About |
Alternative tours through the old town of Barcelona led by homeless or formerly homeless guides.
Hidden City Tours is a ground breaking Barcelona based social enterprise offering walking tours of the gothic quarter.... with a difference, we exclusively employ and train up guides who are homeless. Think about it for a second, it makes sense, right? Who best to show you around the streets of Barcelona than someone who has lived on those very streets. Our guides have incredible knowledge of the city and can't wait to show you around, taking you to the touristy and not so touristy areas to show you the hidden secrets and stories Barcelona is bursting to share with you. So if you're tired of mass tourism and conventional tours, and you're looking for something different.. you've come to the right place.
Unique guided tours through the old town of Barcelona led by homeless guides. We're a social enterprise, not a charity... so basically the more success we have the more jobs we can create. It really is that simple. The essence of the tours is small groups so as soon as we start getting big, we'll simply split the group in 2 and employ another formerly homeless guide on his or her way to a better life.
By joining a Hidden City Tour, you will not only help raise the profile of Barcelona´s social problems, breaking and changing attitudes as you go along your way but also actually help a homeless person back onto their feet and on their way to a life we call normal.
