What To Expect

Barrio Gotico (Barri Gotic)

We will start the tour by walking through winding alleyways in the oldest part of the city, the Gothic Quarter. While the name brings us back to the medieval era, the point is that everything started a long time before, during the Roman Empire when it was given the name of "Barcino". The name actually was much longer than that, you'll be surprised when you'll learn it! We will see medieval palaces and churches, the old Jewish Quarter, the famous Barcelona's busiest market, La Boqueria, and of course, some Roman remains. Halfway of the walking tour, there will be time to relax and to taste some churros dipped into hot chocolate. After having visited the old town, we will have a lunch break in one of the best tapas restaurants in town.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
