TOUR DESCRIPTION & ITINERARY

On this Gothic Quarter tour for kids we have specially designed a dynamic itinerary that combines history, culture and chocolate through Barcelona's most historic district, the Gothic Quarter! 

We truly understand that traveling with your children in Barcelona is an opportunity to create memories that last a lifetime.  This private tour incorporates a family fun scavenger hunt that is challenging for ages 5 to 50 and beyond!   

You will start your tour with an exploration of the Gothic Quarter as your guide captivates your family's attention with the stories and history of the sights listed above, as well as some surprises. Each stop on your custom tour provides a clue to the scavenger hunt.  Along the way, you will stop to at a local chocolate maker to see creations in the making (always fascinating) and try the finished product in our blindfolded tastings!  Can you guess the ingredients? 

The burning question at the end of every Gothic Quarter tour for kids... Who won the scavenger hunt? Only your photos will tell the truth!  The winning team will celebrate with an edible prize of freshly made churros and chocolate in a historic setting (everyone is a winner, just don't tell the kids!).

"By far the best tour guide!"
She was very knowledgeable and engaged the group in a way that even our kids were excited (and dare a say actually learned something).  It had the right pace so that we never felt like we were on a forced march, which was important as we had our 6 and 8 year old kids with us. She gave us insights along the way that we would have never picked up on our own.

"She brought the history to life for all of us."
I visited Barcelona with my 12 year old daughter and 71 year old mother. We took The Insider's Gothic Quarter. We thoroughly enjoyed it - the guide was fun and knowledgeable. She brought the history to life for all of us. My daughter is now dying to go back to Barcelona! Thank you Tanis!!!
