About this tour

What to expect
Your guide collects you and sets a steady pace through Barcelona's back streets, stopping at beloved local taverns rather than tourist traps. Each venue offers a different bite—cured meat, small plates, a sweet finish—paired with something to drink. You'll hear stories about how Barcelona eats and why. After roughly two hours grazing and walking, you'll take a taxi to Sagrada Família. Here you're on your own with the audioguide, free to linger on Gaudí's spiralling columns and stained glass without a commentary voice in your ear. Allow ninety minutes to two hours inside.
Good to know
Bring your own headphones for the audioguide. Children under eleven need ID. The Boqueria market closes Sundays, so your guide substitutes another stop. Accessible for wheelchairs throughout. Public transport nearby if you'd rather skip the taxi. Leave pets at home.
