Visit Barcelona with an unofficial guide

The pluses and minuses of a private guide

Putting yourself in the hands of a private companion offers numerous advantages: above all from a financial viewpoint. This service will cost you much less than booking a private guide; in addition to this, you will have the assurance that the excursion that has been planned for you will have been put together in order to optimize your time and enable you to visit all the places in which you are interested. At the end of your tour, you can round it off in style by having dinner in one of the restaurants that has been recommended by your companion or a venue that is listed in the articles dedicated to food in Barcelona which you can find on this website. And lastly, but by no means least, the person who has been selected to accompany you on your visit to Barcelona will speak your language. The only negative aspect is that your private companion won't be able to take you into the museums. They will be limited to showing you the "exterior" beauties of the city.
