Your own guide. Your own itinerary. Your own Barcelona.
Barcelona Secrets is a small specialist agency offering 100% private guided tours in Barcelona and Catalonia. Every tour we run is private — just you and your group, with your own expert local guide and comfortable private transport.
We cover the full range — private city tours of Barcelona, day trips to Montserrat, Andorra, Girona and the Costa Brava, and wine tours to Penedès and Priorat. Every experience can be tailored to your interests, your pace, and your idea of a good day.
What We Offer
Private City Tours of Barcelona
From a focused 3-hour walk through the Gothic Quarter to a full day with Gaudí, Modernisme, and a proper Catalan lunch — we cover the city in depth, at your pace. Our guides are local experts who love what they do and go well beyond the standard script. Both chauffeured and walking formats available.
Catalonia is extraordinary — and most visitors only see a fraction of it. Our private day trips take you to the places worth going: a thousand-year-old monastery on a mountain, a medieval city unchanged since the Middle Ages, a tiny principality hidden in the Pyrenees, or a coastline that looks like it belongs in a painting.
Catalonia is one of Spain’s most exciting wine regions — and one of the least explored by visitors. We visit family-run wineries in Penedès for sparkling Cava and Corpinnat, Priorat for Spain’s most prestigious reds, and offer a unique full-day experience pairing wine with the extraordinary mountain monastery of Montserrat.
Group tours are efficient. Private tours are better.
With a private guide, the itinerary is yours — not fixed by the slowest person in a crowd of thirty. You stop where you want, ask what you want, and move at a pace that suits you. Your guide isn’t managing a group; they’re focused entirely on making your experience exceptional.
It’s also not as expensive as people assume. Our prices are per group, not per person — which means a private tour for four people can cost the same as four tickets on a group bus, with an incomparably better experience.
Why Barcelona Secrets?
We are a small agency — and we intend to stay that way. Small means every tour matters. Small means our guides are carefully chosen, not just available. Small means when something isn’t right, we fix it — not hide behind a call centre.
Our guides are local experts with deep knowledge of Barcelona’s history, architecture, food, and wine. They speak excellent English and know the difference between showing you something and helping you understand it.
We also love food and wine — genuinely. Which means every tour, wherever possible, includes a great meal, a local market, or a wine tasting that’s worth having.
What our guests say
⭐ 5.0 on Tripadvisor · 79 reviews · Private tours in Barcelona, consistently 5-star rated
“It never felt rushed or commercial — more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend who cares about making sure you have the best time.” — Kathy, USA (Barcelona City Tour)
“He tailored everything to our specific needs and interests. Not only did we learn a lot about this stunning site, but also about Spanish and Catalan history, geography, flora and fauna. Unforgettable day.” — Peggy, USA (Montserrat Tour)
“A very exciting and educational tour. The guide completely adapted to our wishes and needs. A 10/10.” — Meike, Germany (Barcelona City Tour)
“We booked a custom tour spanning nearly three days. Booking was incredibly simple, even though we started out basically saying ‘we have three days in Barcelona, what do we do?'” — James, Washington (Multi-Day Itinerary)
Yes — a private tour in Barcelona is worth it if you want a more flexible and in-depth experience of the city. Once you’ve done it this way, it’s genuinely hard to go back to a standard group tour. If you value your time and actually want to understand what you’re looking at — not just walk past it — a private guide makes an enormous difference.
How much does a private tour in Barcelona cost?
Our private tours in Barcelona start from €200 per group for a walking tour and from €450 for a chauffeured experience. Prices are per group — not per person — which makes them far more competitive than they first appear. A group of four often pays less per person than for a premium group tour, with an incomparably better experience.
Why choose a private tour instead of a group tour?
A private tour gives you full control over your experience — including pace, timing, and what you focus on. You’re not following a flag. Instead of spending forty minutes somewhere because the schedule says so, you spend as long as it takes to actually understand what you’re looking at.
Are private tours in Barcelona customizable?
Yes — private tours in Barcelona are fully customizable around your interests and schedule. Whether you want architecture, food, wine, hidden corners, or a mix of everything, the itinerary is shaped around what actually interests you. Nothing is fixed except the quality of the guide.
What are the best private day trips from Barcelona?
The best private day trips from Barcelona include Montserrat, Girona & Costa Brava, Andorra, and the wine region of Priorat. Montserrat is the most iconic — spectacular mountain, old monastery, extraordinary scenery, less than an hour from the city. Girona and the Costa Brava are the most visually striking. Priorat is essential if you care about wine.
Is Montserrat worth visiting from Barcelona?
Yes — Montserrat is one of the most worthwhile day trips from Barcelona, combining nature, history, and unique views. It’s about 50 minutes from the city but feels completely different — quieter, more dramatic, and deeply connected to Catalan culture. The monastery, the landscape, and the atmosphere make it genuinely memorable.
How many days do you need in Barcelona?
Most people need at least 2 to 3 days to see Barcelona’s main highlights comfortably. With four or five days, you can slow down, explore more deeply, and add a day trip to places like Montserrat or Girona — which is when the experience really starts to change.
What is the best wine region near Barcelona?
The best wine regions near Barcelona are Penedès and Priorat, depending on the kind of experience you want. Penedès is closer and ideal for sparkling Cava and relaxed winery visits. Priorat is further away but produces some of Spain’s most remarkable red wines, with a landscape that makes the journey part of the experience.
Do you only do tours in Barcelona?
No — we offer private tours across Barcelona, Catalonia, and nearby regions. This includes day trips to Montserrat, Girona, Costa Brava, Andorra, and wine tours to Penedès and Priorat, as well as multi-day private itineraries.
How far in advance should I book?
Booking one to two weeks in advance is recommended, especially between April and October. That said, last-minute requests are often possible — just get in touch and we’ll do our best to make it work.
