Your guide will drive you to all of the must-see sites in the city, making sure that you have plenty of opportunity to walk around and see everything up close, depending on your interests.
See the Cathedral and Antoni Gaudi's famous La Sagrada Família, Barcelona's funkiest church. Begun in 1883, it is still not finished! Also visit Park Güell, a garden complex with fascinating architectural elements situated on a hill in the Gràcia district. From the large cross at the Park's high-point you can get the most complete view of Barcelona and the bay, including the Sagrada Família and the Montjuïc area.
Your next stop by another of Gaudi's works, Casa Mila, a deeply controversial building. Its rippled stone facade and harsh wrought iron balconies earned it the nickname "La Pedrera." This will be followed by Casa Batlló, your third Gaudi stop, is known locally as "Casa dels ossos," or house of bones, due to its exterior skeletal quality.
Now make your way to Monjuic, a village rising 700 feet above the city's commercial port and full of cafes, boutiques, art galleries and museums. Your final stop will be Las Ramblas, the most famous Barcelona street, for a true taste of the city. You will enjoy this walking portion of the tour as you make your way through the narrow winding streets in the old city around Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter.

| The Starr family is back from their Mediterranean cruise and had a wonderful time. The excursions they booked with ShoreTrips were excellent. The guides were delightful and very accommodating, adjusting timing to my clients' wishes whenever requested. The driver/guides'warm personalities added a special dimension to the experience and they had a marvelous time. |
