Private Barcelona Highlights Half Day Tour

This private half-day tour will take you to some of the most famous sights in Barcelona, while you enjoy the comfort of a private driver and guide. Sagrada Familia The jewel in the crown of Gaudi’s works, this temple is a synthesis of his overall conception of architecture. The richness of detail and its significance need explaining in order to appreciate this fascinating and extraordinary building in full. Frightening from outside, but a magic of color inside. Gaudi wanted the temple to be financed voluntarily by the people, not by taxes or public funding, and that’s just what your entrance fees do (included in our tour price): finance the completion of the building started in 1882. This temple is scheduled to be completed by 2026. Montjuic Hill Montjuic is a prominent hill overlooking the Barcelona harbor. For ages, it played a strategic part in the defense of the city and it’s one of the city’s natural elevations. Nowadays, the area is a touristic magnet for Barcelona. Montjuïch Hill with its parks, art galleries, museums and the 1992 Olympic Ring of sports stadiums, provides spectacular views over the city. Gothic District Explore the Old Barcelona where you will discover the roots of this bi-millennial city, from the Romans to today. It is a nice and easy walk that will transport you to an ancient medieval European city. The Gothic Cathedral, the remains of the Roman Wall, Plaça del Rei (King’s Square): a medieval marvel with the Tower of King Martí, 5 floors high which was built in 1555; Santa Àgata’s chapel (15th Century) and the Saló del Tinell (1359- 1362). It is said that the Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabela, received Columbus here on his first return from America.
