Barcelona tours for corporations!

Barcelona is a very busy bussiness city. Many international corporations have headquarters and offices here, and often our city is chosen for corporation meetings and trainings.
But when bussinessmen and corporation employees travel for this kind of events and have to spend many hours with their colleagues, not everything is work! Often their programs include dinners and, why not?, short tours to give them the opportunities to discover the city and have a break from such intense work hours.

So when a corporation contacts me, I know they will be having special needs. They don't usually have 4h to spend touring (and most of the members of the group wouldn't have the energy to last that long after their meetings and before dinner!), so I have to offer them shorter itineraries that maximize their available time taking into account starting and ending points, opening hours and sunlight, as well as the group's interests.

My explanations also must be lighter and fun when possible, although of course they still have to be informative. It is important to tune into the group's mood as quickly as possible, so they enjoy themselves during our short time together.

This week I had two corporation tours. The first one was for Recticel Iberica. They arranged a very entertaining tour starting with a visit of the Casa Batlló (inside), then a walk down Passeig de Gràcia to the Old Town where we had some pintxos (traditional basque tapas) and drinks, and we continued walking around the Gothic Quarter and the Born section until I dropped them at a great restaurant in the Old Port.

Then yesterday I had some employees on a trainning for Procter & Gamble. We started in the Sagrada Familia church (outside), then we drove along Passeig de Gràcia seeing Casa Milà/Pedrera and Casa Batlló from the bus, and we finished with a nice stroll around the Gothic Quarter and the Born section, before we got to their restaurant near Plaça Urquinaona.

So if you are from a corporation and are looking for something entertaining to do with your colleagues coming to Barcelona for business, please contact me and check out my website to get some ideas on what could we include in your tour!

By the way, I can also organize private tours for your clients if you wish to treat them!
