It’s not always easy to get to the very heart of Barcelona – the city hides some of its secrets well! The best way of truly getting to know the Catalan capital is a guided tour with José, a friendly and knowledgeable professional guide who knows the city inside out.

All of José’s tours are wheelchair-accessible.
