kpd21880 Posted April 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2016 We fly into BCN at 8:45am and were hoping to do a bike or walking tour of the city in the early afternoon (12noon or 1:00pm). Most tours I am finding depart at 10:30 or 11am, which is too tight of a time frame for us. Anyone have a suggestion of a tour company with a noon or 1pm tour? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Tours tend to be in the morning so that they are over before the heat of the day. Siesta starts around 1-2 p.m. for a reason - early afternoon is hot!

toseaornottosea Posted April 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2016 You may have to consider a private tour guide. Google "private tour guide Barcelona" and I'm confident you'll find many. They may be able to put you together with others in a similar boat, no pun intended, thereby reducing the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandeman's does a free walking tour at 2pm (guides work for tips). We will be doing this next week. http://www.newbarcelona-tours.com/daily-tours/free-walking-tour-of-barcelona.html Or you could probably arrange for a private tour at the time of your choosing. I know Barcelona Day tours does private tours. I don't know if there is a time restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runner Beans offers free walking tours at 11am and 4.30pm, they have two tours, one of the Gaudi monuments and the other Old City/Gothic areas. This should work for you, check out the link. Several people from our RC, including us, are going to be doing this next month:) http://www.runnerbeantours.com/barcelona-tours/free-walking-tour-gaudi/12 Edited April 26, 2016 by prish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4.30pm tour also works for us as we will be going to the Picasso museum earlier. Edited April 27, 2016 by prish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a free tour where you give tips at the end just like Runner Bean. They offer a tour at 1 pm and another at 3 pm. We took the Original and it was one of the most interesting tours we've ever gone on. The guide was Irish and very political/historical and we learned more about Barcelona than we ever dreamed possible. http://freebarcelonatours.com/walking-tours/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually ended up booking their 3pm bike tour. They said that if there weren't 4 people that day for the bike tour, we could do the walking tour instead.
