Barcelona's Transformation
The incredible transformation of Barcelona took place in the lead up to 1992 Olympic Games, and while the stories of the Games themselves often take center stage, it is the city that won. Barcelona and the 1992 Olympic Games have become the modern day model for the way to shape a city after hosting such an event, known as the 'Barcelona Model'. We will visit the two most important sites fo the Barcelona Games starting with Montjüic Hill where the Olympic Stadium and other event sites saw some of the most impressive stories and images during the Games, before visiting the Olympic Museum and seeing past attempts the city has made to host them. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to take the Port Cable Car down to the beach where you will get unparalleled views of the city finishing along the Barceloneta neighborhood where I can recommend to amazing restaurants.

Discover Montjüic unlike in any other tour and find out its role in the 1992 Olympic Games. The main Olympic Park and site of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

Reviews
Really enjoyed this tour with Patrick!
From the start, Patrick was on top of it, with customer service. He connected early and again later to confirm booking. We needed to make a change, and he was communicative and accommodating, so we could still get the tour in.
This tour is a bit different from the other more standard Barcelona tours, which gives variety during your stay. For something a little different, and in a different area, and if you have an interest in the Olympics, I would highly recommend.
The tour shows you the sights in the area, the venues and the museum, a lot of which I wouldn’t even have known were there!
The views are outstanding! It is a walking tour and there are some stairs, so keep in mind if walking is difficult for you.
And Patrick takes good photos, if you want group photos!
Patrick is personable, knowledgeable and entertaining!
We greatly enjoyed this tour and can highly recommend it

This is a really interesting tour of the Olympic Park and offers a great insight into modern Barcelona. The views from Montjuic, especially coming down in the cable car, are amazing. Patrick is a brilliant tour guide - he really knows his stuff, not just on the games but also plenty on what to see and do in the city. Really recommend taking the tour.
