We pick you up wherever you tell us (we can pick you up at your hotel, airport or anywhere else) and drop you off wherever you want. Your comfort comes first.

Do you have any questions? Let’s try to clear them up! These are the most frequently asked questions by our clients:

How can I customize the tour?

Let’s suppose you like one of our private tours, but you want to add a stop or skip one. Or anything else, like telling us where to pick you up and where to drop you off when the tour is finished. You only have to contact us by writing an email to [email protected] or calling +34 93 410 14 05. We will confirm your changes immediately.

What does it mean PRIVATE tour?

Qué tendrás el guía en tu idioma a tu completa disposición. Te recogeremos donde quieras (en tu hotel, en el aeropuerto, en algún punto de la ciudad…) y finalizaremos también donde nos digas. Comodidad, privacidad y seguridad de que todo está previsto: es lo que te llevas con nuestros tours privados en Barcelona. Si lo prefieres, también ofrecemos tours guiados regulares

In which languages are the private tours available?

All our tours are available in English, Spanish, Catalan, French and Italian. For a small supplement, they are also available in German, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Arabic and Japanese. For other languages please check with us at [email protected]

What does it mean that the guides are specialised in what they teach?

Our guides don’t do all the tours; each of them does their own. For example, the Jewish Quarter tour is done by a guide who speaks fluent English and Hebrew and is an expert in Jewish culture and history.

What happens if I book any of the Icono Serveis tours on other platforms?

You miss every opportunity to customize your private tour. It’s very likely that you will find the same tour at a higher price and we cannot assure you that the cancellation is free; it will depend on what the other platform offers you. If you make the reservation on this website you will be able to personalize the tour, you make sure to pay the minimum and if you cancel the tour, you don’t lose your money.
