More than just stadiums - it's about culture

5.00Brilliant tour that really goes beyond the surface level. Camp Nou and the Barça museum are impressive, obviously, but what made this special was the grassroots football perspective at Europa. Learning about the community clubs, the passionate local fans, and the contrast with mega-clubs like Barça gave me a completely new understanding of Barcelona. Professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about sharing this side of the city.
Kids and adults both loved it!

5.00We booked this tour as a family (two adults, two kids aged 10 and 13) and everyone genuinely enjoyed it. The Camp Nou museum kept the kids entertained with all the trophies and interactive displays, while my husband and I loved hearing about the cultural significance of football in Catalunya. CE Europa was an eye-opener for all of us. Gabriel managed to keep everyone engaged and answered every question patiently. Money well spent!
FANTASTIC blend of mainstream and authentic football

5.00Traveled solo and this tour was exactly what I was looking for. The storytelling about Barcelona's football heritage at Camp Nou was captivating, but the real magic happened at CE Europa. Standing at Nou Sardenya stadium and visiting the actual bar where ultras gather felt like stepping into the heart of real Catalan football. I felt welcome throughout and even got tips for watching a local match. Can't recommend this enough!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-do for any football lover visiting Barcelona

5.00This tour is absolutely brilliant! We went through Camp Nou's incredible museum, saw the massive stadium renovation up close, and then were surprised by the intimate atmosphere of CE Europa. Hearing about the ultras culture and grassroots football scene gave me such a deeper appreciation for Barcelona beyond just FC Barcelona. The enthusiasm throughout was contagious and the knowledge shared was encyclopedic. My partner and I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend our afternoon.

5.00My two boys (ages 7 and 11) had the time of their lives. They were mesmerized by Barca's museum, the Camp Nou construction site and the stories shared about Barcelona's golden era. We really enjoyedd visiting Europa's stadium and learning about real grassroots football culture - positive surprise indeed. Our guide was patient, engaging, and clearly loves what he does. We can't thank him enough!
Best way to see both sides of Barcelona football

5.00Took this tour with three mates and we absolutely loved it. Camp Nou museum is world class, but the real surprise was Europa. Never knew about these smaller clubs and their passionate fans. Everything was fun, informative, and we moved around efficiently. Two and a half hours flew by. Definitely worth booking if you want more than just the Barça tourist trap.
Loved Every Minute!

5.00This tour exceeded expectations. The guide is incredibly knowledgeable about Barcelona's football history, history in general and the local scene. Visiting CE Europa's stadium and the bar where ultras gather gave us a totally different perspective from the typical tourist experience. My wife, who isn't even a huge football fan, found it captivating. Highly recommend for families!

5.00Had an amazing time exploring Camp Nou and the hidden gem of CE Europa with Gabriel. The contrast between the mega club and the grassroots community football was fascinating. My 11-year-old son couldn't stop talking about walking through the museum and seeing where the real ultras meet before matches. Gabriel's passion for Catalan football culture really shines through. Worth every euro!

5.00Spending the day with Gabriel was an absolute highlight of our trip. The Barça Museum and the massive works at Camp Nou were truly impressive, but the most special part was discovering Europa’s historic stadium and even sitting for a drink at the ultras’ bar - a real taste of local football life. Gabriel weaves football, history, politics, and culture into a fascinating story that made the whole day unforgettable. This is a must-do tour for anyone who wants to experience Barcelona through the lens of its incredible football culture.
