Trip curated by Roman Karin
ExpertThe private tapas tour in Barcelona is where the culinary foundation of this circuit gets built: three neighborhoods in one evening, market bars and tiled taverns that don't appear on any standard map, and a version of the city two days of independent wandering rarely delivers. In Paris, enter the Louvre through the Richelieu wing rather than the pyramid; the medieval moat section and the Northern European collections at a fraction of their midday density while everyone else heads for the Italian paintings. The pizza-making class in Rome works best mid-afternoon: make it, eat it early, then walk the neighborhood while the daylight holds.

Your activity
Skip the Line Park
Join an English-speaking guided tour to discover two of Antoni Gaudí’s most iconic works: the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell.
Begin at Park Güell, located in a unique area with stunning views over the city. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, the park was originally conceived as a residential project before becoming a public space. Explore the monumental area with your guide and admire Gaudí’s mastery. See how he blended architecture and nature through his organic, naturalistic style.
At the appointed time, a transfer will take you to the Sagrada Familia. Enter this breathtaking monument and discover why it’s the ultimate must-see landmark in Barcelona. Learn about its history and symbolism with your local guide, and marvel at the interior—richly inspired by natural forms and spiritual meaning.
Rome
Day 7 - 10
Experience Rome, the bustling capital of Italy. This city, rich with exciting history and culture, offers an unparalled mix of ancient explorations and modern living. Immerse yourself in the past and explore the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Vatican. Wander through other must-see destinations like The Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon. Experiencing the culinary scene is a delight, from traditional pasta to world-renowned Italian gelati. You can explore daily markets such as Campo de' Fiori for local ingredients and fresh food. A stay in Rome promises great experiences all year round, but it is advisable to take seasonality into account. While spring (April–May) and fall (September–October) offer pleasant weather and less crowds, summer (June–August) has a lively, spirited atmosphere — but can also be hot. No matter when you go, visiting Rome promises an unforgettable journey through the centuries. The unique combination of a rich historical past mixed into a thriving and vibrant modern community makes Italy's Eternal City one of the world's most intriguing and inspiring tourist destinations.
