The Gaudi tour: This tour will take you to the best of Gaudí, at different points of the city, in a comfortable coach and avoiding entrance queues.

The Montjuïc & Panoramic Tour: This tour combines two areas of natural beauty used by Barcelona for culture and recreation: The Waterfront which is a living example of how the very old can be successfully combined with the very new; and the Montjuïch Hill with its parks, art galleries, museums and the 1992 Olympic Ring of sports stadiums also provides spectacular views over the city.

All Barcelona Highlights Tour: The ideal tour for people on a short visit: the only way to see everything, covering the distances and avoiding the queues. Visit all the best sites in Barcelona by combining The Gaudi Tour and The Montjuïc & Panoramic Tour.

The Montserrat Tour: Montserrat is a unique Natural Park, and a massive rock over 4000 feet high, visible for miles, with extraordinary landscapes and wonderful views. Over the mountain will find a Benedictine monastery nearly 1000 years old, perched half way up the mountain and sheltered by its peaks.

The Barça tour: FCBarcelona Stadium and Museum. A guided tour (Football Ground, Changing Rooms, Press Room, Museum, Trophies, etc) to the Camp Nou. Current capacity is 98,787, the largest stadium in Europe and 3rd largest in the world, but before the standing areas were banned by UEFA its capacity was 120,000.

The New Architecture Tour: The end of 20th and beginning of 21st centuries have been the era of design, a new way of understanding things around us, of giving functional objects originality and charm.
