Escape the airport; see the city

A stress-free way to explore

We understand wanting to hang around the airport and wait for your next flight – after all, getting out and exploring an unfamiliar city can be a stressful experience, especially when you have a strict time constraint.

Latest reviews from our guests

Federico was our tour guide and he was amazing. The perfect way to start our trip in Barcelona. He showed us all over the city and provided the history behind each place. We loved the personalized itinerary and experience. Would definitely book this tour again. If you do book this tour you must have Federico as your guide. Thank you for making our trip memorable.

My family and I had a great time on this tour with Jonathan. We have done many different city walking tours and this one was more like ‘walking around with a local friend’ than a specific scheduled tour. Johnathan shared a lot of information of different architecture, restaurants, and back alley ways that we would have likely not ventured down on our own (not due to safety, but because we would have likely never found them!). Thanks a lot for the great tour and for making our time in Barcelona a memorable one.
