Itinerary
Start your tour at the famous Ramblas, the heart of the city centre.
Enjoy this walking tour of the Old Town and visit the famous Boqueria Market, considered one of the best markets in the world because of its modernist design and the richness of products it offers.
Enjoy a walk along the must-visit Las Ramblas, probably the most famous avenue of the city, home to many bars, restaurants and shops.
At the beginning of the century, the high class of Barcelona wanted to live in the city centre. The most remarkable example of this desire is the Palau Guell, the house of the same Guell family that founded the construction of the Park Guell and the major patron of Gaudi’s work. Have a look at the facade of this private house, where a young Gaudi shows already all his talent to master the light and create beautiful shapes even with very limited space.
Continue your walking tour to discover the Raval, the most multicultural and off the beaten path district of the Old Town, that attracts people from diverse social, cultural and geographical backgrounds. Visit the Rambla del Raval to take a picture with the enormous Cat Statue by Fernando Botero, probably the cutest statue you will ever see.
Take the Montjuic funicular and get ready for the best views of Barcelona from the top. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the Montjuic Cable Car and wonderful views of Barcelona’s iconic skyline.
Reach the Montjuic Castle to enjoy a private visit allowed only to our small group. The Montjuic Castle has been a military fortress since its early beginning, witnessing the change of political power in the city. We invite you to an exclusive visit, not opened to general public, where you will be able to enter the dungeons of the several political prisoners that have marked the history of the city.
Arise from the dungeons to the sky to admire a bird’s eye view of Barcelona and its surroundings. The best way to admire Barcelona in all its beauty is from high above the city. This is where Barcelona reveals itself in total splendor. With our exclusive visit, you will have access to the Tower of the Castle, where you can admire a 360ª views over Barcelona and, if the day is bright and clear, up to the Pyrenees.
Return to the Old Town by Cable Car: relax and enjoy the ride. Your tour ends in a very good area for some local tapas. Ask your guide for the best spots to visit.

Monste, our Montjuic guide is wonderful; so full of energy, knowledge and knows how to make you feel welcome and special! The tour of the gothic quarter was made all the more fascinating thanks to Montse’s insights and local understanding. We made our way through the metro with Monste leading the way, making it fun, safe and easy. Then the trip up the funicular to the cable car. It was the most majestic way to reach the top of Montjuic with breathtaking views and scenery. Montse continued with high energy and more incredible knowledge to make the trip an absolute highlight of Barcelona! If you need a guide, Monste is world class!! Thank you Montse!!!
My tour guide was Montse and she was excellent, very competent and reliable. Her knowledge and insight of Barcelona were easy to follow. She also gave us recommendations on where to go after the tour. I highly recommend her!
Stephanie was a wonderful tour guide. She made the entire experience so memorable and exciting. Stephanie is a precious lady who is passionate about her work and about life in so many ways. We would love to have her as a tour guide and as a friend. We had so much fun!!!!!
Monse was very knowledgeable and pleasant during the tour. She kept us engaged all the time and adjusted the conversation level for the younger members of the group.
We had great time with our guide, Montse. She spent plenty of time explaining the Catalonian history behind Montjuic. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and took good care of us. Highly recommended
Stephanie was our tour guide…. She was amazing and kept our kids interested the whole time! Very knowledgeable! I highly recommend asking for Stephanie for your family. We have a 10 and 8yo and they were engaged the whole time! Thank you!!
This is a fabulous tour and well worth the money. It was just Kitty (pronounced Katty). Because it was private, we were able to modify some of the stops and where we ended.
