    Successful Dragon Hunt

    "My family and I had a wonderful time walking Barcelona with Philippe learning how St. George entwines with the city. His stories and information was fascinating and engaging. He easily held our attention and kept engaging with our son. Would absolutely recommend this tour for a varied and different approach to seeing and walking Barcelona. "

    Great tour!

    "I loved that Philippe asked my kids tons of questions regarding their knowledge of dragons and history of the area. They weren’t just talked at, they were engaged through our whole tour. They (and I!) learned a ton and really enjoyed our journey with him through the city. Kids named each dragon we found and even got churros along the way! Thank you so much, Philippe! "

    Philippe was an excellent tour guide

    "The most striking part of Philippe's tour was how well he engaged all members of our group. We ranged in age from 4 to 71. Philippe made sure that he had something interesting to say, and to show, to all of us. He had a great rapport with the youngest members, getting them to name the dragons we found. He would not let them name one of them \"Bob\", a decision I agree with wholeheartedly! He made the little ones laugh, and he made us older types laugh as well. He shared Catalonian views, but welcomed us as valued guests. He knew his stuff, and knew how to share it in an interesting way. I recommend him very highly!"

    Wish Jewish Quarter Was Still There

    It doesn't get any better.....

    "We visited Gothic and Old Town. Teo was a pleasure. Smart, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and really knew the city and its history. It was a private tour. We had never seen shops that were so interesting, unique, merchandised so well and built in structures that were hundreds and even thousands of years old. We went to places the ordinary tourist would not see and had stories that her grandfather told her. She is as good as any tour we've ever been on. Don't miss the opportunity to catch up to her."

Your Ultimate Guide to the Gothic Quarter

Lose yourself in the enchanting maze of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter! Every corner holds a secret, from ancient Roman walls to vibrant modern life. Explore the magical Gothic Quarter with a local guide and create memories that will last a lifetime.

  • History of the Gothic Quarter

    Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, or Barri Gòtic, is the heart of the old city. Its labyrinthine streets hide Roman ruins, medieval buildings, and charming squares. Imagine the stories these ancient stones could tell!

  • Roman Roots in the Gothic Quarter

    Did you know the Gothic Quarter was built on the Roman settlement of Barcino? You can still see remnants of the Roman walls and the Temple of Augustus. A tour of the Gothic Quarter is a walk through 2,000 years of history.

  • Gothic Quarter's Cultural Heartbeat

    The Gothic Quarter is a cultural feast! It's home to the magnificent Barcelona Cathedral and the Picasso Museum. Let a local guide you through the art and architecture that define this unique neighborhood.

  • Tasting the Gothic Quarter Life

    Get a real taste of Barcelona in the Gothic Quarter. Duck into a classic 'bodega' for some vermouth and tapas. A local can show you the best spots for 'pa amb tomàquet' and other Catalan delights, away from the tourist traps.

  • Gaudí's First Steps in the Gothic Quarter

    Plaça Reial, a famous square in the Gothic Quarter, features lampposts designed by a young Antoni Gaudí. It was one of his very first public works before he became a world-renowned architect. Discover his early genius!
