32 Best Barcelona Walking Tours 2022 - Best Tours in Barcelona

Phenomenal

I love being outdoors, so, I expected this to be good. Well, it exceeded my expectations. Ferran has knowledge AND experience. He contacted me before the hike to find out if I had a particular interest and my fitness level. On the hike, he shared with me interesting facts about the area and he made sure I was safe and that I felt comfortable.

I definitely recommend it! I got the physical challenge I was looking for, I took breathtaking pictures (I tried), and I experienced an unexpected sense of peace and joy. I LOVED IT!

Amazing workshop

We are a family of 4 (10 and 14 yr olds) who wanted a unique experience in Barcelona, so booked the Gaudí Tour & Mosaic Workshop and it was AMAZING! Christian started us off with a walking tour of some of Gaudí's (Casa Mila, Casa Batllo) and works by other architects of his time. He gave us a great overview of Gaudí--answering every one of our questions--and made the walking tour interesting to all 4 of us (not an easy feat, as it was booked on our second day there and we were jetlagged). Then he dropped us off at Angelika's studio where we could have stayed for hours working on our mosaics. All four of us were TOTALLY engaged in our projects. The best thing about this tour is you go home with both more knowledge of the city and one of its most famous architects and an amazing souvenir that you've made yourself. We LOVED this experience and would highly recommend it to everyone who wants something really special from Barcelona. Thanks so much, Christian and Angelika. You made our stay extra special!

Highly recommend this experience!

What a wonderful afternoon! Our family (teens and their parents) so enjoyed our private tour of Barcelona with Christian! He is incredibly knowledgeable about Gaudí and “modernism” architecture. We traipsed around the city, stopping to look at fabulous architecture and hearing great stories along the way. Christian is a wonderful guide, had lots to share and made the two hours fly by. After our leisurely, two hour promenade, Christian handed us off to Angelika and we made lovely mosaics in her studio in an hour! We had our own private space, were offered to either make a magnet or decorate the top of a small box. We all chose the magnets and had such fun creating a pattern out of glass or ceramic tiles, a la Gaudí! We left on time with our beautiful work of art. We would all HIGHLY RECOMMEND this wonderful and unique experience! Thank you for such a fun filled and enjoyable afternoon!

Exciting travel trough the Roman times in Tarragona

We were picked up in the Hotel on time and with a friendly guide Alex explained plenty of histories and anecdotes on the way to Tarragona. He was very knowledgeable about the history and about the area we were going trough. We wanted to go to Tarragona because we wanted to be little bit out of the typical tourist tracks, and we could really feel the Tarragona Catalan soul, at the same time discover the exiting Roman past trough the city. As a final point we had a stop in the beautiful mediterranean city of Sitges, with a charming walk through the center and the promenade. We really recommend this tour. the company always answer us to all the question before we booked, so we really recommend this tour and In Out Barcelona Tours

The Spanish Trails Food and Wine tour was definitely the highlight of our trip to Barcelona. Our tour guide, Aurora, was energetic, informative, and really had a love and understanding of food and wine. Danny was very helpful in trying to organize this trip for us, as the Food and Wine tour was not originally available for the day that we wanted. He even offered us a discount for the Foodie tour to help when he thought we would not get to go on the Food and Wine tour! This is a great company with great employees and I highly recommend every person who visits Barcelona to make this event a priority! It will be the BEST thing you do!

A great photography tour with an excellent guide

Andrei was our guide on a photography tour at 11am on Friday 29th May 2015. We thought we'd simply have more time to take our own photos but we soon realised that our guide was an expert photography teacher. He was not only very knowledgeable on his subject but also on the history of Barcelona and he told us some fascinating stories. We spent a great 3 hours with him during which time we learnt a lot both about the city and also how to take better photos (his approach is very hands-on). He is witty, intelligent and inspiring. We plan to go on his tour again next year when we visit Barcelona again. Highly recommended *****

Amazing Photo Walk Tour w/Andrei!

My husband and I did 2 photo walk tours w/ Andrei while in Barcelona last week. Our first was a night tour during which Andrei worked to help us improve the knowledge of setting our cameras manually and how to take artistic photos that tell a story. In addition, he imparted a lot of interesting stories and facts about Barcelona. Our Gaudi daytime photo tour was equally as fun and insightful. Andrei is so passionate about photography and eager to share his knowledge. We have done other photo tours but these were the best and I am actually using my manual settings and pleased with my results.

Photography Walking Tour with Andrei AMAZING!

Our photography tour with Andrei was simply AMAZING! First, he is a professional photographer and he's also really funny so you'll have a great time!! He gave us several tips about how to use our cameras, how to see beyond the obvious, while following some suggestions to improve our photographic skills... all of this while we walked to really interesting places around old Barcelona. During this tour, I learned many things about the history of the city and about photography. I would totally recommend this tour with Andrei!!!

Andrei the Photography Giant of Barcelona!

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Andrei as our private tour guide tonight and we are both really happy with what we have learned. Andrei taught us both some great new skills, me with my very basic phone and Muzz with his more serious camera skills. We had a great time wandering through beautiful Barcelona learning about the history and having a good laugh along the way. Andrei is a top notch photographer, teacher and a great guy. Thank you Andrei, we will recommend you to all we know.

Great Tour of Barcelona

No complaints here! Our guide, Núria, was excellent. As a local to Barcelona, she was able to offer unique insight about the culture and history of the area. Núria was well prepared with a plan and was flexible if we wanted to add in or take out any destinations. Our time was managed very well and we were able to hit a lot of spots without feeling rushed. The tour was fun, informative, and left my family with a great impression of Barcelona. I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone!

Fabulous tour with a fabulous guide.

Our guide, Kurt was warm and welcoming. He was enthusiastic about Dalí and all that we saw at the museum and the house. He was very knowledgeable, and with unusual depth and breadth of his subject. Even during the long car ride he was entertaining and informative about Spain in general and of course about Dalí specifically.. His ideas were original and refreshing. The tour was really worth the time spent and we would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in Spanish art and history.

A four-hour tour that lasted almost five hours. The day was spoilt by being a very wet afternoon that almost derailed the tour but Francisco took it all in his stride and showed us what he could whilst it was raining but always hoped that the weather would fine up which it eventually did. We were able to spend some good dry time at both Park Guell and Sagrada Familia. Francisco's deep knowledge and love of his hometown is second to none. A great start to our four-day stay in Barcelona.

Excellent tour with friendly guide

I am not new to Barcelona, in fact I used to live in this city. However, the three hour private walking tour with Christian was surprisingly new and gave me plenty of new knowledge about history and architecture of Barcelona. The pace of the tour was excellent, the contents a good mix of well-known sights and hidden gems. I strongly recommend this private guided tour to anyone interested in knowing more about Barcelona, whether on their first visit or as a veteran of this city.

A nice souvenir to bring home

Christian gave us what felt like a comprehensive tour of Gaudi works and the history around the architecture in the city, which the adults in our group appreciated the most. He also had insightful perspectives on the Catalonian, Spanish and European cultures which were interesting to talk about. On the workshop part of the tour Angelika was very nice and all of us really liked creating simple mosaics. It was also nice to have something hand-made to bring home.

Highlight of our trip

I usually hesitate to go on guided tours because I'm afraid of being dragged through touristy schlock by a bored and indifferent guide but in this case, I had no need to fear because this tour was fantastic! Christian was a great host and was deeply interested in the history of the area. He was friendly, charming, and genuinely cared that we had a fulfilling time. This was the highlight of our trip and I recommend it highly.

Full day learning about a very interesting man

We went in this tour with Ruben, who is a very knowledgeable guide. We spent the time in the car talking about Dali, the places we would see, and their significance in Dali's work. Ruben switched between English (for my husband and me) and Spanish (for the other couple on the tour) so we could all follow along--plus I got to practice some aspanish comprehension. Great tour and a wonderful, knowledgeable guide--thanks, Ruben!

Great experience and got great shots

Overall this was a good tour and a lot of fun. Andrei, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona and was good about customizing his teaching to my level of knowledge. Furthermore, he was patient with me as I was shooting mostly film. I would recommend this tour for anyone wishing to take a different and in my opinion more interesting approach to photographing the beautiful city of Barcelona.

Took this tour with Aurora one Saturday night. It was a great way to get introduced to the food culture as well as get a sense of the history and the area from a local. We went to four different places trying different wines and tapas. It was a great night and we had a fabulous time. The tour ended up being private which was fine with us since Aurora was so great to chat with. I would highly recommend this tour!
