You’ll begin your tour in the l’Eixample district, easily distinguishable by its organized, grid-like appearance. This well-known neighborhood that was created over 150 years ago where we will explore Gaudi's creations, including his almost finished basilica, la Sagrada Familia.

After exploring Gaudi's masterpiece inside with skip the line tickets, your guide will share with you the wonderful creations of Gaudi's apartment buildings in Barcelona most upscale street - Paseo de Gracia. Barcelona's version of Rodeo Drive is home to la Pedrera, Casa Batllo, Casa Amatller and Casa Morera i Lleo.

Next, it is off to the Gothic Quarter, Barcelona’s oldest and arguably, the most beautiful neighborhoods. You’ll leave your vehicle behind to really explore this area’s pedestrianized narrow, winding streets. You'll start this part of the tour by trying Spain's most famous pastry - churros and chocolate in one of the city's oldest cafes. From there it is off to explore Roman ruins, the 13th Century Barcelona Cathedral, the Jewish Quarter - including a visit to the Antique Synagogue, Placa Sant Jaume and the city’s longest stretch of intact Roman wall.
