A slice of real Barcelona life

If you are looking for an overall introduction to the old part of the city, fusing the old and the new, the cool and the kitsch, for both body and soul, or if you simply want to have a taste of everything, then look no further. Here, we include our favourite highlights from the different tours we offer.

We'll introduce you to Barcelona's cuisine, local speciality cheeses and cava, show you around at the city's most colourful market (the Boqueria), visit some creative studios and drop into both traditional and designer stores. All this is spiced up with historical notes and juicy anecdotes on this vibrant part of town, giving you the low-down on the changes it has undergone and an insight into the local way of life.
