Barcelona
You want to have an unforgettable time in the city, but the museums just aren’t enough? That’s a bit hard to believe, but all right: How about a walking tour of Barcelona?
I work with two providers, Tiqets and GetYourGuide. They have a variety of walking tours available.
Tiqets
This platform is best known for its ticket deals. With this provider, you can purchase tickets ahead of time online and skip the waiting lines at the museums. Tiqets also offers walking tours of the city, bicycle tours, or other kinds of outings.
GetYourGuide
This platform specializes in all sorts of guided tours. And of course, Barcelona is on their list, too. Apart from guided bicycle tours, you can also take a walking tour of Barcelona
1. Tour of the Sagrada Família

from EUR 59 for people over the age of 16

The tour:
Experience the top attraction in Barcelona – the Sagrada Família. With more than two million visitors a year, the Sagrada Família is the most famous of Antonio Gaudí’s buildings. This tour is very informative and one of the most-booked guided tours at Barcelona-Museum!
The guide will start off in front of the church and tell you about the cathedral’s inception and construction in general as well as about Gaudí himself. Then you enter the Sagrada Família through the group entrance, which is faster than entering through the regular one. The guide will then switch to a headset – this will let you enjoy the inside a bit better, and it also makes the entire tour much more relaxed. Afterwards, you can stay inside until the Church closes, if you like. Visit the museum in the basement, or climb the towers for an amazing view of Barcelona.

I went on this tour with friends and we loved it. You don’t have to worry about a thing, as the bus takes you there and back. At the wineries, you’re greeted by the owners and their staff. At the first winery, you drive through the vineyards in a Jeep, and at the second, you walk several meters underground through the cellars where thousands of bottles of Cava are stored.
After each tour, you naturally sample the wines and Cavas… 😀
