Private One 1.5 Day Tour in Barcelona

THE BEST BARCELONA 1.5 DAY TOUR

The city in and out

Are you in Barcelona city for at least one and a half day? Do you want to see as much as possible but still have some time to rest or explore the city on your own? Would you rather not have to think about organizing your sightseeing and make sure you don’t miss anything important?

When you haven’t been to Barcelona (Spain) before, it’s easy to make mistakes when planning your touring: not enough or too much time planned for rides from one place to the other and to visit each site, going back-and-forth rather than in a time-efficient manner, difficulty moving around in public transportation (or being fooled by taxi drivers)…

This itinerary will spare you all the trouble and show you the best Barcelona sites in depth but at a nice pace, and you’ll get to skip the lines, too!

Plus you’ll still have one afternoon to either rest if you just landed the day before, or continue exploring Barcelona on your own once you are familiar with it the next day. Definitely, the best way to go!

TAILOR THIS 1.5 DAY TOUR OF BARCELONA TO YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS

These city tours of Barcelona are best for people full of energy with no walking issues, such as adults and families with teens or young adults, staying at least 1.5 days in Barcelona and wanting to see everything, but also have some time on their own.

If you are traveling with kids, we recommend to add a driver in the afternoon of the full day and possibly also for the half day, or to book instead our 2 half days itineraries.

If you have walking issues or use a wheelchair, the same recommendations as for families with kids apply. Also, some sites involve stairs and skipping them requires extra time – check with us before booking so we can set the right expectations and recommend alternatives. The Sagrada Familia towers are not accessible for wheelchairs.
