Barcelona Walking Tours

48 tours · €3–€303 per person · ★ 4.9

A walking tour of Barcelona is still the cheapest way to get the city explained properly: the 48 tours here start at €3, which buys a 2.5 hour guided walk through the Old Town and Gothic Quarter in a group capped at 12. We picked each one by hand and kept only guides rated 4.5★ or higher by real travelers, across routes covering Plaça del Rei, Santa Maria del Mar, the Ramblas and the modernist facades of Passeig de Gràcia, with small groups of 10 to 16 people the norm rather than the exception.

Two honest notes before you book: walking tours here cover the monuments from the outside, entry tickets are separate, and the food-flavored walks with tastings live in our tapas section. Below, the best reviewed walking tours in Barcelona come first.
