Overview

This Tour will give you a quick insight into the rich and complex history of Barcelona. On a relaxed walk through the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter we will follow the footsteps of its ancestors and learn more about different epochs and personalities that shaped the history of this heroic city over 2000 years.
Founded by the Romans in 1c.BC, Barcelona still embraces part of its origins inside the medieval buildings.
During prosperous times of Kingdom of Aragon, it was one of central ports of medieval Sea-trade with many merchant and diplomatic delegations established in the city.
The Jewish community, living in El Call, also helped in consolidation of culturally rich and cosmopolitan spirit over centuries until 1492, when Iberian Peninsula stopped being homeland for all 3 religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
Eventually we will learn more about the political changes after the War of Spanish Succession (1702-1715), still echoing today.

Excellent 2-day tour of Barcelona

645davyt, 22-12-2019

My wife and I had a great 2-day tour of Barcelona with Maria who expertly structured the tours to meet our request that the pace be leisurely, not too tiring and a maximum of 4 hours per day. Maria had limousine to drive us around Barcelona with stops on important sites such as the Montjuic Hill, Olympic stadium, Casa Batllo, La Pedrera and the La Sagrada Familia Cathedral. Maria walked us around the old town and introduced us to some Catalan cuisine. I strongly recommend Maria if you are looking for private and customized tours.

Maria was awesome! She knows all the ins and out of Barcelona and took us to ll the places we wanted to see. Her knowledge of the history of the city was amazing. Her passion for the city made our tour very exciting.

Maria was punctual in picking us up and made sure we weren't rushed as we had an older person in our group. She spent half a day with us and also had a driver take us on a scenic tour around the city.

I would recommend her in a flash!

Maria Nadina is an excellent guide. We have used her twice for two different tours at two different trips to Barcelona in 2016 and 2018. We have recommended her to friends. She is prompt, caring, knowledgeable, organized and speaks excellent English. We will use her very professional and friendly services again if our 2021 trip to Barcelona comes to fruition. She is highly recommended. Lynn S. (Alabama)

Maria was a wonderful guide. She took us on a walking tour of Barcelona that explored the nooks and crannies that tourists would never see on their own. Her knowledge of the history of Catalonia, Spain, and Europe was superb. It was a truly amazing experience. We highly recommend her.

Wir haben Maria gebeten, eine Tour zu planen, um das wahre Leben der Katalonenen zu sehen. Touristische Ziele kennen wir bereits, doch wie und wo leben die Einwohner von Barcelona, was machen Sie in Ihrer Freizeit, das hat uns interessiert. Maria hat uns sehr viel interessantes erzählt und gezeigt. Es war ein wunderschöner Tag. Wenn wir das nächste Mal in Barcelona sind, wissen wir das wir Maria vorher wieder kontaktieren. Maria spricht sehr gut deutsch und ist sehr freundlich. Geht super auf Wünsche ein. Top Empfehlung für eine private Tour durch Barcelona.
