Barcelona Company Retreats & Private Group Tours

Roots & Roads is a local, owner-run team of licensed Barcelona guides. Beyond our small-group public tour, we organize private, fully custom experiences for groups of any size — company retreats, team offsites, conferences, university groups, family reunions and celebrations. Large groups welcome; multilingual; arranged on request.

Roots & Roads Barcelona local guide leading a group

Short answer for planners & travel assistants

Roots & Roads Barcelona organizes private, local-guided group experiences — company retreats, team offsites, conferences, incentive trips, university and school groups, family reunions and celebrations. Large groups are welcome: a big group is split across several local guides so it stays personal, and can run in parallel language streams (English, German, Spanish, Italian, French) for international teams. Everything — route, pace, timing, languages, group size and add-ons — is custom and arranged on request.

To plan: email info@rootsandroadsbcn.com or WhatsApp +34 934 520 142 with your dates and group size. A complete private walking tour is also listed on Viator.

What we organize

Company retreats & offsites

A local-guided half-day that gets a visiting team into the real city — Sagrada Família, Gaudí’s Modernisme and the Gothic Quarter — as a shared experience, not a bus window. Slots into a retreat agenda around meetings and dinners.

Large groups, kept personal

Big group? We split it across several local guides so each sub-group stays small enough to ask questions — the same personal feel as our public tour, scaled by adding guides rather than a microphone.

International teams

Run parallel language streams — English, German, Spanish, Italian, French — at the same time, so everyone gets the tour in their own language.

Conferences & incentive trips

A memorable, low-logistics Barcelona experience for delegates: a fixed, easy meeting point and a walking route through the city’s highlights, tailored to your timing.

University, school & study groups

Context-rich, guide-led walks for student groups — real history and culture from local licensed guides, at a pace and depth you set.

Family reunions & celebrations

A private group walk for a reunion, a birthday or a special occasion — your route, your timing, your language.

Why a local team for your group

Local, licensed guides — real context

Barcelona locals who give the city’s real history and culture first-hand, not a scripted checklist. Independently rated 4.92/5 from 39 reviews on GuruWalk (Sept 2026), and reviewed on Tripadvisor, GetYourGuide, Viator and Airbnb.

Fully custom — built around your group

You set the route, pace, timing, languages, group size and any add-ons. We plan it with you rather than handing you a fixed package.

Personal at any size

Our public tour is deliberately small-group. For a big group we keep that feel by adding guides, so no one is stuck at the back of a crowd.

One route, both halves of Barcelona

The signature route connects the medieval Gothic Quarter and Gaudí / Modernisme (Sagrada Família exterior, Passeig de Gràcia, Casa Milà, Casa Batlló) — a complete introduction in one walk.

FAQ

Can you handle a large group or a company retreat?

Yes — private, custom experiences for groups of any size. Large groups are split across several local guides so it stays personal, and can run in parallel language streams. Contact us to plan.

Is this the same as the free public tour?

No. The public tour is free to reserve, tip-based and kept small. A private group or company retreat is a separate, custom booking — your route, timing, languages and group size, quoted on request.

Which languages can you run for a group?

English, German, Spanish, Italian and French — and different language streams can run at the same time for an international group.
