What travelers say.

This was a great way to see the city! Ivan was super nice, and we loved exploring the beautiful sights with a local, plus we got great suggestions on local restaurants. Thanks Ivan!

Nick M.

One of the highlights of our Barcelona trip! Our driver brought us everywhere we could possibly go and then some. We were able to see everything privately without a huge crowd.

Hope L.

The best you can see in 4 hours. Very helpful and professional driver! Thank you once again!

What your booking includes.

Included in the price:

  • Private vehicle with a local, English-speaking driver.
  • Pickup and drop-off at any central hotel, B&B or apartment.
  • Fuel, tolls, taxes and fees.

Not included:

  • Tickets. Your driver can tell you the best way to book them.
  • Airport or port pickup. You can book an airport transfer separately.
  • Meals, drinks and tips.

Everything you need to know.

Is this a private sightseeing ride?

Yes. It's just your group, in a private car or minivan (depending on the number of passengers) with your own driver. No strangers and no fixed group schedule.

Will our driver tell us about the places we see?

Yes, in their own way. Your driver is a local, English-speaking professional, not a licensed guide, so expect stories, tips and restaurant ideas rather than a history lesson. Like seeing the city with a friend who lives there.

Can we change the stops?

Yes. Skip stops, stay longer or add places of your own, as long as it all fits in your booking's slot. Just tell your driver what you'd like before you set off.

How long do we get at each stop?

As long as you want. Get out, walk around, take photos or visit the landmark, then move on when you're ready. The only limit is the 4 hours overall.

We have special requirements. What should we do?

Add service animals, accessibility needs or oversized luggage to the booking notes so we can plan for them.

Can I cancel?

Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours before your pickup time.
