Benefits of a private tour?
Our tours are very easy to arrange: our reservation and payment procedures are simple and straightforward.
Your main benefits will be: privacy, comfort and freedom of movement, and at your own pace.
You make the most of your short time in Barcelona.
As much as we can we try to stay one step ahead of the crowds even at the busy venues. We also have instant access to sights and museums.
Cost-wise, with parties of 10-plus, our private tours cost just about the same than similar mass-organized tours sold on an individual basis.
For smaller parties, we are cheaper than most luxury service providers because there are no intermediaries: you are in contact with the very professionals who will attend you.
