Fun for the parents and the little ones!

If you come to Barcelona with your children, fear not: we have designed a tour in the old part which can be enjoyed by parents and offspring alike. Based around our Favourite Fusion tour, the twist here is to include visits, games and stories to keep the attention of the younger ones (and the odd easily-distracted adults). These might include an artisanal sweet shop where they can see how the candies are made, an original toy workshop, an old-fashioned milk bar where they can indulge in a creamy traditional milkshake, guessing games in the food market, and more.

With them thus occupied, there is time to explain to the grown-ups of the group the anecdotes on the history, culture, cuisine and associated tales of the city.

Given that the wee darlings can tire just as much as they can dash around, we stop off for sufficient spiritual and physical rests, and snack and drink, so that they can recover enough to drive us all to distraction once again…

WHEN: every day except Sunday from 10 to 2 or from 4 to 8

MEETING POINT: At the corner of Carrer Angels and Carrer Elizabets, just next to the MACBA (museum of contemporary art), situated in the neighbourhood of “El Raval”.

PRICE: Since the tour is directed towards the kids, it is advisable to do this tour privately (if at the same time there are more families with children, they can be joined). €135 in total.

BOOKING: Please phone or e-mail us as soon as possible, since the groups are limited to a maximum of ten. The tours can be given in English, Dutch or Spanish.
