Highlights
  • Las Ramblas - Start your tour at the famous Ramblas, the heart of the city centre.
  • Mercat de la Boqueria - Enjoy this walking tour of the Old Town and visit the famous Boqueria Market, considered one of the best markets in the world because of its modernist design and the richness of products it offers.
  • Palau Guell - At the beginning of the century, the high class of Barcelona wanted to live in the city centre. The most remarkable example of this desire is the Palau Guell, the house of the same Guell family that founded the construction of the Park Guell and the major patron of Gaudi’s work. Have a look at the facade of this private house, where a young Gaudi shows already all his talent to master the light and create beautiful shapes even with a very limited space.
  • Cat, Fernando Botero - Continue your walking tour to discover the Raval, the most multicultural and off the beaten path district of the Old Town, that attracts people from diverse social, cultural and geographical backgrounds. Visit the Rambla del Raval to take a picture with the enormous Cat Statue by Fernando Botero, probably the cutest statue you will ever see.
  • Telefèric de Montjuïc (Barcelona Cable Car) - Take the Montjuic funicular and get ready for the best views of Barcelona from top. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the Montjuic Cable Car and wonderful views of Barcelona’s iconic skyline.
  • Montjuic Castle - Reach the Montjuic Castle to enjoy a private visit allowed only to our small group. The Montjuic Castle has been a military fortress since its early beginning, witnessing the change of political power in the city. We invite you to an exclusive visit, not opened to general public, where you will be able to enter the dungeons of the several political prisoners that have marked the history of the city.
  • Parc de Montjuic - Arise from the dungeons to the sky to admire a bird’s eye view of Barcelona and its surroundings. The best way to admire Barcelona in all its beauty is from high above the city. This is where Barcelona reveals itself in total splendour. With our exclusive visit, you will have access to the Tower of the Castle, where you can admire a 360ª views over Barcelona. Take the unique chance to shoot your best pictures of Barcelona at sunset time.
  • Estadi Olimpic - Continue your tour visiting the Olympic Barcelona. Pass by the Olympic Stadium and the Palau Sant Jordi, famous for hosting the best concerts in town.
  • Joan Miro Foundation - Pass by the Fundació Joan Miró, created by Miró himself, at first principally with works from his own private collection and with a desire to set up an internationally recognised centre in Barcelona for Miró scholarship and contemporary art research.
  • Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya - MNAC - Along the way, stop at one of the best terraces in the area to savour traditional tapas paired with a local wine or beer.
  • The Magic Fountain - NOW SWITCHED OFF DUE TO DROUGHT PROTOCOL
    After your break, get ready to assist to the enchanting show of the Magic Fountain. It was constructed for the 1929 Universal Exhibition and was meant to be a temporary installation, but the visitors and the people of Barcelona loved it so much that decided to keep it. We are sure that you will get fascinated too by the colourful dancing water of the fountain that every night creates magic in Barcelona.
  • Placa d’Espanya - Have a bird-eye view of Plaça d’Espanya, one of Barcelona’s most important squares, built on the occasion of the 1929 International Exhibition, held at the foot of Montjuïc, in the Sants-Montjuïc district.
  • Centro Comercial Arenas De Barcelona - If you wish, you can enjoy great views of the show from the terrace of the Arenas, a former bullfighting arena nowadays transformed into a Shopping Centre where you find also plenty of options for your dinner and close to the main public transports.

Barcelona with Montse my guide - My guide Montse was wonderful. She has a very good Catalonia angle for discussing the history of Barcelona, the Fort, and the wonderful Tapas joint in the Park. What a pleasant afternoon on the Metro, the teleferic and walking. She also told me about a Jaon Miro museum nearby for later visits. Thanks Montse!!

Five Stars - Miguel's tour of Barcelona was an absolute delight from start to finish! His passion for the city's rich history and vibrant culture was infectious, making every stop along the way feel like an adventure. Miguel's extensive knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the landmarks to life, giving us a deeper appreciation for Barcelona's beauty. He effortlessly navigated through the bustling streets, ensuring we experienced the must-see sights while also uncovering hidden gems off the beaten path. I highly recommend Miguel as a tour guide for anyone looking to explore Barcelona with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable local who truly loves sharing the magic of this incredible city.

Definitely recommended if you are not afraid of heights - Walking through Barcelona is beautiful but you don't immediately know how big the city actually is. By taking the cable car you get a dead impression

Good tour guide - We ended up having a private tour with Olio! The tour wasn’t what I expected but the tour guide was great, very knowledgeable on the history of Barcelona! The cable car was the highlight of the tour and the traditional tapas in a local area as opposed to the touristy areas in Barcelona!

ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE - Don't think they are in business anymore as I have emailed several times about a reservation and have not RECEIVED ONE REPLY. How do you run a business like this?
