Good to Know:
• The tour is free, but your passionate and knowledgeable guide will work very hard to help you feel that the tour was worth something. Please feel free to show your appreciation for their work by giving a tip.
• The tour covers about 3 km (1.7 miles) and has about 20 stops, mostly in squares. There is actually a lot more talking than walking involved.
• This is not a scripted tour. Your guide tries to make each tour unique so that no tour is the same. Each tour will vary, within some set boundaries, depending on the weather, the day of the week, the time of the year, and most of all depending on your guide.
• All guides are long time residents of Barcelona. Their backgrounds and nationalities are all different but they share the same love and passion for the city, the region, and its people; you will notice this on your tour.
