Travel experiences born of a love for Catalonia and Spain

At Barcelona Inside and Out we create holidays and tours around unique, local experiences and places that let you discover the authentic Spain that is so often unseen or overlooked.

Our love of Spain and its culture has been nurtured over fifteen years living in and exploring the country. It's our passion for introducing visiting friends and family to new places and experiences that led to a desire to share all this with other like minded visitors.

Invaluable local contacts and knowledge

Through our many essential local contacts, we ensure that you discover the hidden secrets of Catalonia and Spain and have the opportunity to experience local culture and traditions that make the country so unique.

We suffer from a healthy case of itchy feet and are constantly exploring new ideas, places, and experiences that will enhance our holidays and tours. Putting our well-honed local knowledge into good use, we create unique travel experiences for those in search of surprises and the authentic Spain.

Tailor-made itineraries

No matter how specific or vague your holiday plans are, we work with you to create an itinerary that includes all the elements you are looking for with just the right balance of activities and time for you to relax and unwind.

When you book a holiday or tour with us you get a focused personal service that takes all the stress out of the planning and booking. More importantly, when you get here, you have nothing to worry about and everything is ready and waiting for you.

Authentic luxury

We believe in luxury travel in the truest sense of the word. The best food is not always to be found at the most expensive restaurants, and the most valuable travel experiences are not always the ones that you pay the most for. Our boutique hotels, excellent local restaurants and unique local experiences are all ways of experiencing this region that surpass solely their monetary value.

Sustainability

We believe travel should benefit both the visitor and the visited with no negative impact on the local community.
By working with private groups of reduced size and by designing our holidays and tours with the help of invaluable local collaborators, producers, and craftspeople we aim to ensure that together we only leave a positive footprint.

Hidden gems uncovered

Barcelona Inside and Out organised an incredible food tour of the city for a group of our chefs. Anthony’s detailed knowledge of the restaurant and food scene enabled us to visit a number of hidden gems that we would never have been able to find on our own.

An excellent and knowledgeable guide

We can’t recommend Barcelona Inside and Out highly enough. They organised a tailor made itinerary for us with an excellent guide, Sonia who spoke very good English and was extremely knowledgeable.

Spectacularly beautiful places

Anthony helped us to find and visit spectacularly beautiful places that we would have never discovered in Barcelona and on the Costa Brava. It felt like a family friend was showing us the sights.

A wonderful trip for our family of four

Anthony planned a wonderful trip for our family of four (kids aged 8 and 11). The hotels were fantastic and perfectly located, the restaurants he recommended were so good and at places we would have never found on our own, and the activities were so great (horse back riding, biking through vineyards, sunset hikes, and wine tasting in vineyards).

Our unique insight, knowledge and experience in organising custom tours is what sets us apart.
