Unexpectedly emotional
Seeing the Sagrada up close nearly brought me to tears. The guide's stories gave it so much depth.

The Gothic Quarter
Your Day Tour of Barcelona begins with a walk around the famous Gothic Quarter. The picturesque, cobbled streets are home to many fantastic sites; you’ll see ruins of the Temple of Augustus, which stood at the heart of the ancient Roman city, a Picasso frieze, and the modern seats of power in Catalonia. One of the highlights of the area is the magnificent Gothic Cathedral of Barcelona, dedicated to Saint Eulalia. Take the elevator up to the terrace, for incredible views of the Gothic Quarter; go down to the crypt and explore the cathedral’s cloister, where 13 geese live among the palm trees. Why? In memory of Saint Eulalia who was martyred aged 13 by the Romans.
La Sagrada Familia
After a break for lunch, the group will take a taxi to Gaudi’s unfinished masterpiece. No day in Barcelona would be complete without seeing La Sagrada Familia up close. With a skip-the-line entrance on this tour, you’ll enter straight into the church that Barcelona hopes will finally be completed by 2026. As your senses try to absorb all the colors, and sculptures, your guide will help you focus on the different stories. The history of the church and its architecture is just as fascinating. The deeply religious Gaudi even moved here from Park Guell so he could dedicate all his time and energies to the forest of stone that would become his final resting place. Your tour of La Sagrada Familia will end with a visit to Gaudi’s tomb in the church’s crypt.
Park Guell
Another short taxi ride and discover how Gaudi transformed a rocky hill into an enchanting wonderland and incorporated nature into his designs. You’ll learn more about Gaudi’s style and how it evolved; you’ll see his passion for color, natural lines, and details throughout the park. Stop to see the famous El Drac, the smiling lizard that has become the symbol of Catalonia, and take memorable photos of your day tour in front of the most stunning views in Barcelona.

All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are limited to 6 guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining our uniquely tiny group sizes can sometimes be a little tricky, mathematically speaking. For example, we want to ensure that traveling families and friends can tour together so on rare occasions we may add one or two guests in order to not split groups. On that same note, you may also find yourself on tour with less than six people! We thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
