Overview

Discover Barcelona at the hands of a local friend at your own pace doing exactly what you want to do!

In this completely personalized tour, we will communicate beforehand to discuss your needs and interests to create a customized itinerary which will be a mash-up of your Barcelona bucket list and the top sights and suggestions. The details on this page are just suggestions!

When we meet, I'll be like a local friend, showing you around my city and telling you stories and anecdotes about the city, history, culture, and my local experience. Keep in mind that this is a private experience just for you and your travel party, so we'll go at your pace and anything that comes up during the day we can adjust or modify. Please message for inquiries and concerns!

My objective is to be the bridge to help you understand the local life and identity of Barcelona so that you can also see the magical feeling that attracts so many people to this beautiful city. Just follow me!

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
