Barcelona is a beloved destination for Israeli tourists who visit again and again for shopping, football, good food, and also to tour, hang out, and experience.

Guided Segway Tour
On a 2-4 hour guided Segway tour you will reach many places in the city, from narrow alleys in the heart of the old town, through sea beaches to beautiful parks immersed in lush vegetation, statues, and fountains.
During the trip, you will see hidden corners that you haven't noticed until now and you will learn a lot in an experiential and entertaining way about Barcelona. It is recommended to combine the tour on one of the first days of the trip because during it you will receive many ideas for trips and attractions in the city, which you can return to in the following days.
Guided Bike Tour
For bicycle tour enthusiasts and anyone who wants to stretch their legs a bit and see the city on a bike ride, I recommend several fun tours in the city. You can go on a tour with regular or electric bikes (including going up to "Montjuïc"), group or private. There are also tours that combine tapas tastings.

Tours for Food Lovers
Selection of food tours in Barcelona to book from Viator:
Food tours by Food Lover Tour . The company has a selection of delicious and fascinating food tours with excellent guides. Especially recommended: sweet lover's tour, gourmet tour, and market food tour (and you don't visit the touristy and commercial market on the Ramblas at all). It is recommended to come hungry.
On the sweet lover's tour for example you will taste the chocolate cake that won the prestigious title: "The Best in the World" and an award-winning and praised croissant, this in addition to a variety of cakes, cookies, sweet drinks, and other surprises (including a chocolate-flavored sausage). Between tasting and tasting you will wander through alleys and streets, enter shops that have been producing sweets for many generations or delicatessens specializing in nuts and seeds and learn a lot about the city, its history, and its culture.
Not everything revolves around food shops. In between, you will peek at cool and unique shops, such as a shop selling only rubber ducks or a shop selling statues of famous personalities and figures (from football players to movie stars) doing their business...
You will also tour archaeological sites you didn't know existed, hidden in the heart of the city, between the tastings...
Authentic Tapas Tour
Another recommended tour is a tapas tour where you will stop at several stations to eat tapas in the more authentic and less touristy areas of the city of Barcelona. Below is a demonstration video of the dishes on one of the tours:

Cultural Tours: Flamenco Show, Architecture and Famous Church:
Spain is known for its flamenco dance shows and it is possible and recommended to see one of these shows in the evening.
Barcelona has several famous buildings designed by the artist Guell. You can see them from the outside but there are also impressive guided tours inside them. Another impressive must-see site in the city is the huge and famous church of Barcelona.
