Our take

It's a full night out in three hours: a walk through the Gothic Quarter and El Born, tapas with wine and cava somewhere traditional and, to finish, flamenco in a medieval palace. All with a guide just for you and the show tickets sorted. The rating is good: 4.6 out of 5 from more than 100 reviews. Because it's private, the price per person depends a lot on group size: about €114 for two, about €88 each for four.
