Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Palau Moja, Portaferrissa, 1 08002, 08002 Barcelona Spain

Start your tour at the famous Ramblas, the heart of the city centre.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Mercat de la Boqueria, La Rambla, 91, 08001 Barcelona Spain

Enjoy this walking tour of the Old Town and visit the famous Boqueria Market, considered one of the best markets in the world because of its modernist design and the richness of products it offers.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Las Ramblas, La Rambla, 08002 Barcelona Spain

Enjoy a walk along the must-visit Las Ramblas, probably the most famous avenue of the city, home to many bars, restaurants and shops.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Palau Guell, Carrer Nou de la Rambla 3-5, 08001 Barcelona Spain

At the beginning of the century, the high class of Barcelona wanted to live in the city centre. The most remarkable example of this desire is the Palau Guell, the house of the same Guell family that founded the construction of the Park Guell and the major patron of Gaudi’s work. Have a look at the facade of this private house, where a young Gaudi shows already all his talent to master the light and create beautiful shapes even with a very limited space.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Cat, Fernando Botero, Rambla del Raval, s/n Esta ubicado en unos jardines publicos, 08001 Barcelona Spain

Continue your walking tour to discover the Raval, the most multicultural and off the beaten path district of the Old Town, that attracts people from diverse social, cultural and geographical backgrounds. Visit the Rambla del Raval to take a picture with the enormous Cat Statue by Fernando Botero, probably the cutest statue you will ever see.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Telefèric de Montjuïc (Barcelona Cable Car), Avinguda Miramar, 30, Sants-Montjuïc, 08038 Barcelona, Spain

Take the Montjuic funicular and get ready for the best views of Barcelona from top. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the Montjuic Cable Car and wonderful views of Barcelona’s iconic skyline.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Montjuic Castle, Carretera de Montjuic, 66, 08038 Barcelona Spain

Reach the Montjuic Castle to enjoy a private visit allowed only to our small group. The Montjuic Castle has been a military fortress since its early beginning, witnessing the change of political power in the city. We invite you to an exclusive visit, not opened to general public, where you will be able to enter the dungeons of the several political prisoners that have marked the history of the city.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Parc de Montjuic, Avinguda del Castell, Barcelona Spain

Arise from the dungeons to the sky to admire a bird’s eye view of Barcelona and its surroundings. The best way to admire Barcelona in all its beauty is from high above the city. This is where Barcelona reveals itself in total splendour. With our exclusive visit, you will have access to the Tower of the Castle, where you can admire a 360ª views over Barcelona and, if the day is bright and clear, up to the Pyrenees.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: El Molino, Vila i Vila, 99 Av. Paral·lel, 08004 Barcelona Spain

Be prepared to be disappointed if you expect to see the fort-castle inside. The ride in the funicular and cable cars are ok and the tour cuts the wait. You walk around the outside and see nice views of the city and the port but I side is a disappointment bc there are only a few rooms open and they are set up as a museum and not the former use or exhibits. The guide, Montserrat, continually lectured about the history of the regional disputes in Spain, Catalunya versus others and provided her very strong personal view point over and over. Several people on the tour commented that she had strong political views that did not belong on this type of tour. It's nice to learnso.e history but not to continually review the Spanish disputes from the 16th and 17th century in detail. Also, the dungeons or prisons were closed for some time and not expected to reopen so Viator needs to update its description. I have been to several forts in many countries and this was the most disappointing.

The tour was advertised as an exclusive tour of Montjuic and the dungeons with a maximum of 12 people. Exclusive did not mean skip the line, we waited on line with a few hundred people Our group had 14 people in it. It almost was 15, one person went with the other group to stay with her friend. It is listed as a castle when it is actually a fortress. We never saw the dungeons. We were told they are not accessible. Edward was a very good guide. He managed to get us all through the metro, the funicular and cable cars efficiently (except for all of the people) He obviously loves the city and shows that passion. He was personable and seemed knowledgeable.

The Old Town history was very informative and interesting. The castle has amazing views and history. Our guide Miguel was very good. There is a lot of walking involved, as well as the cable car, subway and train to get around for this tour.

Absolutely fantastic tour delivered by our lovely guide, Montse. She really gave us a deeper understanding of the culture of Barcelona, something that is really difficult to capture by simply walking around the city. Our tour was to Montjuic Castle, an absolutely must-see location. The views over the city are simply amazing. Coupled with Montse's guidance, it was truly a great experience. Bring water and a good pair of walking shoes. 👍🏻
