Useful Information
Best of Barcelona Private Tour including Sagrada Familia
On your way to La Sagrada Famlia, drive through Passeig de Gracia, home to designer stores and two of Barcelona’s most renowned Antonio Gaudí buildings – La Pedrera and Casa Batlló. You’ll also stop at the Hospital de Sant Pau, one of the greatest symbols of modernist architecture in Barcelona and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
When you arrive at La Sagrada Familia, your skip-the-line access allows you to avoid the very long queues and go straight in! Your guide will lead you inside the magnificent interior of this famous Gothic structure and you can enjoy your guided tour.
You’ll then head to the oldest part of Barcelona, the Gothic Quarter, where you’ll leave your coach and enjoy a walking tour through the narrow streets of medieval Barcelona. Stop for a complimentary glass of cava (Catalan sparkling wine) and a selection of traditional tapas in a local market. From there, travel back to the early Middle Ages, visiting the Jewish Quarter, the Royal Palace, the original 2,000-year-old Roman temple and part of the Cathedral .
Continue to the Born district, where you’ll have free time for a quick lunch before heading to the magnificent Santa Maria del Mar church, one of the most beautiful in Barcelona. Your tour ends here.
This private tour of Barcelona is hosted by a professional guide. Please list any special interests you have (art, architecture, history, culture) at the time of booking to alert your guide, who will then prepare for your private tour.

The tour was great, everything I hoped for and more. Our guide Feliciano was so knowledgable. He loves his city and his work. We will want to come back to Barcelona. Walking right into the museums was the best, there were really long lines everywhere.
