1929 World’s Fair in the Plaza de Espana. The grandiose Palau Nacional (National Palace) ii one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, whilst the Mies van der Rohe designed German pavilion stands as one of the crucial examples of the International Style in modern architecture - a masterpiece of steel, glass and marble. Nearby, a visit to the Olympic Ring will take us back to the 1992 Games and more masterworks of modern architecture by Arata Isozaki, Santiago Calatrava and others. The tour then continues into the oldest part of the city, the Gothic quarter, an atmospheric neighbourhood with an enchanting mix of winding alleys and beautiful squares. No tour of Barcelona would be complete without a visit to world-famous La Rambla, Barcelona’s iconic central boulevard. Running for over a kilometre from the port to the Placa de Catalunya, La Rambla’s endless supply of shops, bars and restaurants and street-artists capture the street-theatre of daily life in Barcelona at its most vibrant. On our visit to Las Rambla we’ll be sure to stop in at La Boqueria, one of Europe’s largest food markets. Stall after stall piled high with fruits and vegetables or festooned with hams and cured meats make La Bouqeria a feast for the senses that you can’t miss!
