Who is behind ICONO Barcelona Cultural Services?
Blanca Espa, our director, started touring the upper part of the city 25 years ago. In a short time he realized the interest that Barcelona aroused in world travelers and it was when he set up the then modest company of ICONO Barcelona Cultural Services.
Today, well into the 21st century, we are no longer a small company because we have known how to differentiate ourselves by offering truly special tours. Our guides are really knowledgeable about the route and the part of the history that you choose to discover.
We put all our heart in everything we do; it’s something you can see and our clients really appreciate.

What does it mean PRIVATE tour?
Qué tendrás el guía en tu idioma a tu completa disposición. Te recogeremos donde quieras (en tu hotel, en el aeropuerto, en algún punto de la ciudad…) y finalizaremos también donde nos digas. Comodidad, privacidad y seguridad de que todo está previsto: es lo que te llevas con nuestros tours privados en Barcelona. Si lo prefieres, también ofrecemos tours guiados regulares
In which languages are the private tours available?
All our tours are available in English, Spanish, Catalan, French and Italian. For a small supplement, they are also available in German, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Arabic and Japanese. For other languages please check with us at info@iconoserveis.com
What does it mean that the guides are specialised in what they teach?
Our guides don’t do all the tours; each of them does their own. For example, the Jewish Quarter tour is done by a guide who speaks fluent English and Hebrew and is an expert in Jewish culture and history.
What happens if I book any of the Icono Serveis tours on other platforms?
You miss every opportunity to customize your private tour. It’s very likely that you will find the same tour at a higher price and we cannot assure you that the cancellation is free; it will depend on what the other platform offers you. If you make the reservation on this website you will be able to personalize the tour, you make sure to pay the minimum and if you cancel the tour, you don’t lose your money.
