Overview

Enjoy Barcelona while exploring the city in a private tour, with no other guests, where most of the streets are pedestrian. The tour explores the core and heart of Barcelona with lots of public art, iconic Medieval sites, historic landmarks, modernist architecture, shops, museums, galleries, workshops...
Barcelona was since Roman times a prosperous and lively city thanks to fertile soils and a natural harbour, so it has been an area of farmers and traders basically, as most of Mediterranean territories. Even today we may follow the trace of the first streets at the old town, developed originally by Romans and extended in Middle Ages when it became capital site for the Aragon Crown. Our Reinaissance though was delayed til 1800' with Art Nouveau and industrialisation. The old town is now a place full of history preserving traditions, but welcoming modern trendy projects.
We visit the main sites in Gothic Quarter and and finish at Palau Guell.

This is the old town similar to some old districts like the Marais in Paris or also Quartier Lain. You will enjoy the atmosphere, walking safe in narrow streets with old stone houses and here and there some nice fashion Catedral de Barcelona surges in front of you.
