Meeting Point
Plaça Reial (by the water fountain)
How to find the guide
Our friendly guides will be waiting by the fountain in the middle of the square holding a big green umbrella and wearing a bright green vest and a name tag.
How to get to the meeting point
Nearest metro stop: Liceu (L3). Take the exit named “Sortida: Liceu” and walk down La Rambla towards the sea (the main Opera House will be on your right). After 2 minutes you will see a Kentucky Fried Chicken on your left. Take the next left into the square (Plaça Reial).
Other Free Tours in Barcelona start at the same meeting point. If you want the quality of a Runner Bean tour be sure it is a Runner Bean guide.
Tour Highlights
PLAÇA REIAL
It has been a traditional meeting place in Barcelona since it was built in the XIX century. But this is not the only reason why our tour starts here. A young Gaudí has left some illuminating work in the square. It’s also the meeting point for our Gothic Quarter Free Walking Tour.
PALAU GÜELL
The first project for Gaudí’s patron and his first masterpiece. Situated in the midst of the old city, Palau Güell shines out amongst the surrounding buildings. Find out about Gaudí’s beginnings as an architect and his unusual approach to the design of the house.
BLOCK OF DISCORD
Three architects compete for the most striking building in the block. Known as La Manzana de la Discordia (Block of Discord) by local Barcelonans, we let you decide which one is your favorite of these architectural masterpieces.
CASA BATLLÓ
It has been called “a fairytale in stone” and “the house of yawns”. Today, nobody doubts that Casa Batlló is the architect’s most magical building. From knights in shining armour to traditional festivals, all is included in Gaudí’s imagination.
EIXAMPLE ARCHITECTURE
Designed by Idelfons Cerdà in the middle of the 19th century, the Eixample was the new playground for the bourgeoisie of the time. Here you will find the modern shops and restaurants but also the great masterpieces of the Modernisme architecture.
CASA MILÀ / LA PEDRERA
Gaudí’s masterpiece. A raw sculpture carved and moulded into Passeig de Gràcia. Offensive at the time, abandoned to its destiny and recovered to its grandeur, Casa Milà was a very troubled commission that included not only fights and court cases but also a few subtle acts of vengeance by its creator.
SAGRADA FAMILIA
The unfinished temple, Gaudí’s obsession and the symbol of a city. The Sagrada Familia is like a storybook that is missing many pages. Find out about the temple’s past, present and future and hear about the architect’s tragic end. Our tour finishes here with the hope that someday you’ll see Gaudí’s dream realised.
Important Info
- Reservations for the Gaudí Free Tour are essential as, in order to maintain the quality, numbers are limited in all our tours.
- It does not include a visit to the interior of the buildings.
- Because some of the attractions are quite far apart, two short metro trips will be involved (fare not included). If you can, please bring a metro pass.
- Our Free Walking Tours are geared towards independent travelers. If you are a group of more than 6 people please contact us for more information.

Wonderful tour. We had really good time, both of us grandma and grandson of 15 years old. First moment when he heard the will be 2.5 hours long the boy said oh it's too long but finally we didn't even noticed how fast the time was over. So energetic, with a good sence of humor and a lot of info for any age. We had in our group kids of 3 and 5 years old and they were involved in discussions and all of us had wonderful time. All was just great!!

Everyone in the group was very happy with the tour that we had with this company.Dealing with Gorka the owner was wonderful. The booking process was easy, honest, open communication, with quick and easy updates.We had to shorten our tour due to our cruise schedule changes and he even gave us a refund for the shortened hours.We certainly will use Runner Bean Tour again and will recommend to our friends and Family.Zenaida Caro

The 2nd Gaudi Tour with Jarrod was also fabulous. So much knowledge shared in an easy to follow way - great spots identified for photos and tips on how to get the best from the Metro. Amazing introductions to Barcelona. Thank you so much.

Our walk with Lisa was outstanding. Her love for history and culture, especially that of often ignored Catalonia, came through wonderfully. Her talks during our stops were so interesting. And it was just the right mix of walking and stopping. Even my husband who is not a big walker, said the time flew by.

Highly recommend! My family with 3 and 5 year old had a great time exploring the gothic quieter with Tati the guide. She was fantastic and was able to keep the children entertained and involved thoroughout. It is rare to get an educational and historical tour with children this young but Tati was able to achieve this for almost three hours. The older and younger in the group all learnt some things and had a great time. Thank you!

I had a really fun & insightful Gaudi walking tour with Lisa. Lisa was very knowledgeable about Gaudi & his works but what I enjoyed most was that she also provided context about the world events & cultural norms of that time. This coupled with interesting lesser known facts, really brought the places to life. Lisa is a skilled story teller and patiently answered the many questions from our group. Would highly recommend.

A great introduction to Gaudi and Barcelona . We had an excellent Irish guide Lisa who took us through Gaudi’s early life and on to his main career. We met in Placa Reial off La Rambla . Gaudi did the lampposts . Then to Palau Guell , Casa Batllo and El Pedrera . Finishing at Sagrada Familia . She showed us many features of these amazing buildings and had good pictures of their interiors. This tour does not take you inside buildings. We learnt about Barcelona history and the context of the Modernism movement in relation to the wider societal changes going on at the end of 19th and early 20 th centuries.The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining throughout.
Olivia Benda

I recently attended a Gothic Quarter Tour of Barcelona, and while I had high hopes, my experience was disappointing. The guide focused more on humor than on providing substantive historical information, which detracted from the educational experience many participants were seeking. While a light-hearted approach can enhance a tour, the frequent mockery of historical events overshadowed the city's rich heritage. I believe a better balance between entertainment and informative content would greatly improve the experience. Thank you for considering my feedback.

Noah’s Runner Bean tour of the Gothic Quarter was a brilliant introduction to Barcelona. Not only did he share some of the fascinating History of the city, but the walk helped us navigate the area for the rest of our week. Noah’s presentation was interesting and funny. By the end, I felt he’d taken the trouble to engage with everyone in the group. It was a highlight of our holiday. Thanks Noah.

Really enjoyable 2.5 hour, walk through the gothic quarter of Barcelona. Lisa, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and articulated the historical and political facts with passion and a sense of real depth of understanding of the Catalan people.I thoroughly enjoyed the walk. It was flat. Lisa watched out for those with any mobility difficulties.I liked that when we met Lisa encouraged us to say a little something of where we were from etc. It was a great mix of Australian, German, Italian, American, Norwegian, English and Lisa brought the Irish element.100% worth going with this company. Highly recommend. Really relaxed pace. Informative and fun, whilst retaining respect for the locals, their neighbourhood and cultures.

Tt was a good walking tour for our visit in Barcelona. Jarrod was very knowledgeable of the Gothic Quarters. It actually rained during our tour but not hard enough to stop us from going. He actually showed us the beauty of the streets of the Gothic Quarters when it rains. We’ve joined other walking tours in different European cities and we see that people that joins this kind of tours are more interested and engaged. Highly recommend Runner Bean Tours Barcelona and hopefully you get Jarrod as your guide.

This was the best tour we had in Barcelona. Albert is an exceptional historian who is fluent in English, French, Spanish and Catalonian. So helpful in how he broke down the city into 3 main areas, what to explore on our own, and then, of course, the amazing history of Gaudí along with showing us Gaudi’s out of this world architectural masterpieces. Stories behind these structures were fascinating. Loved every moment of this tour. Thank you Albert!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Runner Bean walking tour through the old city and the history that our guide Noah shared. Noah loves history and was more than happy to add additional context to the script. He added humour to the stories and encouraged us to get to know each other as well. We met a couple of other Canadians who live very close to us on the tour.

We ended up in Barcelona very last minute and for only 36 hours with my elderly parents. We woke up with no idea what to do- my father being a huge Gaudi fan- I googled and found this tour for FREE and after takingIt we gladly would have paid a fee. Katharyn was our tour guide- she was so entertaining, personable, packed with knowledge, and very engaging. Thank you for such a great day!A lot of walking which we loved- just make sure you wear comfy shoes 🙂 wish we had one more day to do the gothic tour!

Despite the weather, we thoroughly enjoyed the Gothic Quarter tour. Tati was our guide and she brought wonderful passion and energy to our experience. It is very obvious that she loves the city and its history and sharing it with visitors. We visited and learned about quite a few places and historical events throughout the Quarter that I’m sure we would have missed otherwise. I only hope what we gave her at the end was generous enough to reflect the quality of the tour.We would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Barcelona

This tour was something else! It was only 4 of us, so it felt like a private tour (lucky me), my guide was Lisa e she is a star! Lisa is really really knowledgeable and she not only explains things about Gaudi’s buildings, but also Gaudi’s like, what really helps us make sense of everything in a deeper way. She was also always trying to keep us in comfortable spots, always in the shade, away from the cars, super thoughtful. I highly recommend it! Lisa inspired me to learn more about Gaudi and Spain and what are trips about if not to expand your knowledge on the world?!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Noah. And we appreciated his understanding of historical events that put everything we saw in perspective.

We loved Tati! We signed up for the free Gaudí tour, and she devoted more than 2 hours to showing us three sites including La Sagrada Família. This included two subway rides which was also fun to travel with a local. She is a ray of sunshine and an amazing storyteller. It was a great experience way to sightsee in Barcelona and we’d sign up again with Runner Beans without hesitation!

Very interesting and well organized guided tour. The Gothic Quarter is rich in history and hidden secrets. I was afraid that 2.5 hours might be too much but instead a little more time to see certain things more calmly and take photos would have been appreciated!Noah great guide! See you in Italy 😄🇮🇹🇮🇹

Best Walking tour in Barcelona!I went on the Gothic tour on the 19th of July with Jarrod. Before this tour I was unaware of Barcelona's intrinsic history behind its beautiful culture and interesting archetecture. Over the 2 hour tour (Jarrod made sure there was a break in the middle for ice cream) we learnt about this brilliant city and unlike other tours didnt feel tired bit instead invigerated. I could have gone on a 7 hour tour with This company!Strongly recommed for anyone wanting to learn about Barcelona- best part of my trip. MAKE SURE TO TIP well!!!

Julie was the best walking tour guide I've ever had, and I've had a walking tour in over 25 countries.

I spent my last day in Barcelona by doing the gothic quarter walking tour with this company and especially with Julie as our guide. Julie was simply wonderful and one of the best guides I have had in my walking tours across Europe. Her style was unique. she involved the group, had anecdotes to share, and a way to make the group live through the period. She was also extremely patient and stayed back for a few mins to address any questions. She seemed very passionate about her work and it showed up when she was explaining things. I would definitely recommend Julie and the Runner Bean Tours as well for their unique style of training their employees to make our experiences memorable. I wish I took the other tours too, with this company.

My family and I thoroghly enjoyed our Gaudi tour with Julie. She had everyone introduce themselves, which made it easier to strike up conversations during the tour. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona, it's expansion, Gaudi and the changing political and economic views during his time. She explained how Gaudi got his start, has pictures of the interior of the buildings you see, explains the outside facades, etc. She was patient, answered all our questions and can speak French, German, Spanish and English. Truly a delightful tim. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you Julie and the Runner Beans Tour group! 🙂

As first time visitors of Barcelona, I was recommended this tour by family who are very familiar with Spain. My partner and I booked the Gaudi tour which was a fantastic experience. Our guide Lisa was amazing, very knowledgeable, friendly, and inclusive. Lisa had a great way of explaing the significance (history, politics, economics) of these sites and was amazing at creating positive energy and encouraging questions, sharing insights and interpretations amongst the group. The whole experience felt very genuine. If we had time, I wouldn't hesistate at the opportunity to book another runner bean tour anywhere in the world. Fantastic experience all around.

I really recommend booking a tour with Runner Bean! Our guide was Noah, and he was fantastic. Personable, funny, and very knowledgeable. Oh, and he likes to quiz the group as you go along!One of the main reasons I liked this tour is that it was the only one I could find before 6pm! Our tour lasted from 11am to almost 2pm... and our group was 19 people so it's not too big. There is a short break in the middle of the tour to grab some refreshments, or a coffee or a snack or sandwich.Be sure to ask Noah about his recommendations on places to eat and things to see. I can't remember the name of the restaurant he told us to check out but it was fantastic after the tour.10/10 would book again.

Enjoyed a Runner Bean Gothic Quarter tour today. Julia was our guide, and I had a wonderful time and learned a lot. We saw Roman columns, heard stories of Medieval saints, kings, dragon slayers, and Catalan history. I saw so many interesting parts of this city that I would have never seen on my own. We had a small group and Julia was careful to be sure we could all see the sites and hear her narration. It was a 10 out of 10 experience!

We were recommended Runner Bean tours from friends and were not disappointed in the slightest. Julie was a brilliant and very knowledgable tour guide and despite a rain shower, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. It is however essential to prebook as people were turned away from our tour, having reached the maximum 20, and having only a short time in Barcelona, we would not have wanted to be disappointed. 10 out of 10 for the whole experience, from booking, meeting up and tour.

We had a nice break in between where we stopped for coffee, and ended the tour at the Barcelona Cathedral. I highly recommend if you want to go for a nice stroll through Barrio Gotico and would like to know what you’re looking at.
