The 10 Best Day Trips from in Barcelona, Catalonia
Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

We have 5 in our group who flew in from Toronto just after noon time for a 7-night cruise embarking the same day. With this tight schedule, we were looking for a private transfer which would allow us to make a stop at La Sagrada Familia for some pictures, as two of us have never been to Barcelona and would like to have a glimpse of this famous attraction. Xavier was very responsive to our initial inquiry and all follow-up emails and courteous in letting us fit this in our very tight time-frame and shown us a couple of landmarks without having to pay a lot more. Our flight arrived slightly earlier than scheduled and Xavier was almost there when we called. He is friendly and welcoming. His driving was excellent and we felt safe and comfortable. We also booked our return transfer from the cruise port back to BCN airport right after disembarkation. His partner, Roger, was also a very good driver. We will definitely use their service again if we return to this beautiful Spanish city in the future.

My mum and I had the best time with this experience. The walk through the market, picking and choosing the food we were going to cook was fun. We also got to meet other travellers and socialise while eating tapas before we started cooking. The chef was really helpful and enthusiastic which made the experience really enjoyable.

Uni was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about Barcelona and Montserrat and he was the perfect guide for a hiking trip. He has lots of experience when it comes to outdoor adventure, but he also knows how to slow it down if need be. Anyone interested in nature, history, hiking, or architecture should definitely take this tour with Uni! 10/10 highly recommended!

This is going to be a much delayed review and for that I am sorry. We used the service in September 2019 during our first Mediterranean cruise. It was our first big trip and I wanted my husband to LOVE the experience so I worked at finding providers that exceeded all expectations. Barcelona Day Tours did that for us. Communication prior and reservation was easy and well done. Airport arrival found our guide Christian exactly where we expected. We has a marvelous day and he kept us entertained with stories and the sights. We also had skip the line to Park Guell which worked great. As the tour was ending and jet lag starting to set in we got dropped off right at the entry to our cruise ship, no issues, no worries. I was so pleased with a super special private start to our big trip.

We had our excursion with David and he picked up us promptly when he said he would, and was a joy to spend the day with. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating to the physical restrictions of some of the members of our group. We even got rained on for a short time, and it only served to enhance the experience :) Montserrat is a Barcelona must see, and if you can make it Sitges, I highly recommend it! Thanks again David!
