BARCELONA PRIVATE TOURS

REPUTABLE LOCAL COMPANY

As a small family-run company we have been helping visitors discover Barcelona since 2010 so you can be sure that you are in safe hands with us.

Our Award-winning private tours in Barcelona have been personally recommended by Rick Steves, Frommer’s, Lonely Planet or Rough Guides and have received 21 TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence. We have even made a few appearances in international Travel programmes :-).

We are also a Spanish registered business contributing to the local economy, something that we think is very important in order to offer a more responsible kind of tourism. All taxes are always included in the final prices.

FRIENDLY PROFESSIONAL PRIVATE TOUR GUIDES

The tour guides are the backbone of Runner Bean Tours and we personally hand-pick all of them to be sure that you have some of the best private guides in Barcelona.

They are praised for being knowledgeable, fun, engaging and, overall, great people to hang out with for a few hours. Our customers keep on praising them on travel sites like Google, TripAdvisor, Get Your Guide and Yelp.

All our guides are registered tour guides in Spain which guarantees a committed professional. Meet them all in the Barcelona tour guides section.

 

SKIP-THE-LINE GUARANTEED

Your time is precious to us. The last thing we want is for you to be waiting in a long queue (we have all been there). So let’s make the most of your stay in the city.

On all our Barcelona private tours where we visit the interior of the buildings or museums, we always include a skip-the-line service so you can enjoy the city to its fullest.

 

A PRIVATE TOUR GUIDE ALL FOR YOURSELF

When you book a private tour you get your own personal tour guide in Barcelona, paced to your needs and interests. We walk slow for slow walkers or fast for the brisk at heart. We love including the children if you are a family, and grandma and grandpa too 🙂

Our lovely guests are very varied: from couples to a group of friends, from students to corporate organizations, from families to individual travellers. You are all very welcome on our Barcelona private tours!

SPECIAL AND PERSONAL SERVICE

Your private tour guide is your friend during the tour so you are free to ask him/her questions in order to help plan the rest of your stay. Where to eat, streets to shop, things to see, areas to avoid… We are more than happy to help you :-).

For any research before your trip, we have put a lot of time and effort into our blog to give you the best tips for your vacation. Find out our personal restaurant recommendations, tips for first travellers, customs and traditions, festivals timetable or activities with children. It is all there and a lot more.

 

 

SUPPORTING RESPONSIBLE TOURISM

The local businesses and local neighbourhoods is what make Barcelona so special. In order to maintain this, we only collaborate with small, local businesses within the community. Be it a restaurant, shop or fellow tour company, we feel it is important to generate the income within the community.

FLEXIBLE CANCELLATION POLICY

We understand that travel plans might change for different circumstances and that is why we offer a very flexible cancellation policy for all our Barcelona private tours. They are fully refundable if cancelled more than 72 hours in advance. For the attraction tickets, we depend on their cancellation policy so please check our full terms & conditions.

PRIVATE TOURS IN OTHER PARTS OF SPAIN

The philosophy of Runner Bean Tours is to offer services locally, only in the place where we operate. In our case, it is Barcelona and its surroundings. But if you are travelling to other parts of Spain, we have good news for you. We are a member of a network of local companies offering great quality private tours. They are great friends of ours and share the same values so you can be sure you are in good hands.
