Tour Details
See the best of Barcelona on a morning adventure with your experienced, English-speaking tour guide. This Barcelona sightseeing tour is perfect for first-time tourists who want to see the highlights of Barcelona with a knowledgeable local.
Your day starts with a bus tour of Passeig de Gracia. You will see Antoni Gaudi's Casa Mila and Casa Battlo, which were named UNESCO World Heritage buildings. Considered one of the most influential architects of his generation, Gaudi led the Modernist movement to design structures that combined architecture, nature, and religion and was able to create something completely unique.
From there, an air-conditioned coach will take you up the coast of Barcelona for scenic views of the Mediterranean Sea on your way to Mont Juic Mountain. The expansive views of the city and sea from Mont Juic are breathtaking as you explore the area.
Finally, you will leave Mont Juic and head back to the city center, where you will be given a guided walking tour of the area. Here you will see many of the most popular buildings in the Gothic quarter, including the Gothic Cathedral. You can see the art, architecture, history, and beautiful views of Barcelona on this informative and fun guided tour of the city and still have the afternoon to explore on your own.
Please Note: Your tour departs from and returns to the Placa de Catalunya area. The placa is the city center and the place where the old city (Gothic Quarter and Raval) and the 19th century-built Eixample meet. Some of the city's most important streets and avenues meet in Placa de Catalunya: Passeig de Gracia, La Rambla, Portal de l'Angel and Ronda Universitat. This tour may operate as a bilingual tour with English and Spanish narration.
From the end of January to the beginning of March (dates may vary), the cable car is under maintenance. The tour concludes about 10 minutes walking distance from where it begins.
