Free walking tours in Barcelona Travel Company Discover Walks brings its concept to Spain’s most visited city

March 22, 2012.

Starting Friday, March 23, visitors to Barcelona can join natives of Barcelona on free walking tours of the Catalan capital every day. For the first time, visitors can now enjoy tours conducted exclusively by natives of Barcelona. They show not only the landmarks, but also the stories behind them and the places only locals know and they share an insider’s perspective on the city.

“Barcelona is an exciting and fun place to explore – but you have to know your way around” says Alexandre Gourevitch, co-founder of Discover Walks. “It’s twice the fun and excitement when you are walking with a native and getting insights into Catalan culture”.

These Discover Walks tours are also free of charge – guests pay what they want at the end of the tour, leaving the visitors in control of how they value the tour. These tours are conducted in English, they are available without reservation and they are capped to around 20 people – above that, a second guide also joins.
 
 
Visitors can take three tours: Gaudi Tour at 10am, Ramblas and Barri Gotic at 1pm, and Picasso’s Barcelona/La Ribera at 5pm.

Operating these tours is travel company Discover Walks, which already operates similar free tours in Paris and San Francisco. More information is available here.
