★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,395 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $513

Start with guides such as Jimena, Carlos, Roger, Mirko, or Lucas in Barcelona’s Old Town and Passeig de Gràcia. Walk through Gaudí’s Eixample and the Gothic Quarter, transfer by boat to the heliport, take a roughly six-minute coastal helicopter flight, then finish at Port Vell.

“Walking section of the tour we took in a few sights and interesting locations but was fairly standard. Taxi then to the heliport and after alot of waiting we took our flight which was great. We then missed our scduked boat tour but we're given an open ticket. The boat tour itself was rubbish. Not really a tour as such just a ride along the coast and port with no comms. Over all I would probably separate this out yourself as guide didn't join you on the boat or the helicopter which you could book separately and there are better walking and cycling tours of the city.”

While she did provided important historical dates and details about landmarks visited, it was her interesting nuggets and obscure trivia that made this tour so enjoyable. I walked away feeling I'd gained a greater understanding of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, as well as a real sense of the vibe and flavour of modern Barcelona. 100% recommend this tour and Mariah.Read more”
