TOUR DESCRIPTION & ITINERARY

Enjoy a morning of culture, creativity and history on this private art tour of the Born neighborhood! 

During this customized tour you’ll visit several active workshops, engage with Barcelona's local artisans and learn about their work. Through these encounters you’ll develop a personal understanding of the local creative culture in Barcelona and its contemporary development.  

Your experienced and charismatic English-speaking guide will meet you in a comfortable café where you'll enjoy an amazing rooftop coffee and then accompany you through the Old Town's backstreets.  Amongst the workshops we will visit, you will find upscale leather craftsmen, jewellers, weavers, lamp makers, toy designers, and clothing designers - for both men and women.
​
You’ll be taken to hidden-away workshops and introduced to artisans who will be proud to show you what they do. Some will have been working their trade for generations, keeping ancient skills alive, while others are fashionable and new, adding a contemporary flair to the city’s creative scene.

Your private tour guide will accommodate your particular interests as much as time allows. There will not be any pressure to buy anything, and there are no commissions involved. You’ll feel very different about Barcelona and its famous local art than you did three hours earlier!
​
This is a fantastic way to explore a part of Barcelona's Old Town that is hard to navigate on your own!

"Spectacular tour"
Nancy showed us so many of the special details that you look for in private tours that big tour companies fail to provide. As importantly, she was a delight to get to know and brought us to a very special wine bar that we would never have found on our own and we frequented several times after our tour.
~ GL Rosen from Connecticut
