TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
|
TOUR DESCRIPTION & ITINERARYThis tour shows you the top ten most popular sights in Barcelona. The city of Barcelona has grown exponentially during the last century and a half. When the city walls could no longer hold the vast amount of people who came to Barcelona, an expansion plan was put into place; The Ensanche or Eixample. Incorporating old surrounding villages, Barcelona changed from a small Mediterranean city into one of the most popular tourist destinations. With the 1992 Olympic Games Barcelona transformed into a cultural, culinary and historical paradise. Limited by its natural borders and Montjuïc, Barcelona offers beaches, mountains, a historical centre and world renowned (Modernist) architecture.
Your discovery takes you inside Gaudi's must see la Sagrada Familia Church - his almost finished creation, to the labyrinth of streets of the Medieval City - the Gothic Quarter, as well as everything else in between! After lunch in a non-touristy restaurant, will be spent exploring points via taxi or chauffeured car to see farther afield in the city. We will show you Plaça de Espanya - home of the 1929 World's Fair, the Olympic Village & Port, Barcelona's revamped Inner Harbor, the Arc d'Triomf, gateway to the 1888 Universal Exhibition, then over to the swankiest street in town, Paseo de Gracia, with beautiful modernist apartment buildings and we will go inside Gaudi's eclectic Park Güell and his almost finished, la Sagrada Familia.

"Awesome tour!"
My wife and I booked the sights tour with a private car. The driver picked us up in a very nice Mercedes and Nancy proceeded to show us around this large city - without having to walk for hours! The knowledge she has of Barcelona and the Gaudi sites is unreal! She really brought the Sagrada Familia to life and showed many, many small and interesting details. The last hour walking tour through Barri Gotic was very cool as well - without her experience we would have never noticed dozens of interesting sites.

"Making Barcelona Special"
Nancy added tremendously to the success of this trip. Not only was her pre-trip advice about how to go about seeing things, getting tickets, and restaurant advice indispensable, the knowledge, history, and anecdotes she shared during the outings captivated the attention of everyone. Personally, I really appreciate the value added by a great tour guide over trying to read a tour book on the fly. Enchanting Barcelona Tours can make a big difference to how much you get out of a trip to Barcelona.
