Free Tours in Spain: the best local companies

Free Tours in Spain - Barcelona, Granada, Madrid, Malaga, San Sebastian and Sevilla

Gorka Regidor 8 Comments

Free Tours are a fantastic way to get an introduction to a city. The guides are friendly, knowledgeable and fun and they go out of their way to help visitors with recommendations to make their stay a memorable one. Nowadays you can find them all over the world so, as you can imagine, Free Tours in Spain are also very popular. In the big cities, there are quite a few on offer but…Β how do I choose the best one?

Most companies have great reviews on sites like TripAdvisor, the tours are running at similar times, the duration is also between 2 and 3 hours… But there is one big difference that a lot of people seem to miss. A lot of these Free Tours are organised by companies that offer their tours in different cities and disguise themselves under the umbrella of “local guides”. But only when you choose a local company will you:

  1. Get the local flavour that only a homegrown business that lives and breathes that city can give you
  2. Be sure that your money will end up supporting the local economy and the local residents instead of ending going out of the city or country

So how do I know that the company I choose is a real local one? Just answer one simple question: Do they offer tours in other places? If the answer is yes, this is not a real homegrown business and the profits will end up somewhere else and not in the community you are visiting.

We have prepared a list of the best Free Tours in Spain where you can be sure that you get that local feel, as well as the knowledge, the fun and the friendliness while supporting a more responsible type of tourism. These are all good friends of ours, we have been on their tours and they all offer fantastic experiences so you can be sure you are in good hands.

Let me introduce you to Barcelona (us) but also to Granada, Madrid, MΓ‘laga and San Sebastian as they can explain about their Free Tours in SpainΒ better than anyone else.

Barcelona Free Tours (Runner Bean Tours)

Barcelona is a city where everyone wants to go to. We have the sea, the hills, the food, the history, the culture… This Free Tours project started in 2010 making it the first one of its kind in the city. Even after so many years, we still enjoy showing visitors the marvels of our city. You can find free tours, scheduled fixed-price tours and private tours but this post is about the free tours so take a look at the 2 we offer in Barcelona.

Free Tour Barcelona Spain

Gothic Quarter Free Walking Tour

Some people get quite surprised when they discover that Barcelona is a city with over 2,000 years of history. From its Roman origins to modern times, passing through its medieval splendour, this is a place that has seen a lot of action.

On our Barcelona Free Tour of the Gothic Quarter, we will unveil the secrets of the stones in the narrow streets, secluded squares and medieval churches of the area but we also learn about the legends of Barcelona and traditions of the Catalan people. This is a must for a lovely introduction to the city!

BOOK GOTHIC QUARTER FREE TOUR

GaudΓ­ Free Tour

If there is one name that is linked to Barcelona, that has to be Antoni GaudΓ­. Not only did he revolutionise the architecture of the 20th century but his buildings are just a delight on the eye.

On our GaudΓ­ Free Tour, we use a combination of walking and metro to cover the long distances in between the buildings. Not only do we enjoy these wonderful creations but we also learn about the man behind them. His life and death, his patrons and friends, his unusual approach… There is room for everything in this walk to try to understand the mind that came up with masterpieces like La Pedrera or Sagrada Familia.

Since then, our small family business has grown to become one of the top-rated tour companies in Madrid. However, being a family business makes us different from other large companies.

Go Local was born in 2012 with the intention of showing tourists that our city is not a postcard but quite the opposite. This is a dynamic and lively city that deserves to be walked. Go Local believes that everyone has the chance to be a local in Donostia. This is our signature and that is why we are well known for our small group Free Walking Tours.

Lisa was spectacular. She was very knowledgeable, kind and she went at a great pace. She gave us so much information that helped us understand the history of Catalonia but she went further to help us connect to the... culture of Catalonia today. Lisa took the time to answer questions and gave us great tips to make the most of our trip. She also has great recommendations for restaurants, places to see and how to get around. The tour was great and Lisa was really terrific.read more

We took a 2 1/2 hour walking tour of the Gothic quarter with Anne-Marie from Runner Bean tours. She was incredibly knowledgeable and obviously passionate about both the city where she lives and the history! Full of... information and details about every site we visited and we heard so much that’s not included in any other trip. Very interactive with the group and put every single person at ease. She was an absolute mine of local information and recommendations at the end - which we personally used for meals and other sites to visit. These guys work on a donation system and be prepared to give them every euro that you feel they are worth. We took two of their tours and they were the highlight of our trip to Barcelona!!read more

I showed up on an earlier day for my city tour and Lisa was nice enough to let me join anyway. Her presentation was both enlightening and fun. She had personal stories and on the spot observations to share which made it... feel fresh. Her diction was very easy to understand and she was pleasant to listen to. Believe me I have been on some tours where the guides had annoying pet phrases like 'alright?' 'um' etc.. that can be tiresome to listen to for 2.5 hours. Lisa took personal interest in her guests and made the effort to talk to us individually whenever possible. Her food suggestions were great. I highly recommend going on her tour!read more

I booked the group tour for the Gothic quarter but obviously due to the current circumstances I was the only one on the tour. Hence, my fantastic tour guide Lisa gave me a private tour and it was super interesting. I... really learned a lot and it's a great way of discovering Barcelona. Highly recommended for anyone who comes to BCN! It's so important to also learn about the history and culture. A fantastic tour. Greetings to Lisa.read more

We had a very short time in Barcelona so to make the most of the time we had, we decided to do a walking tour. I'm so glad we chose Runner Bean Tours. We did the Antoni GaudΓ­ tour with Lisa and thoroughly enjoyed it.... Even our children were engaged throughout thanks to Lisa's gift for storytelling and bringing you on a journey with her tour. Given the current climate in Spain with few foreign tourists visiting, we were in a unique position to enjoy an almost private tour in a very quiet city...an experience we will probably never have the opportunity to have ever again. We enjoyed the GaudΓ­ tour so much that we booked the Gothic tour the very next day and were lucky enough to have Lisa as a guide once more. Again, a wonderful tour delivered in an engaging and really entertaining way. Lisa's knowledge of the history of Barcelona shines through and her passion for this wonderful city is absolutely contagious. Highly recommended for the whole family ♥️👌read more

We had an awesome time on the Barcelona gothic quarter tour with Miguel! Miguel was an amazing guide. He was full of interesting information, and his passion and love for the city and his job made the tour extra... enjoyable. He also gave us lots of recommendations for places to eat and drink in the city, and even helped us mark them on google maps. He also took some great pictures for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend runner bean tours. Thank you Miguel for giving us such an insightful experience!read more

We have done a lot of walking tours all over the world and this was by far our favourite. Miguel was very knowledgeable and funny and made this an enjoyable experience. It is clear that Miguel loves what he does and... made sure that we had fun too. There were only 2 others on the tour with us and he made sure we were safe and distanced and everyone wore their masks to make sure we all felt safe and comfortable. I 100% recommend doing this tour - especially if with Miguel if possible! Gracias for a lovely few hours in Barca!! :)read more

      The Free Tour companies recommended in the post are all independent local groups so each one has a different policy. However, they are all committed to a more responsible type of tourism so groups are never too large as numbers are limited. For more information, you can contact each company individually:
      – Barcelona
      – Granada
      – Madrid
      – Malaga
      – San Sebastian

    I am thinking of going for a 7 day trip to spain hoping to see Madrid, Barcelona,Granada and Seville. I saw your add and thought you might be helpful to me in seeing the things of importance to me. I assume nothing in life is “free”. What type gratuity is normally expected for a tour?Besides tours do you offer suggestions on places to stay, etc.
    Thanks

    • Gorka Regidor says

      June 20, 2019 at 5:17 pm

      To be honest, I think that 7 days is a very short time to visit all four places. I would focus in only a couple of them to make the most of your trip.
      The gratuities are entirely up to you and your enjoyment of the tour and guide.
      These companies are specialised on tours. If you need some advice on places to stay on each city I recommend you visiting some of the travel forums where other travelers can give you advice based on their experiences.

    Hi Gorka…

    I am a mountain guide with my own brand…do you thing there is a chance for those we offer hiking tours in Natural Parks to be sustainable offering free tours?
    (I am considering the idea of doing free tours instead of tours with fixed prices)
    This is my web in case you want to check it

      Hi Alfonso. You have to take into account all your expenses to see if it will be sustainable to offer your tours as a free tour model (guides, transport, insurance, marketing, etc). I guess that you know your business better than anyone else and you can make a better-informed decision.

      Your tours and locations look great, by the way. I love hiking so I am looking forward to being able to travel again and head to the mountains. Maybe in Malaga? πŸ™‚

      Best of luck with your project.

Runner Bean Tours is part of the Biosphere Barcelona standard for Commitment to Sustainable Tourism. This is awarded to a few tour operators who are committed to responsible and environmentally-friendly management, culture, decent working conditions, gender equity and social and economic benefits.

On our tours, we are always sure we respect the local neighbourhoods and we only collaborate with small Barcelona businesses which help support the local economy.
