We start our tour driving to the famous hill of Montjüic, which offers excellent views over the city and was the site of the 1992 Olympic games. A Place with attracts plenty of people because of its large of museums, gardens, viewpoints, sporting venues, and tourist attractions. After a brief stop at the Catalunya National Art Museum (MNAC), from where we will tell you all about the history of Barcelona, we will make our way down to Plaça Espanya and on past the Modernist buildings of the Eixample area.

Our drive to the iconic Sagrada Familia will take us to the Passeig de Gracia, one of the major avenues of Barcelona and home of the most famous designer stores! This overwhelming avenue is also home to two of the most talked Gaudï buildings: La Pedrera and Casa Batlló.

Finally, we will arrive at Sagrada Familia where your guide will explain to you the history and the importance of this famous building, before showing you inside for a self-guided tour. Our 'Skip the Line' policy means entrance tickets will have been pre-purchased and there will be NO QUEUES! For many, this is the highlight of their Barcelona trip as they experience the wonders of the Sagrada Familia at their own pace without being pushed around by a guide! Take your time and enjoy the architecture of this enchanting building. 

It's now time to discover the oldest part of Barcelona, the Barrio Gótico (Gothic Quarter), which, as late, the mid 19th century was still surrounded by the Medieval walls. At this point, we will leave the bus and enjoy a walking tour through the narrow winding streets of medieval Barcelona.

At the start of our short walk through the historic streets of Barcelona, we will stop for a brief tour of one of Barcelona's most traditional indoor food markets: Santa Caterina Market. Since 2005, the roof has become its stand-out element. It is this last alteration which has made the market a benchmark for contemporary architecture and a point of interest for tourists. The undulating and colorful roof has already become a new symbol of Barcelona.

From there, we will travel back in time, going from the Roman era through to the early Middle Ages, when the Catalan counts were controlling the Mediterranean sea and Barcelona was the capital of an empire. During this part of the tour, we will also visit the Jewish Quarter, the Royal Palace, and an original 2000-year-old Roman Temple. What a piece of history!

The final section of the morning tour takes in part of the Born district, where the guide will point out a variety of restaurants and tapas bars suitable for lunch, before ending the tour in the magnificent Santa Maria del Mar church - one of the most beautiful in Barcelona.

The guide will be more than happy to make some recommendations for lunch or dinner in the area, or for further sightseeing or shopping trips.

After a quick lunch, we head straight to Park Güell, the famous city garden designed by Antoni Gaudí. The guide will lead the group down through the park explaining the garden concept and introducing you to some of Gaudí's most bizarre creations.

From the Park, we head straight to one of the most famous Gaudí buildings of them all: La Pedrera. We will have an hour here to visit the building. Our 'Skip the Line' policy means that there is no waiting in queues! The tour ends here at around 4 p.m.
