Imagine stepping back in time to wander the winding streets of Barcelona’s historic heart with a local by your side. That’s what you’ll experience on our Gothic Quarter walking tour, a blend of Catalan traditions and architectural wonders.

Begin your journey in the Plaça Sant Miquel as you hear about human towers 10 stories tall. We'll continue to other historic squares with Roman roots, admire a stunning cathedral, and snap photos of public art. Your journey continues into the El Born neighborhood, home to the stunning Palau de la Musica, a modernist masterpiece that captivates with its ornate design. At each turn, your guide shares stories and points out details you might otherwise miss.

For those seeking an extra dose of local flavor, upgrade to end your night with a traditional flamenco show, including a free drink. Held in the atmospheric setting of the remains of an 11th-century convent, this passionate performance offers the perfect ending to a day rich in Spanish culture.

We were fortunate enough to be a small group which made for an intimate tour with Perrine. That gave the opportunity to ask many questions which Perrine could confidently answer with here extensive knowledge. She was an excellent guide who even gave us advice and history on our next days itinerary.
