Bodegas, Shops and History of Barcelona tour Step by Step
After meeting with the guide at your accommodation, you’ll head towards la Rambla, the popular entrance to the Old city. This is probably the most famous street in Barcelona and we’ll show you why, and of course, food has something to do with it. A hot chocolate in the famous Petritxol street will be the entrance to Barcelona’s food traditions.
After this first stop, be ready to discover the history of this fascinating city while walking around the Barrio Gótico (Gothic Quarter). The ancient roman city walls, the exterior of the Cathedral, Saint James Squate, the Old Jewish Quarter and the King Square are part of the route. We’ll end this History part with a vermut and some traditional appetisers.
Do you know that the vermut helps to open your appetite? This is the reason why after the vermut we will head towards a local bodega to enjoy tapas and platillos such as Iberian ham, croquettes, esqueixada and cheese. Do not worry! We won’t forget the Pa amb tomàquet (bread with tomato)

Anna was great! She was informative without being boring, catered to our specific sight-seeing requests, and kept us fully enlightened and entertained. How this woman has so much knowledge, I don't know! She literally had the answer to every single question we had. We stopped for a coffee mid-way as she could sense we were getting tired from walking and I enjoyed chatting to her socially. I 100% recommend her for anyone going to Barcelona!
We engaged Anna for a 3 days private tour in Barcelona. She is very dedicated and knowledgeable on every places of interest in Barcelona. When my child wasn't feeling too well during the trip, she was flexible and accommodative to our last minute changes and requests. My family truly enjoyed our trip in Barcelona and had a wonderful time spent with Anna. If you are looking for customized private tour, Anna will be the best person to engage!!
We concur with all the previous wonderful reviews of Anna and her team. We ended up having three tours with Anna and each one was different, informative and superb. If you would prefer to soak in the city and keep your nose out of the guide books and maps contact Barcelonina. Our trip to Spain had been derailed but once we contacted Jordi, everything started to improve. These folks have it together, make great suggestions on what to do and are patient with letting you make up your mind. Barcelona would not have been nearly as fascinating without them.
