On 21 September 2019, the moment finally arrived: we had the pleasure of welcoming our 500th guest on one of our private tours or on one of our popular small-group tours with a maximum of six participants. For us, this was a special milestone that made us very proud. Since founding The Barcelona Feeling, our goal has been to create unforgettable moments for our guests – whether through fascinating historical insights, personal encounters, or special places that lie off the usual tourist paths.
The consistently excellent feedback we receive from our guests continually encourages us to keep developing our offerings. Their comments inspire us to design new discoveries and tours that make a stay in Barcelona even more varied and memorable. One example is our Food Tour in the historic center, which we will soon be adding to our program. It combines culinary highlights with fascinating stories about old Barcelona.
Guests from all over the world
Although the majority of our guests come from the United States, our clientele is truly international and diverse. Increasingly, we are also welcoming visitors from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, who particularly appreciate our German-language city tours. We also regularly meet Canadians, Australians, and Britons who want to experience Barcelona through our eyes.
What fascinates us most is the variety of nationalities: we have already welcomed guests from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Middle East, Mexico, the Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, New Zealand, South Africa, and many other countries. Each guest brings their own perspective and interests, making every tour unique. The wonderful feedback we receive from around the world motivates us to continue delivering high quality and to give every guest a truly special experience.
What to do in October in Barcelona
October is an ideal time to travel to Barcelona. The weather is pleasantly mild, often still warm enough for T-shirts, and there are many sunny days when you can enjoy a drink on a terrace. These conditions make it perfect to discover the city on a private tour.
One highlight is our tour of Montjuïc Hill, also known as the Olympic Mountain. Away from the typical sights, hidden treasures await: lush nature, traces of history, spectacular viewpoints, and even a hidden beer garden. Anyone who wants to experience Barcelona more deeply will find the perfect mix of relaxation and discovery on this tour.
Another recommendation is our Exclusive Champagne and Chocolate Tour. It leads to the heart of Cava production in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, where around 90% of the world’s Cava is produced. There, our guests experience the entire production process up close, taste different organic Cavas, and then enjoy a delicious three-course meal in one of the town’s best restaurants. Before returning to Barcelona, we round off the excursion with a visit to a local chocolatier, where fine chocolate bars and pralines are sampled.
Soon to be released: Our new Food Tour in the historic center
Our new Food Tour combines fascinating history with delicious tapas. It begins in the Gothic Quarter and continues with visits to three special restaurants in El Born. After each 30-minute segment of engaging history told by a passionate guide, guests have the chance to try different tapas concepts – from classic Spanish tapas to very traditional pinchos. We round off this culinary experience with a desert stop: Churros con Chocolate in a very traditional location.
We are excited to launch this new experience in Barcelona. The Food Tour can be booked as a private tour.
