Departure Point

Plaça de Santa Maria, Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona, Spain In front of the main door of Santa Maria del Mar

  • Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, Barcelona, Spain
    The basilica of Santa Maria del Mar in Barcelona, also known as the "cathedral of La Ribera", is one of the most perfect examples of Gothic style architecture due to its harmonious proportions and the serenity of the ensemble.
    30 minutes
  • Carrer de Montcada, Barcelona, Spain
    Barcelona's Carrer Montcada is lined with a succession of medieval, Renaissance and baroque palazzos, their majestic doorways opening to reveal their beautiful courtyards of venerable stone. They bear witness to the rich and glorious past of medieval Barcelona's main street which was home to the city's nobles.
  • Placa del Rei, Barcelona, Spain
    The Conjunt Monumental de la Plaça del Rei in Barcelona is, arguably, the Gothic architectural ensemble which best exemplifies the city's medieval past.
    30 minutes
  • Placa de Sant Jaume, Barcelona, Spain
    The Plaça Sant Jaume has been the city's political centre almost since its inception. Today the Plaça Sant Jaume is an open space, a "lung" in the middle of the Gothic Quarter. The square is the site of the most important buildings in the lives of Barcelona and Catalonia: City Hall and the Palau de la Generalitat.
    15 minutes
  • Carrer de Marlet, 5, 08002 Barcelona, Spanje
    The Jewish Quarter of medieval Barcelona is home to one of Europe’s oldest synagogues, which has been restored and opened to the public. From the 9th century to the 14th century Barcelona had a large Jewish community that is thought to have numbered around 4,000 people. Two neighbourhoods of narrow streets, called "calls" from the Hebrew word "kahal", which means community or congregation, sprung up around them.
    15 minutes
  • Barcelona Cathedral, Barcelona, Spain
    The Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia watches impassively the passing of time in a constantly moving and changing Barcelona. The Cathedral also reflects the different generations who have left their imprint and the blend of architectural styles in this predominantly Gothic building which needs to be viewed inside in order to fully understand its splendor.

We are very happy we booked this guided tour and recommend it strongly. We didn't realise we had booked a Spanish tour, but the tour guide was willing to translate to English for us. She had a lot of knowledge about the book and about Barcelona. The group was small and we were able to ask any questions we had. It was very special that we were allowed inside many of the buildings.

Compramos el cupón de Groupon y el mapa que acompaña al citado cupón muestra el número 38 de Portal del Ángel.. para nada empieza ahí la ruta y cuando reservas no te informan de otro punto.. está supermal indicado y cuando intentamos contactar con ellos el día en cuestión no hubo manera de hablar. Finalmente encontramos a la guía iniciado ya el recorrido y no le habían informado de nuestra reserva a pesar de tener nosotros el ok en nuestro correo. Bastante lamentable.. un poco asquito de organización. No creo que repitamos ni lo recomendemos.
