Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Palau Guell, Carrer Nou de la Rambla 3-5, 08001 Barcelona Spain

At the beginning of the century, the high class of Barcelona wanted to live in the city centre. The most remarkable example of this desire is the Palau Guell, the house of the same Guell family that founded the construction of the Park Guell and the major patron of Gaudi’s work. Have a look at the facade of this private house, where a young Gaudi shows already all his talent to master the light and create beautiful shapes even with a very limited space.

Stop At: Cat, Fernando Botero, Rambla del Raval, s/n Esta ubicado en unos jardines publicos, 08001 Barcelona Spain

Continue your walking tour to discover the Raval, the most multicultural and off the beaten path district of the Old Town, that attracts people from diverse social, cultural and geographical backgrounds. Visit the Rambla del Raval to take a picture with the enormous Cat Statue by Fernando Botero, probably the cutest statue you will ever see.

We invite you to an exclusive visit, not opened to general public, where you will be able to enter the dungeons of the several political prisoners that have marked the history of the city.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Parc de Montjuic, Avinguda del Castell, Barcelona Spain

Arise from the dungeons to the sky to admire a bird’s eye view of Barcelona and its surroundings. The best way to admire Barcelona in all its beauty is from high above the city.

Stephanie was extremely knowledgeable, and kind! She made the tour a great experience for the whole group, providing a lot of context on the history of Barcelona.

The tour was advertised as an exclusive tour of Montjuic and the dungeons with a maximum of 12 people. Exclusive did not mean skip the line, we waited on line with a few hundred people Our group had 14 people in it. It almost was 15, one person went with the other group to stay with her friend. It is listed as a castle when it is actually a fortress. We never saw the dungeons. We were told they are not accessible. Edward was a very good guide. He managed to get us all through the metro, the funicular and cable cars efficiently (except for all of the people) He obviously loves the city and shows that passion. He was personable and seemed knowledgeable.

The Old Town history was very informative and interesting. The castle has amazing views and history. Our guide Miguel was very good. There is a lot of walking involved, as well as the cable car, subway and train to get around for this tour.

Absolutely fantastic tour delivered by our lovely guide, Montse. She really gave us a deeper understanding of the culture of Barcelona, something that is really difficult to capture by simply walking around the city. Our tour was to Montjuic Castle, an absolutely must-see location. The views over the city are simply amazing. Coupled with Montse's guidance, it was truly a great experience. Bring water and a good pair of walking shoes. 👍🏻
