Guided walking tour · Plaça de Catalunya 20
This walk starts in the Gothic Quarter's lanes and squares, crosses the Ramblas and ends among Gaudí's facades on Passeig de Gràcia, with a local guide. It is a great first-day tour: two thousand years of Barcelona in one walk, finishing where the Modernista city begins.
Barcelona has two old towns in one: the medieval maze around the cathedral, and the 19th-century Eixample, where the money of the Modernista years went into facades. This walk joins them. You start in the Gothic Quarter, with its squares, medieval buildings and narrow streets, and finish on Passeig de Gràcia, where guests mention Casa Milà and Casa Batlló.
You meet at Plaça de Catalunya 20, outside Foot Locker. The listing gives 2 hours 30 minutes and a choice of a small group of up to 10 or a standard group of up to 20. The tour runs rain or shine, and part of it uses public transport: bring a valid ticket or buy one from the guide for €2. Headsets can be rented on site for €1. The tour finishes on Passeig de Gràcia, about 30 minutes from the Sagrada Família.
It is an outside tour, with the Gaudí houses seen from the street. The listing has 4.9 stars from 342 reviews, and guests name guides Evan, Anna and Loic. Casa Vicens is a short metro ride north of the finish, on L3. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Meet your guide outside Foot Locker. Rent a headset for €1 if you want one.

★★★★★Excellent tour of Gothic Barcelona and Casa Milà and Casa Batlló. Loic is a very knowledgeable, interesting and friendly guide. Definitely worth doing. Thank you.

★★★★★Anna C was great! Very knowledgeable and engaging. Beyond the subject of the tour she had many tips for further sights to enjoy. We loved our tour with her.
★★★★★We explored the Old City, the New City, and saw so many beautiful Gaudí landmarks. Everything was really well organised and enjoyable.
