Barcelona

Learn to read the city!

Discover the world famous buildings of Barcelona, embedded in an extremely compact and multi-layered urban structure.
In the last decades and in particular since the ‘92 Olympic Games, reorientation towards the sea, the introduction of new infrastructure buildings and the transformation of obsolete industrial zones have been the starting point for a profound rethinking of the city: a laboratory for urban planning and innovative architectural strategies.
We provide customized and predefined architectural guided tours that are efficiently conducted and logistically drawn up, so as to give you a profound view of Barcelona’s architecture and its socio-cultural context. Our services also include hotel reservations, transport services, museum tickets and admission to restaurants.

Happy Clients

Monica was an exceptional guide. She provided excellent information in a most engaging fashion and paced the tour very well. We learned a great deal and want to thank everyone who helped arrange this, and of course, many thanks to Monica herself!

The guided tour with Lorenzo was a real highlight of our trip to Barcelona. He brought the city’s rich architectural history to life with his detailed professional knowledge and enthusiasm for sharing his passion for the city. I was particularly impressed by the way in which he engaged our two children, aged 10 and 12, and encouraged them to consider the history and development of the city through a new lens. This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I highly recommend the tour.

We went on this tour when we where on a school trip in Barcelona and we saw many different area's of the city combined with a very clear story about it's origins and history.
Luc B - Breda
The lecture was a brilliant introduction to Barcelona for our students and helped them a lot in understanding the city and the places we visited during the week. The tour itself was the highlight of the excursion. Lorenzo did a great job in activating the students and is a great story teller.

Lorenzo did an amazing job tailoring a custom tour for us with very short notice and some time and location restrictions. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the tour. Thank you for bringing a bit of this special city to life for us!

"We had two wonderful days. Very inspiring for my daughter who wants to study architecture and very insightful. We all learned lots of history background and not even to mention the visual stimulation of a beautiful city. Definitely recommended and we hope to be back."
