Walk With Antoni Gaudi.
One of Catalonia’s most famous artists, Antoni Gaudí’s architectural influence enlivens Barcelona’s streets like brilliant brush strokes of dream-like colors.
Our walking tours give you an insider’s view of the architect’s most important works, as well as a look into the life of the man himself.
To experience the architectural works of Antoni Gaudí is to allow yourself to be seduced into a world where boundaries are few and far between.
Windows no longer are squares. Balconies no longer are inanimate objects. Rooftops are a landscape of creativity. Churches are the palette of the preposterous.
Our walking tours immerse you in Gaudí’s wild word of visually-enrapturing buildings.
Feast on the quirky luxury of the Catalan architect’s Casa Milá (popularly known as La Pedrera), an apartment- turned-cultural-center that is one of the few projects Gaudí completed from start to finish.
Gleeful hues of a rainbow of colors speckle the façade of Casa Batlló, a home Gaudí renovated in 1906 for a textile mogul.
Experience the Sagrada Familia while learning the story behind the imagery.
Your guides will be with you throughout your private tour, explaining Gaudi´s techniques and inspirations; his relationship with the Guell family; the histories of Casa Milá, Casa Batlló and the Sagrada Familia; and his influence on Barcelona and the architectural world. You’ll feel like you are walking the streets of Barcelona with a close friend.

A Walk Through History…
A stroll through Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella, or Old City, is both magical and mystifying. Narrow streets twist and turn, leading you to hidden plazas where pigeons patrol the ground and a fountain’s gurgling song echoes off weathered stone walls.
Awe will strike you as you crane your neck heavenward to scan the intricate architecture of the Gothic Quarter’s cathedral, churches, and other marvels of ages past.
Of course, the aged stone of the Gothic Quarter’s magnificent churches aren’t the only eye-catching aspect of this famous section of Barcelona.
In contrast to the pale rocks of the cathedrals, the brilliant colors of La Boqueria market´s kaleidoscope of fruit, meats and fish take your senses captive.
Continue on to neighborhoods influenced by Roman history and Jewish history. Amble down a maze of walkways just wide enough for one traveler at a time.
Emerge into Plaza Sant Felip Neri, where the stone walls recount stories of Barcelona interesting, sometimes violent history.
Stand silently before ruins of the ancient Roman neighborhood that once thrived in today’s Gothic Quarter.

private walking Tapas & Wine Tour (2.5-3.5 hours) Price & Booking Information
A tasty and savory walk…
Rapturous reds, wondrous whites and a tasty tradition of tapas mark Barcelona’s food and wine scene. Experience the variety, tradition and taste of some of Spain’s most delicious tapas and wines.
The tiny neighborhood bar is packed with locals. Smiles are warmed by hearty glasses of wine and vermouth. Small plates are loaded with homemade tapas.
Not the typical tourist place, this bar, but it’s the kind of place we like to take you on our Barcelona tapas and wine tours.
We take you to at least three neighborhood bars where you’ll be immersed in authentic local foods whose flavors and flair remain unmoved by tourists’ influence.
Prices aren´t the cheapest, but they aren´t the most expensive. We´ve found that you really do get what you pay for when it comes to the world of tapas. We avoid the bars that peddle fast-food style tapas. We love the bars where passion and pride is evident in every plate.
Of course, tapas aren´t the only highlight of the tour. We´ll pair your meals with wines from Catalonia and other regions in Spain.
Along the way we’ll whet your appetite with insights about tapas culture: where they were born, what they mean to Spaniards today and how they are evolving.
Time Frames
- Lunch tapas tours usually start at 12:00 p.m. and conclude around 3:00 p.m.
- Evening tapas tours usually start at 7:00 p.m. and conclude around 10:00 p.m.
- Experience has shown that these are the best times to visit the smaller bars. However, each client is different. If our schedules don´t fit your time frame, let us know when you need to start and when you need to finish your tapas & wine tour. Contact us about your specific requests.
Meeting Point
- We will go to you. Your friendly guide and host will meet you at your hotel, apartment or other location to start your adventure. During the booking process you will be asked to provide your designated meeting point.
Large Groups
- Incentive, large group of friends or family? Not a problem. We’ve done this tour with groups over 150 people! We will divide your group into smaller groups and take them each on a wonderful route of Tapas and wine.
Things to Consider

Dslr, Smart Phone, point and shoot…
Legendary American photographer Ansel Adams once said, “The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!”
We agree with Ansel. What you learn about photography will make or break your ability to capture the perfect picture.
Our private photography tours are designed for you to get the most you possibly can out of your camera. Beginners and intermediate shooters will benefit most from our program.
As we walk through the photo-ready streets of Barcelona, we’ll break down seemingly complex terms – aperture, f-stop, ISO, shutter speed – into simple concepts. You´ll feel the important shift in which your control over your camera goes beyond your camera’s control over you.
That little green box on your dial that indicates the automatic setting? By the end of your private tour, you’ll have the knowledge to kiss that little green training-wheel goodbye.
Barcelona’s historic Gothic Quarter will serve as the backdrop for your photography tour. Our professional photographers will teach you how to visualize your photo, then apply the technical aspects of the craft to make that visualization a reality.
Learn techniques that you can apply to real life, day-to-day photographs as we walk through the Quarter´s quaint streets and plazas
Instantly apply the principles you learn in the following areas of photography:
- Visualization: Visualize what you want to shoot. Then, use the techniques below to create the photo you want.
- Evaluate a scene: Assess the elements of a scene and decide what you need to do to get the shot you want.
- Light: Find out how to adjust your aperture and shutter speed based on the available light.
- Focus: Blurry pictures are the bane of the beginning photographer. Learn techniques that will help you say goodbye to blur (unless you intentionally want it).
- Framing: Use natural objects within the photo to frame your subject.
- Dynamic range: Learn how the contrast between the darkest and lightest parts of a scene can influence your shot. Negotiate the presence of shadows.
- Perspective: Look at common objects from a different viewpoint.
- Depth of field: Use your camera’s aperture and lens to make your subjects pop.
- Flash: Don´t be scared to use it. It can be your best friend, not your worst enemy.
- Movement: Add movement to a shot to give the viewer a sense of being “in the picture.”
