Discover, learn and enjoy!
You won't get lost or miss out on any of the hidden gems if you go with me! Explore the old city center and discover where the 'locals' go for a nice glass of wine with a snack.
In the oldest district "Barri Gòtic" we dive into the time of the Romans. We will see the remains of the old city wall, churches and the Jewish quarter. We also walk through the 19th century, where we find the oldest shops in Barcelona and the things that make the neighborhood so characteristic.
A great combination with the gastronomic heart of Barcelona, ’El Born’, which is thé place to shop besides the nice restaurants and bars. ‘Made in Barcelona’-gadgets and clothes from the trendy boutiques in the beautifully decorated labyrinth of streets.
To top off the best way possible, you will learn about Spanish wines while enjoying a platter of delicious, local cheeses and cold cuts.

Marit is just a gem. Her knowledge of Barcelona and also Tapas, Pinchos and Wine was exceptional. Her command of English is like talking to a native. I can't think of a better tour guide. If we could give her an 11 out of 10 we would.
