If you only have a few hours during which to see all that the fascinating and complex city of Barcelona has to offer, if you have special cultural interests, or special requirements, such as a walking pace suitable for children – private tours in Barcelona are the perfect option for you.

Many private tours in Barcelona are available, and even though their price is higher, this cost is divided between the members of your group, usually between 6 and 100. These custom made tours are tailored to the preferences of your and your family or companions’ preferences, who are the only members of the group, and it is conducted in the language of your choice.

Not only do you get to choose the sights you will explore, but you may determine the itinerary and the pace, so that if, for example, you wish to meet local people, you can stay at a certain quaint tapas bar for a few hours longer, or if you have kids with you, you can make the tour shorter or include more sights that they can enjoy.

Here are some examples of interesting and highly enjoyable private tours of Barcelona:

A private tour of the Jewish quarter

As is well known, Barcelona was once home to one of the most culturally and spiritually flourishing eras of Jewish history. You will be amazed to discover that an ancient Jewish synagogue from the 3rd century has been recently (twenty years ago) discovered and now serves the local Jewish community of Barcelona. Visiting this and other emotionally charged sites, located in the shadowy narrow streets of the Jewish district of the Gothic Quarter, can provide not only Sepharadic Jews but any Jew, with lifelong cherished memories.

A private tour of tapas bars

Enjoying a long lunch (or several long lunches…) in a tapas bar, is a wonderful way to get to know Barcelona locals, and to become acquainted with traditional or modern versions of this popular feature of Spanish gastronomy. Over a glass of wine, you can enjoy a relaxing meal with your family and friends, while soaking in the local atmosphere and way of life.

There are many other private tours in Barcelona you might enjoy, as diverse as the city itself. If you have only a short time between flights, there are private tours in Barcelona that give you a comprehensive overview of the city. If you have just docked from a cruise, or are in town for a conference, you can take a relaxing private shore trip, and there are many more such options.
