Barcelona shines under a different light at night, and it's worth exploring it on a private city tour. Get ready to discover the city's authentic evening state because the locals and the main highlights come out to play as the sun sets.

As the soft evening light falls across the city's sights, follow your local host to discover Statue el Gat de Botero, Gran Teatre del Liceu, and other major spots. Your host will point out some of the details you might have missed in each stop as they reveal themselves during the evening lights and around a less touristy crowd. With the main highlights of Barcelona illuminated, your perspective of the city will be different as it was during the day.

Take advantage of the cooler, calmer evening and discover where the locals gather to unwind. And just because your tour ends doesn't mean your night does too. Keep it going with local recommendations of where to go in Barcelona at night. Enjoy a delicious local drink before saying goodbye to your host and enjoy the rest of your night in Barcelona like a local.

The local hosts are natural storytellers, each one with a different background ranging from arts to history. They can't wait to share some of their unique stories and personal anecdotes with you!

We have had wonderful experiences with several WithLocals guides around the world and Sebastian did not disappoint. A perfect evening of visiting several small pubs mixed with just the right amount of interesting historical facts as we walked through the city. We love Barcelona - it's a favorite city and we are already planning our return trip and hopefully, a second visit with Sebastian! We have to hear how his Netflix movie turned out!Don't hesitate - book with Sebastian

My friend and I, mothers of 4 each, escaped home for three days in Barcelona!!! the evening with Sebastian was one of the highlights of our trip. Sebastian was funny and knowledgeable, and open for adjustments according to our taste desire and will. It was our request to meet at 19:30 but we recommend to start the evening much later only after having dinner since most of the places come to life much later in the evening, and also better do the drinking tour on a fuul stomach ;)Great evening with Sebastian!

I can’t say enough good things about Elvira. She was welcoming and friendly from the beginning. Messaged with me a few times to really custom tailor my evening nightlife and drink tour. She was a terrific guide, knowing pretty much something about every nook and corner we explored. And best of all, she fit in almost immediately as If I’ve known her for years, she really does have that good a friendly vibe and it’s wonderful! Highly recommended she’s an A+ guide and I’ll definitely book her again next time I’m in town! What an amazing person and guide

Elvira is fun, friendly and enthusiastic about being a tour guide. She was born and raised in Barcelona, and you can tell by her knowledge of the area and history. She took us to some off the beaten track places to get some delicious local cocktails and hang out at some very friendly and welcoming local bars. She asks a lot of questions so she can tailor the tour to your areas of interest taste. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Elvira if you are looking for someone who really knows Barcelona and its history and is just a lot of fun to hang out with. We will definitely be looking her up again when we come back to Barcelona!!!Wonderful and fun filled evening with Elvira!!!

We had a great tour with Lusi. She truly loves Barcelona and will make you love it too. Not only did she take us to cool bars and give good drink recommendations, she took the time to show us hidden gems of the city and answered any questions we had about the life and culture of the city. After the tour, she even showed us a place to eat dinner and recommended what we should order there. Book with Lusi; you will not be disappointed!!Fun Night Out

Lusi is a force of nature and she enjoys her job. She went the extra mile. Lusi did a bar tour for us but she doesn’t really drink so the places she took us aren’t really her personal haunts. It was nice having her to ourselves but we wouldn’t have minded the dynamic of another couple of tourists on the tour with us. I believe she can talk to anyone so anyone could be assured she will be an enthusiastic host.Force of nature

Karina tour provided our first ever taste of Barcelona “Vermouth” (not the American vermouth we are used to), and a red Cavo at a bar that was soooo crowded, but a fun experience we would not have had without going on a locals tour. To us this was what these type of adventures were designed to provide! A Quick Snapshot on Nightlife in Barcelona

She offered: - a drinks making class - Never happened. - a visit to Picasso's favorite bar for absinthe - never happened. -visit to oldest bar in Barcelona - never happened. Instead £70 got me and my partner a trip to a rock bar for a bottle of Heineken, a trip to her friends bar where she met up with her friends and we were given a quick shot of something not explained, and then lied to about the Picasso absinthe bar, where we were told it was hours away and so instead taken to a bar for a shandy. All the while, she didn't include any historical information. More so information about herself and her experiences living in Barcelona since moving from Romania / Germany. Oh and she doesn't even drink so obviously knew next to nothing about alcoholic drinks, which the tour was for!Awful

We had a great night with Sebastian, it was like being with an old friend. He instantly put everyone at ease, there was never a lull in the conversation. Sebastian took us to 3 interesting places that definitely seemed to be places frequented by locals. He was full of information about every aspect of Barcelona and answered any questions we had. Thanks, Sebastian, for adding a truly personal experience to our Barcelona vacation.A Night With A Friend

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet with Sebastian! I had the opportunity to view Barcelona 'behind the scenes' as a local! Sebastian was very knowledgeable on the historical context of the places he showed me. I felt very comfortable and safe throughout my night time tour with him. I'm very glad I met Sebastian and learned a great deal. I would highly recommend him as a guide! Thank you! Great drinks & view of Barcelona!

Lusi is warm, energetic, fun and interesting. On a recent mother/daughter vacation, Lusi escorted us through Barcelona to experience a fun mix of drinks and hangouts in the local area. She also gave us some tips on navigating the city as tourists and we enjoyed learning about her and the city she loves. It didn't take long before it felt like 3 old friends enjoying a night out together. I will definitely look for Lusi on my next trip to Barcelona for some more fun adventures exploring the city and nearby areas!!Lusi is a wonderful host!

My wife and I only had a few days in Barcelona so we chose Karina to show us around! She was kind enough to meet us at Sagrada Famila and change up the original tour a bit so we could make the most of our time in Barcelona! Karina has a fun personality and was knowledgeable about the areas we visited. They say, timing was everything, as luck would have it, we just happened to walk into a neighborhood courtyard area where a celebration was taking place! We were front row to a drumline display as well as small fireworks show and a bonfire!! After that, we enjoyed some tapas and a few beers at a quaint restaurant, then Karina walked us all the way back to our hotel, showing us some Gaudi works along the way! Needless to say, We had a great time, learned a lot! Thank you to Karina, we had an unforgetable time! Don't hesitate to book a tour with her! She is awesome!Fantastic tour with Karina!

I initially booked a different date, needed to reschedule and Karina was able to accommodate us by meeting up the same day, no questions asked. Vibrant, flexible, and all smiles, yet totally in charge of our group of 7. I liked her immediately. Sometimes things work for you. Karina has a wonderful ability to let the night transpire, give a group room to breathe, to change direction, to show a Barcelona that will delight and surprise you. When you get home from vacation, as you sort your memories of Barcelona, and it takes a long time to return to reality, you will remember Karina went beyond the beyond. Then you will ask your friends and yourself, when are we going back???Beyond the beyond

Federico chose a wonderful and diverse menu based on our preferences. The evening ended with a visit to the Chocolate shop where we tasted terrific sweets dipped in chocolate. Federico provided us with a very informative tour and chose fun and interesting establishments to visit. He was knowledgeable and answered many of our questions about the history of the area.

My wife and I enjoyed an amazing food tour around Barcelona with Elvira, a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that combined local knowledge with our own requests. There really is no constructive feedback I could give, as the tour was perfect; my wife and I are still talking and reminiscing about it! Elvira is personable, knowledgable, and brings her own experiences and understandings. We learned a huge amount, ate even more! Thanks, and we will return with the family!Amazing and personalized food tour

Three hours of history, art, economy and daily life notions. Time just flew in a blink of eyes. Federico was a very thoughtful pleasant guide, leading us through the treasuries of the narrow alleys of Barcelona. It was not our first time in Barcelona, but this time we could discover some hidden spots never seen before! Thanks Federico! See you next time! A pleasant and interesting stroll

We did the 10 tastings of Barcelona with Elvira. As a family of four ( 2 adults and 2 kids (10 and 13), we had very different preferences for food. She adjusted quickly and made sure we had a great tour. As it was our first day in Barcelona, and we were very jet-lagged, we were not as hungry as we should have been for such a tour, so she quickly pivoted and included some walking and historic tour of the City. She was very knowledgeable. She was very generous with her time, and made sure everyone had a good time. I highly recommend!Super flexible and great with kids!
