Which experiences are best for private tours in Barcelona?

When it comes to private tours in Barcelona, the sky’s the limit! But some experiences stand out more than others. A private tour of Gaudí’s iconic architectural masterpieces, such as the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo and Casa Mila can be particularly good for learning and seeing as much as possible.

Immersing yourself in Gaudí’s world on a private tour is an unparalleled experience. It’s like stepping into a whimsical wonderland where you can almost see the maestro’s genius at work. 

And this Full Day Private Tour of the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell is perfect for this!

Private food tours are another great option, taking you to hidden local spots to taste authentic Catalan cuisine – like this private food tour with 10 tastings .

You could also consider a private tour to the stunning Montserrat mountain and monastery , or delve into the fascinating history of Barcelona’s old town, the Barri Gòtic with a tour like this one . 

The best part? With a private tour, these experiences can be customized to match your interests, making your Barcelona adventure truly unique.

Are private tours in Barcelona worth it?

Absolutely, private tours in Barcelona are worth every penny (well, euro). They offer a unique, personalized experience that large group tours just can’t match. Moreover, with a private tour, you get a deep dive into the culture, history, and secrets of the city from a local’s perspective.

When you’re with a private guide, you have the freedom to explore at your own pace without being hurried along to meet a tight schedule. 

Have a burning question? There’s always time for answers on a private tour. 

Want to linger a little longer at a specific spot or skip something that doesn’t pique your interest? That’s the beauty of private tours – they can be tailored to your preferences. 

Ultimately, the value of a private tour lies in the rich, immersive, and personalized experience that lets you truly connect with the city.

How To Choose Between The Penedes and Priorat?

The Penedes is located just 1 hour away by car, and is a wonderful Arcadia of rolling hills, villages and vineyards, while the Priorat is more like 2 hrs drive away, and is even more dramatic, with roads that wind through high hills and valleys. While the Penedes can boast DO wines, the Priorat is one of only two regions in Spain that produces DOQ/DOCa wines… the other is Rioja. Due to the extra travel time tours to the Priorat cost more.

What other guests say about our tours and locals

Wonderful walking tour of Barcelona!

"I did a walking tour with Federico in Barcelona and it was fantastic. I found out out so much about this wonderful city. Federico has an amazing knowledge of Barcelona and its history - he truly brings the city to life! I loved every minute that we had and really feel that I left the tour knowing so much more about Barcelona, its history, culture and people. "

Very knowledgeable and helpful

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Tomas. He took us from the old town to the harbor and then Barceloneta with informative stops along the way. Tomas is attentive to the comfort of his riders checking in regularly to be sure we didn't need a break. The only critique would be we spent a lot of time at the harbor. Since this was a highlights tour, we would've enjoyed going by a few of the other highlights of Barcelona. That being said, we are very happy that we planned this activity and had Tomas as our guy"

Fantastic experience!

"Bianca shared so much about Barcelona that enriched the rest of our stay. What we learned about the city’s development over the ages made us look differently at buildings and neighborhoods, and helped us navigate. Even though my partner had been to Barcelona many times, Bianca found several famous landmarks he had never known seen. After touring a beautiful market with her, we saved lots of money and ate better by shopping at the traditional markets. She was also very accommodating when I made a scheduling error, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend booking Bianca’s tour!"

Amazing Experience

"I enjoyed my tour in Barcelona with Elvira, the best experience ever . we went for 6 hours through the most deatails and in depth of Barcelona History from Gothic time till present.Elvira has a nice personality, humble with nice smile always .I enjoyed my trip to the max with her.I would recommend that tour to everyone .Special thanks again to you Elvira , hope to see you soon in Barcelona"

Fantastic trip into the best of Barcelona!

"Gonzalo was a wonderful guide for myself and my friend. His knowledge growing up in Barcelona and of all the great places to visit made our trip wonderful. We went to historical, beautiful sites; ate tapas and drank local favorite beverages that were in trendy, non-touristic neighborhoods; got to experience some salsa dancing; and learned about the culture of Catalonia and Barcelona. Gonzalo made all the difference in this trip being a fantastic one. I highly recommend him as a warm, welcoming host to this great city. He will work to customize your tour so that it fits your desires and schedule. Great trip! Thank you!"

Informative, engaging and interesting

"We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Philippe and highly recommend booking the tour. It is a great way to learn about this amazing city and Philippe will impart invaluable knowledge introducing you the many historical and current facts pertaining to the city."

"We were unexcited with all the historic tours so we were looking for something different. Who doesn’t love to eat!? We didn’t want touristy food and having never been in another country we were looking for help. Federico took us to some great places we never would have found or even tried had we been alone. This was by far our best tour in a 14 day trip. The kids and wife still talk about the blood sausage and the great experience. We highly recommend this tour!"

Alan was like family!

"Our family of three booked with Alan for the Ten Tastings of Barcelona tour. Walking around the market, visiting tapas bars and finishing at a churros cafe, was such a delight with Alan, who quickly became like a member of our family. We visited Barcelona with our son, who is about the same age as Alan. Alan engaged with every one of us and took an interest in our individual likes. He was so accommodating! We had some great laughs, and learned the very interesting history of La Boqueria Market. By the time our tour ended we were sad to go our separate ways. It’s nice to know that when we think of Barcelona, we will remember our time with Alan as a highlight! Thank you With Locals and Gracias Alan! "

Sebastian is the Best

"The reviews were right. Sebastian is awesome! We were running late because of the lack of taxis/Ubers and had just arrived a few hours earlier, so we didn't know what to expect. He was able to move reservations around to accommodate our tardiness and we got everything we planned for. He fit in so easily with our group and you never felt like there was a stranger at your table. You will not be disappointed with Sebastian as your guide. "

Great Guide

"Wonderful! Energetic. Knowledgable. Enthusiastic. English is excellent. Engaging. A great introduction to Barcelona!"

When you hit the road and land in a new city like Barcelona, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.

Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Barcelona spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Barcelona.

The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.

But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Barcelona, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Barcelona awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.

So, next time you're in Barcelona, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Barcelona. Get ready to explore like a local!

Guide in Barcelona

My name’s is Anna, a Barcelona Private Tour guide and in 2012 I created Barcelonina.

Thanks to many travelers like you, nowadays I am leading a small agency specialized in private tours . With us you will discover the main Gaudí’s buildings (like the Sagrada Familia ), the Gothic Area or the more-than-famous Ramblas.

Are you a Gourmet person? if yes,  we can arrange for you a Tapas tour  to explore the Raval area or a cooking class where you will learn how to cook local specialties (and amaze your friends back home!).

Gradually I selected a team of five-star guides

Clara has been with us since the beginning and over the years other guides like Silvia, Agnès, Eli, Minerva and Maica have joined the club.

Under what criterion? To have empathy, to be friendly, to have vast knowledge and to know how to transmit it are some of the conditions required to become a Barcelonina guide.

Your Barcelona private guide

All our tours and activities are private and exclusive. They are planned to be done without rushing, allowing you to take your time to breath, to take pictures and to experience.

Forget about carrying a heavy guidebook or reading a map to navigate around the city. Just relax and follow your Barcelona private guide. This is your moment.

A tailor-made tour?

Are you a travel agent.

Would have missed many sights without Anna. Short cuts we never would have found on our own. Also loved her choices for small off the beaten track restaurants. Highly recommend.

Anna is an excellent tour guide! She clearly loves Barcelona, and shares her enthusiasm and knowledge with her clients.

My customers from South Africa told me that the next time they come, they want to hire Anna services again. They got delighted with her knowledge, how she puts accross the information and the flexibility to adapt to their own rythm. We will hire Barcelonina services again for sure!
