Tour description

Come with us as we take a journey through the last two millennia in Barcelona.
Our itinerary is packed with ancient ruins, fascinating stories, urban legends, and an in-depth look at Catalan culture.

Our journey begins in the historic Roman area of the city, where we learn about early martyrs, brave knights, and charismatic emperors. We then get a glimpse of a day in the life of a Medieval resident of Barcelona. Our last area is an architectural analysis of some of the fascinating works of Barcelona's most notable architect, Antoni Gaudí.

Visiting a new city can be tough, and it's hard to know where to begin. Lucky for us, we'll point you in the right direction when it comes to authentic Spanish and Catalan food, local festivals, timeless traditions, and fun nights out. You won't want to miss it!😉

Tyler was a very enthusiastic guide. He had some much information about all the history of buildings and places and little tips and facts that is kept interesting all the tour. When you walkby some places you don’t know what is inside but now you do know. He is also a great storyteller. Great !! Keep up the good work Tyler. It was a pleasure 🙂

A very interesting tour with nice facts, well told and with a lot of enthousiasm! I would definitely go on another tour with Tyler. Even though it was raining a lot, the tour was a great succes!

Tyler turned what could have merely been a lovely stroll through the old city of Barcelona listening to a monotonous, rote recitation of facts and figures, into what turned out to be the highlight of my vacation. OK, full disclosure - Tyler is my son and this was my first time in Europe, but as his Dad and first time visitor to BCN, I can assure you this: - Tyler will walk along with you through the parts of BCN most worth seeing. - Tyler will parlay his innate sense of wonder, his passion for a subject he loves, his encyclopedic mind, his ability to observe the smallest quirky detail and his friendly and funny demeanor to make your tour into what may remember as the best part of your visit.
