Sagrada Familia, Gothic Quarter & El Born Private Tour

Barcelona is a city where modern and medieval history and architecture meet and perfectly blend. It is what makes the city so enigmatic and attracts visitors time and time again. So why not get an excellent overview of both the past and present of Barcelona, with a private 4-hour walking tour that includes the Sagrada Familia, the Gothic Quarter and El Born. In each of these places, you’ll find something different and equally impressive.

At the Sagrada Familia, you will learn about Gaudi’s modernist style, while in the Gothic Quarter you’ll explore Barcelona’s Medieval, and even the Roman side. Last but not least, in El Born, you’ll find both ancient and present day influences, as you walk around trendy districts full of restaurants frequented by locals. Our private, fully licensed guide will accompany you in this journey through Barcelona’s diversity. You will meet your private guide at the Sagrada Familia, Barcelona’s most famous monument.

Once you have finished exploring the outside of the church, adorned by intricate carvings and hidden meanings that your guide will explain to you, you’ll continue your exploration of Gaudi’s artistic mind inside the Sagrada Familia. In choosing this tour, you’ll be granted skip-the-line tickets so that you won’t have to waste precious time standing in a line.

You will feel the benefit of having a private guide at your side, as they explain to you in detail every curiosity about Gaudi’s life and works. Once you have finished your visit to the Sagrada Familia, you will choose to either take a taxi or the metro (both payable on site) so that you’ll be transported to an entirely different landscape: the Gothic Quarter and its medieval buildings.

There you’ll learn about Barcelona’s medieval past assisted step by step with your guide. In the Gothic District, you can also find the remainings of an ancient Roman wall- a real voyage through time! The two different historical periods you’ll have visited so far collide together as you pass by Gaudi’s Palau Guell, right in the Gothic Quarter.

Finally, you’ll explore a bit of the life of a local Barcelona citizen of the present era. You’ll be shown the upmarket El Born area, full of trendy bars and boutique shops. Your professional and local guide will suggest you to which tapas place to go, so you can avoid tourist traps, and enjoy a lovely Catalan meal at the end of your tour.
