Christian met us on time at an easy to find location. His passion for the history of Barcelona was infectious and his knowledge was undeniable. He brought history alive and his tour was more than we could have expected. I highly recommend his tour. By the end of our winding through the narrow streets and visiting hidden plazas we felt as if he was a friend.

Description

Experience neighbourhoods off the beaten track. See Barcelona through the eyes of a local.

This guided walk through the historic center of Barcelona will let you discover more than the usual: buildings and squares you will not encounter so easily.

Immerse with us into the captivating history of the city while strolling through the maze of little streets in El Born and the Gothic Quarter. Enjoy a drink in a magical little square where mostly locals go.

Learn about the most important Catalan legends. What’s the significance of the dragon that can be spotted all over the city? Why was a bat decisive in a battle? What´s the legend behind the Catalan flag?

During this 2.5 hours walk we will make the connection from medieval Catalan history and legends to what inspired architects and motivates the independence movement.

If you love history brought to life by passionate storytellers and you want to enjoy the intimacy of a small group then this is your experience. After the walk you will discover details you have not noticed before. See the city with different eyes!

In case you only speak German but not English please contact us prior to your booking.

Wonderful tour
It was truly an enlightening experience.. we got to see the real historical side of Barcelona.. explained wonderfully by Christian.. he is a patient guide and explains well any query we have. If one wishes to know about the inner streets of Barcelona.. go with Christian.
Highlight of our trip
I usually hesitate to go on guided tours because I'm afraid of being dragged through touristy schlock by a bored and indifferent guide but in this case, I had no need to fear because this tour was fantastic! Christian was a great host and was deeply interested in the history of the area. He was friendly, charming, and genuinely cared that we had a fulfilling time. This was the highlight of our trip and I recommend it highly.
