What to do for New Year’s Eve in Barcelona 2019-2020

Ann Marie Brannigan 7 Comments

Visiting the city on this special night? Wondering what to do on New Year’s Eve in Barcelona? Whether you are looking for traditional with family, party time with friends or fun with kids, we’ll show you what’s on offer!

To start with, what do the locals do for Nochevieja (New Year)? Well, the evening of the 31^st is usually spent feasting with family. Possibly the most traditional dish eaten is escudella amb carn d’olla, a clear broth made with a whole array of meat cuts and served with giant pasta shells.

When the New Year arrives, the tradition is to eat 12 grapes synchronized exactly with the 12 dongs… it’s a LOT harder than it sounds and is very funny to take part in! If you manage, without choking that is, they say you will be blessed with good luck the following year.

Toasting the New Year with a gold ring in your glass of cava will bring wealth and prosperity. Sporting red lingerie is also considered a good thing, though more linked to love than money.

After finishing the grapes and cava, locals will often head out to meet friends at various points in the city and party the night away. That said you don’t have to wait for midnight to get the party going, so here’s a guide of where you can celebrate this New Year in Barcelona!

Street events for New Year’s Eve in Barcelona 2019-2020

Plaça d’Espanya

As expected, Montjuïc is hosting Barcelona’s official New Year’s Eve celebration. It is a FREE event with music, lights and a wonderful pyrotechnic display around the Magic Fountain.

This is a family-friendly event and hugely popular with the locals. They head over in the thousands (last year that equated to 94,000!) so make sure you get there early to claim a decent spot. There is the pre-show that starts at 9:30 pm which includes the Magic Fountain lights display. The New Year’s Eve event itself begins around 11:45 pm and includes a spectacular firework show and some performances. This part usually lasts around 30 minutes and will see you into the New Year in style.

OUR TIP: Use Tarragona metro station afterwards if at all possible. It is a little further, but it will be a lot less crowded than Espanya metro station.

Plaça Catalunya

Due to its central location, Plaça Catalunya gets absolutely packed on New Year’s Eve. It’s perfect though if you’re looking for a cheap option to celebrate the New Year.

Be warned, however, as the party revellers do more than just congregate swigging cava. They take part in a rather wacky tradition that will take you by total surprise if you’re not expecting it. With the final dong of the midnight bells, thousands of people haul their cava bottles into the centre of the square. A real nightmare for the health & safety conscious!

OUR TIP: If you do forget your grapes and cava, fear not as there will be plenty of people around ready to help you out… for a price.

Barcelona Clubs to celebrate New Year’s Eve 2019-2020

Most clubs organize THE party of the year for New Year’s Eve. If you’re looking to dance the night away, there’s plenty on offer but remember to buy tickets in advance! Here are some of the most popular nightclub options:

Rooftop Terraces to welcome the New Year

If you fancy seeing the city’s fireworks from above then check out some of the many rooftop terraces available.

High-end options include the Mandarin Oriental and the Majestic La Dolce Vitae. The Majestic also offers some very luxurious menu options for New Year’s evening. Something more affordable would be 1881 Sagardi on top of the Catalan History Museum by the port, Alaire Terrace Bar and B-Hotel.

For views looking down into the whole city check out Mirablau club on Tibidabo Hill.

Restaurants for a special night

Many restaurants will offer a special menu for New Year that will naturally cost a little more than usual. Here are a handful of suggestions ranging from the extravagant to the more affordable.

El Palace

The height of luxury to see in 2020 can be enjoyed at El Palace Hotel at their rooftop Winter Garden Gala dinner. Cocktails and appetizers, a sumptuous 6-course dinner, live music late into the night and excellent views of the city’s fireworks all combine to create a fabulous night. The experience costs €520 pp.

Torre d’Alta Mar

For spectacular 360º views and food prepared by renowned chefs, head up 75 meters and experience a Barcelona New Year at Torre d’Alta Mar. The 2019-20 menu is €275 pp and includes all you’d expect at this level of dining.

Dos Torres

Located in the higher, wealthier part of town, Dos Torres is a gorgeous modernist house & garden where you can enjoy an elegant affordable dinner. The location means you escape the city centre madness if that’s what you’re after! The 2019 New Year 5-course menu is €91.40 pp.

El Nacional

A gorgeous environment full of history and a must-visit whilst in town if not for the New Year. El Nacional was built in 1870 as a cafe & modernist theatre, later it converted to a fabric dye factory and then a car dealer’s shop. It was used as a food collection point after the Spanish Civil War and before its latest conversion into this “restaurant mall” was a garage. Its 2,600m2 is divided smartly into 4 bars and 4 restaurants with something for everyone.

Els 4 cats

For something a little more bohemian and relaxed, we suggest booking a table in Els 4 Cats. This was after all where Picasso used to hang out. Last year they offered live music and an elegant 8-course menu though details for 2019 are still to be released.

And for something a bit different…

For a more familiar New Year’s Eve in Barcelona head to Flaherty’s Irish Bar for dinner and late-night partying where Auld Lang Syne is guaranteed! Last year a 3-course meal was €38 pp. This year is still TBC.

For some American hospitality at no extra NYE cost, check out CocoVail Beer Hall. Here the beer flows till 3 am with no door fee or price hike. Get there early to get a place!

If mixing culture with pleasure is your thing, try out Tablao Flamenco Cordobes. For €225 a privileged group of 80 guests will enjoy dinner & show, beginning at 8:30 pm. If you want to party on into the night, there is a club downstairs. Palacio Flamenco also offers a New Year show. Dinner, a drink & the show cost €150 pp (€200 VIP) and for just a drink & the show, €75 pp. You can all party till 3 am in the club.

If you haven’t overindulged the night before you might want to take part in the Primer Bany de L’Any 2020, first swim of the year! Head down to the CNAB sports club in Barceloneta and take part in this crazy tradition!

Remember that the metro runs all night so there is no excuse to go out and enjoy New Year’s Eve in Barcelona!

Staying in the city during the holiday? Don’t miss our post about what to do for Christmas in Barcelona. Our Gothic Quarter and Gaudí Free Tours will be running as usual on December 31st.

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!!

We attended 2 brilliant walking tours this week. The 1st The Gothic Quarter tour with Lisa was fantastic. She shared a love of Catalonia and Barcelona and the sights were great. 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.

Great walking tour with Lisa. Do this tour first when you visit Barcelona, well worth it.

15:53 14 Nov 24

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.

Albert was a wealth of knowledge and you can tell he really loves history! Thanks Albert!

We toured the Gothic Quarter with Albert, and it was one of the most interesting, informative tours we've done. We had a small group, so everyone could hear..and the pace was just right for all in the group! Albert, being a historian, was very detailed and could answer all of our questions! He has a charismatic personality and was personable to everyone! A great tour!! Thanks, Albert!!

This is the best private tour I have ever taken! My husband and I booked a 6-hour private tour of the Gothic quarter, La Sagrada Familia Basilica, and Park Guell. Money and time well spent!!! Our guide, Dani, was so knowledgeable and friendly! I recommend this guide and this company whole heartedly!

21:02 28 Oct 24

21:29 26 Oct 24

I went on two of the Runner Bean tours and both were amazing, after the second tour which was around the Gothic quarter, Jarrod the tour guide was very helpful with directions and even gave us a list of the restaurants in the area that he recommends. Definitely recommend it if you are visiting Barcelona.

10:37 26 Oct 24

We had the Gaudi trip with Jarrod . It was a rainy day but he made sure we complete the tour safely. He is knowledgeable, fun and a great caring guide. We visited the Gaudi marvels and got excellent trivia of each of the architectural masterpieces . Highly recommended.

15:59 25 Oct 24

Jarrod was fantastic as our guide. When you see "free" you wonder about the quality of the tour, but let me assure you it was a five star all the way. Jarrod was very passionate and knowledgeable about the Gothic area.He made the tour very interesting and we were so happy we booked through Runner Bean........highly recommend this tour.....thank you Runner Bean

19:28 23 Oct 24

I did the Gaudi tour with Lisa and absolutely loved it! Lisa was an excellent tour guide, taught us so much, kept us engaged the whole time and gave us tips and tricks for the rest of the city. Would highly recommend!

We had such a great tour of the Gothic Quarter with Jarrod. He was incredible knowledgeable and engaging.

Julie was an excellent guide! We visited Barcelona through the prism of Gaudì's buildings. Lots of cool anecdotes, a good pace of visit, thank you again for this experience ✨

I’ve done ‘free’ walking tours in many cities. This was the best I’ve ever been on. Noah was very knowledgeable, personable and engaging! Great overview of the Gothic Quarter for first time visitors! Highly recommend!

17:51 15 Oct 24

Anna took great of us. Patiently and professionally showed us all things Gaudi. Would recommend.

17:40 15 Oct 24

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!

We had a great experience eith Runner Bean Tours. They were very-very helpful, informative, responsive, and supportive in any ways.Fernando was a great, enthusiastic guide for us, telling literally everything what could have been told within 4 hours.We really recommend to everyone to utilize them.

19:29 13 Oct 24

Julia was a great guide for our Gaudi Tour in Barcelona. She managed to get us all through the subway system without losing anyone, and we had a fun time learning more about the art and interesting tidbits of Gaudi and his work.

13:14 13 Oct 24

Fantastic Gaudi tour with our guide Julie. Highly recommend

20:22 12 Oct 24

Thank you so much for a wonderful introduction to Barcelona. I've never thought that Gothic tour can uncover so many other sides of the city and country. Lisa effortlessly took us from the Romans and Franko to contemporary Catalonya making it personal while very educational.

19:37 12 Oct 24

Fascinating tour with Julie - very knowledgeable and interesting to learn more about Gaudí . Highly recommended.

13:12 12 Oct 24

great tour, informative, our guide was Julie, well versed in the history of Gaudi. Enjoyed the tour.

14:51 11 Oct 24

Great Guide, very informative & fun walking tour of gothic.

22:56 10 Oct 24

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.

16:44 08 Oct 24

What a well organised and fascinating tour. Julie was a brilliant tour guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, interesting and fun. Don’t miss the opportunity to go on this tour. You won’t regret it.

Our Gothic Quarter tour with Jarred was phenomenal! 10/10 must do when visiting Barcelona!

14:01 06 Oct 24

Noah was a phenomenal tour guide. He was humorous, engaging, and extremely informative. We had our 8 year old with us and he made the tour family friendly and fun. He made it a point to chat with every person in the group.

17:44 05 Oct 24

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.

13:48 05 Oct 24

We had Tati today and she was incredible! She is knowledgeable and personable and does a great job of interspersing the rich history with funny notes about Barcelona. She has 10+ years of experience and it shows

18:41 04 Oct 24

Thr tour was great and we learned a lot from the tour. We would have not seen the places had we not joined the tour. And Noah made the tour exceptional. Thank you Noah for a fun filled day. The recommended restaurant Elisabets was topnotch. Great food. Served to bottles of wine for 5 ppl. Gracias Noah and Runner Bean Tours

14:02 04 Oct 24

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.

04:32 03 Oct 24

Our guide, Jarrod, was clearly knowledgeable, experienced and entertaining. We found ourselves discussing new learnings post tour. Highly recommend this gothic tour

18:30 02 Oct 24

We toured the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona with Runner Bean-Julie was our guide and we enjoyed the entire walking tour! Julie was knowledgeable and full of facts and legends from the Gothic Quarter. Maps and audience participants made the experience more fun! Very much recommend any tours from this company!

18:42 01 Oct 24

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.

19:58 30 Sep 24

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.

12:17 29 Sep 24

My wife and I did the gothic tour with Jarrod. He was awesome. Super friendly knowledgeable and good energy. The tour covered a lot for interesting areas and Jarrod gave us a good historical background of the area. We are very happy that we did the tour and happy that we got Jarrod.

20:00 28 Sep 24

I had a great time on the walking tour with Jarrod as our guide. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the tour fun with interesting facts and stories about the city. Highly recommend this tour for a quick, insightful overview of the area! Thanks, Jarrod!

13:29 27 Sep 24

Jarrod was an amazing tour guide.I am strongly recomending Runner Bean Tours Barcelona to all tourists. good job! please dont come late, as the tours start punctually and the beggining is introduction, which makes the friendly atmosphere. Happy to join the trip and thankful for all the sights we were shown. I liked that he gave tips which places can be visited for free.

19:16 21 Sep 24

Anne Marie did an excellent job guiding a group of 20 on this walking tour through gothic quarter. She is very knowledgeable and explained the history of Barcelona in an interactive manner. She engaged with our group by having some of us portray certain historical figures, which was fun. Highly recommend doing this when you visit BCN!

17:27 18 Sep 24

We took our tour with Noah, who was phenomenal! Our first event in Barcelona and it was the perfect way to start our trip. Very informational, super personable, highly recommend!

22:03 17 Sep 24

Jarrod was a wonderful guide with so much information about the Gaudi propteries. Great overview to help decide which options to make to view the inside of the houses.

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.

21:48 15 Sep 24

Jarrod was amazing at explaining the details of gothic quarters and the history. A very good 2.5 hrs visiting this historic part of Barcelona.

20:21 15 Sep 24

We had a great tour with Jarrod today of the gothic quarter. We saw many narrow mysterious streets and beautiful buildings and heard some great stories (some myths too) about Barcelona history. It's definitely worth booking. I'm wishing I'd also booked the Gaudi tour too now!

16:04 13 Sep 24

Lisa is enthusiastic and fun leading the Gothic tour with a encyclopedic knowledge of Spanish and Catalan culture and anecdotes of historical relevance. Educational and entertaining.

15:04 13 Sep 24

11:28 12 Sep 24

We took the dark history tour on our first night in Barcelona. Noah, our tour guide, was fantastic! It was a great introduction to the city and he gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip!

22:44 11 Sep 24

I did the Gothic Quarter walking tour and learned so much. Our guide, Noah, was super knowledgeable, personable, and funny!! The tour was above and beyond what I thought it would be and highly recommend.

Very thorough and enjoyable Gaudi tour. This was a repeat for me originally doing your tour in 2010. Same great experience!

17:41 09 Sep 24

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!

07:27 09 Sep 24

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.

20:37 07 Sep 24

Jarrod was our tour guide for our walking tour of the Gothic District. He was awesome. I'm not a history buff and he was able to blend the history of the area with anecdotal stories to keep everyone's attention. The time just flew by. Highly recommend them.

17:24 07 Sep 24

Jarrod, the tour guide, did an excellent job educating our group on the Gaudi tour. He also went out of his way to help me with the ride on the Metro system. I would recommend Runner Bean Tours Barcelona to everyone.

Kathryn is both knowledgeable and passionate about the topic and made it a great experience. It’s easy paced, informative and well recommended.

12:30 07 Sep 24

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!

16:30 06 Sep 24

Great tour very informative JAROD did a fantastic job at looking after everyone and providing great info before during and after the tour.

13:25 04 Sep 24

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

05:51 04 Sep 24

Fantastic tour! Our guide Julie was extremely knowledgeable and an excellent story teller as she led us along the Gothic Quarter. Highly recommend!

08:44 31 Aug 24

Jarrod is a fantastic guide! We did the Gaudi tour one day and the Gothic tour the next. He's knowledgable and guides the flow of the group through time and space skillfully! We learned so much and can't wait to keep layering the learning as we explore through our trip!

17:08 30 Aug 24

Amazing tour of the Gothic neighborhood with Jarrod!

19:57 29 Aug 24

This tour was wonderfully informative and entertaining. A great way to spend a few hours learning of Gaudi's life and work. Highly recommend if you are visiting Barcelona.

11:52 22 Aug 24

Lisa was very lovely and informative the whole time ! Great energy

20:05 21 Aug 24

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?!

06:22 21 Aug 24

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Noah. And we appreciated his understanding of historical events that put everything we saw in perspective. He was highly relational and acknowledged the diversity of mindset in the group. We only wish we would’ve taken this tour on the first day. It would have helped us understand the other things we visited. Highly recommend!

21:28 19 Aug 24

Excellent gothic tour.We really enjoyed the two and a half hour walk; and at the same time learned a lot, as Noah, our tour guide, is very knowledgeable, and helped us understand the history of this beautiful city and all of Spain.Noah is not only a very nice person, he is in this kind of business a true professional.Thank you,franz and consuelo.

16:30 17 Aug 24

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!

16:52 14 Aug 24

Jarrod was a wonderful tour guide. He was a great storyteller and had a rich knowledge of the area. Highly recommend if you’re interested in the city’s history

Massimo Nurisso

18:44 13 Aug 24

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 😄🇮🇹🇮🇹

17:02 13 Aug 24

A great way to explore Barcelona, Jarrod was great!

Our guide Julie was excellent, engaging, very informative. The tour was well worth it and took us to spots we would not have seen otherwise.

21:44 19 Jul 24

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!!!

21:23 19 Jul 24

11:40 16 Jul 24

Jarrod did a fantastic job of providing an entertaining tour. He kept our 10 and 12yo's engaged and had a lot of knowledge to share.

16:24 12 Jul 24

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

Surya Narayanan

19:22 06 Jul 24

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.

19:11 06 Jul 24

Julie was an amazing guide, super knowledgeable, fun and clearly an experienced tour guide! Highly recommend even if you're jet lagged she'll keep your attention!

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! 🙂

14:55 04 Jul 24

Fredrick Davidson

05:57 04 Jul 24

We booked the Gaudi tour. Going with Runner Bean was a great decision. Mari was our guide and we thought she was excellent. Our only mistake was not also booking a tour of the Gothic area! We highly recommend Runner Bean.

19:31 03 Jul 24

Very relaxed and yet very informative. We’ve gained deeper appreciation for Gaudi’s life and works. Jarrod is such a gem.

15:15 03 Jul 24

Ram was a fantastic tour guide with an expansive knowledge and a great sense of humor. We really enjoyed this. Thank you!

15:04 03 Jul 24

We managed to get Jarred for both tours and found him to be a very knowledgeable and experience travel guide. His passion for Barcelona history shone, even though he’s an Aussie and we really appreciated his experience and understanding of the culture.

12:56 03 Jul 24

An excellent tour given by Noah. Intersting, informative and amusing! I enjoyed every minute of it, and can thoroughly recommend Runner Bean.

Absolutely incredible experience exploring the works of Gaudí! Highly recommend. Our tour guide Ram was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable.

16:07 26 Jun 24

Runner Bean is a fabulous tour company! Booking was efficient and smooth. Gorka was very communicative through the process. We did a private tour with Dani of the Gothic quarter and Sagrada Familia. It felt like spending the day with a local and he tailored the tour to us. Dani was very personable and full of knowledge. We highly recommend a private tour with Runner Bean and will use them again on our next visit to beautiful Barcelona!

07:45 26 Jun 24

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. Thank you Lisa!

This is a must. We were very pleased by the quality of the information and fun tour guide.

Our group of five had a phenomenal two days of tours with Diana. She was personable, knowledgeable and extremely friendly. She made all of Barcelona very relatable and told us personal anecdotes that made it even more authentic. We loved her stories and she even made lists of other places for us to visit outside of the tours during our remaining time in Barcelona. She made great food recommendations too! We had a blast and would recommend the tours with her to anyone.!

13:17 24 Jun 24

The Gothic Walking Tour with Jarrod was great! He was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, engaging and gave great recommendations. He was super accommodating and mindful of someone on our tour in a wheelchair, too. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with him!

Took a tour with Jarrod through the Gothic Quarter, it was wonderful and highly informative. Jarrod is a kind and generous guide and infuses a lot of the dense, sometimes dark subject matter of the history of the Gothic quarter with a great sense of humor. Perfect for families, couples traveling, anyone traveling to Barcelona or just looking to learn more about it’s history.

15:08 16 Jun 24

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.

We really enjoyed the tour. It was a good mix of history and sightseeing and 2,5 hours is a good length of time. Definitely recommend it!

Ram was an amazing tour guide for Barcelona! He had a really fun sense of humor and had a deep knowledge of the city. The tour was super informative and well paced, and we got a great overview of the gothic quarter in just over 2 hours

The Gothic Quarter Free Walking Tour is an excellent tour of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona. Our guide, Julie was so knowledgeable, pleasant & well spoken. She was also very concerned about all the people on the tour, that they could hear her & that everyone was able to follow her. She made the tour a very enjoyable experience!!

Noah gave me the best tour I’ve had so far. His presentation style and entertaining energy really made a difference. He made it dynamic and interactive, perfect for families or if you find history boring. I booked the night one with him too. Great way to discover the city from a local point of view. Thanks Noah 🙏🏽

Ram was an incredible guide, really friendly and informative, super interesting. Would recommend the Gaudi tour to anyone!

18:58 03 Jun 24

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!

11:22 03 Jun 24

Incredible, Ram is so amazing !Thanks again so much !!

20:39 02 Jun 24

Took the Gaudi Tour with Ram and Gothic Tour with Noah. Both were excellent. Really good information and the pace of the tour was exactly right. Both have great communication skills and made the tours funny, insightful and very enjoyable.

We went on the Gothic Quarter tour - our guide Ram was great and the tour was very interesting!

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.

Jared was factual, fun, and knowledgeable. An awesome guide. Great tour!!

18:03 29 May 24

This was my third visit to Barcelona but absolutely the best one due to the outstanding tour provided by Dani as guide and Alex as driver. Dani knew every detail about the city and was able to answer any obscure question asked. Alex whisked us around the city without any problems at all. Thank you for providing the 6 of us a wonderful experience!

Jarroed was awesome. I learned a lot about gothic square. I went to places I would never find and knew about it.

Our tour guide Katheryn was great! She took us at a pleasant pace through the major sights in Barrio Gotico, while giving us a brief and entertaining background on the history and significance of each place, some of which are easy to miss. 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.

20:38 17 May 24

I really enjoyed the gothic quarter walk.

17:45 17 May 24
