Important information
How much walking is there?
We cover about 1.5 miles at a leisurely pace. If mobility is an issue, please arrange for a private tour.
Is food or drink included?
We’ll have at least one tasting in La Boquería market, but you'll also have some time to purchase food items at markets along the way if you wish. Your guide can provide recommendations for local flavors and how to get the best value.
What is the refund policy?
We get it — plans change. We offer a 100% refund up to 24 hours prior to the tour start time. We also offer rescheduling to another date the tour is running at no extra cost. Please keep in mind there are no refunds if you’ve already rescheduled your tour once.
When should I get there?
Plan to show up 15 minutes early. The tour starts promptly, and you may not be able to catch up if you arrive late.
What if it rains?
Our tours run rain or shine. If there’s extreme weather and we have to cancel, you’ll get a full refund.
Are gratuities included?
Tips are always appreciated but never expected. They’re a great way to tell your guide they did an awesome job and show your appreciation.
Highlights
More information
Begin at the Boqueria Market, one of the top food markets in the world. As your guide leads you through the patterned walkways, you’ll learn about Catalan food traditions and even enjoy a tasting of nougat and olives.
Next, explore the scenic Ramblas promenade. Soak up the energy of this former market and snap a few photos of open-air cafes, flower stalls, and the unusual Miró mosaic.
In the Gothic Quarter, discover the Santa Caterina Market, the city's first covered market, with an undulating, colorful roof and ruins of a medieval monastery.
We’ll also stop by a caganer shop to hear the story of one of Catalonia’s strangest traditions. Then visit the church of Santa Maria del Mar and finally El Born Market, a striking building now housing the remains of the Born neighborhood.
