Private tour

From Plaza Real to Santa Maria del Mar, passing through the Jewish quarter, Jérémy will take you to discover more than twenty sites.

During this 3-hour experience, Jérémy, your guide in Barcelona, will not only share stories of wars and kings, but also the birth of an identity and a mindset that have been forged over time—making Barcelona such a coveted destination for both tourists and expats today.

In a fun and engaging way—often involving you with short quizzes—you’ll also learn about local customs in Spain, cultural differences with other countries, and the unique Catalan identity. Jérémy will tell you about his life as an expat, full of adventures and happy encounters that changed his path. He’ll also share his top recommendations for activities, restaurants, and bars.

What our clients say

AurélieGirona, Spain

Jérémie was fantastic! Punctual, full of enthusiasm, and very engaging, he gave us a wonderful introduction to Barcelona. We’d gladly come back to explore more hidden corners, mysteries, stories, and neighbourhoods we didn’t have time to see in just half a day. A big THANK YOU from all five of us (including four kids aged 6 to 16), and we hope to share another enjoyable and fascinating moment with you again soon!

Lorena PerézCádiz

It wasn’t our first time in Barcelona, and since the tour ended up being private, Jérémy adapted it perfectly, moving quickly through things we already knew and diving deeper into the ones we didn’t. The itinerary matched our tastes and interests, and his explanations were detailed and engaging, supported by maps, photos, and illustrations that helped us better understand Barcelona’s history and evolution. I highly recommend this dynamic tour, Jérémy is a passionate, kind, and attentive guide.

A question about the historic center tour?

During the walk, I’ll take you to discover some of my favorite places in the historic center: Calle del Bisbe, Barcelona Cathedral, Santa Maria del Mar Basilica, Plaça Sant Jaume, the old Jewish quarter… and plenty of hidden gems!

The tour is mostly outdoors so we can enjoy the vibe of the old town and see as much as possible. But at certain spots, we’ll take a quick look inside when possible 😉

Yes! I’ll take you past century-old shops where you can discover Catalan pastries, charcuterie, Iberian ham, turrón, or even churros. You can even grab a takeaway and enjoy it during the walk!

Yes, absolutely! I include quizzes and always get children involved. With plenty of fun anecdotes, they have a great time while learning.

The tour covers around 3 km in total. It’s a relaxed, easy-going walk with lots of breaks to fully enjoy each spot.

We meet at Plaça Reial, a central and easy-to-find location.

The tour ends in front of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter.

I always take time at the end to give you tips on how to get back to your hotel or continue exploring.

I recommend bringing a bottle of water, especially in summer. The rest depends on the weather: comfortable shoes for walking, a hat and sunglasses when it’s sunny, or a small umbrella if the sky looks uncertain.

The idea is to feel comfortable and fully enjoy the tour!

Yes, of course! The route is designed to be suitable for wheelchairs or strollers.

Feel free to let me know when booking so I can adapt accordingly.

To ensure a friendly and high-quality experience, I limit the group to 18 participants maximum.

This makes it easier to chat and stay comfortable in the narrow streets of the historic center.

No worries, we bring out the umbrellas! Barcelona is still full of charm even in the rain. Of course, if the authorities issue a weather alert, the tour will be cancelled or rescheduled.

Yes! In summer, we stick to shaded areas, take regular breaks to stay hydrated, and adjust the pace for greater comfort.

The tour also starts at 9:00 a.m. to take advantage of the cooler part of the day.
