If you're looking for a more interactive history lesson, then this free walking tour is for you! I was actually a tour guide's assistant for a year and a half while living in Rome, our tours covered St. Peters and the Sistine Chapel. So I feelt I knew what a good tour should look and feel like. The guide of the free walking tour In Barcelona I had was Irish guy called Duncan. He came to Barcelona for a week of vacation and now 8 years later, he's married, residing in the city and after my opinion living the dream!! The walking tour normally lasts for about 2.5 hours. However, we all had a blast and asked a lot of questions so before we knew it 3.5 hours just flew away! totally worth it! The free walking tour takes you to some of the highlights in Barcelona, including the Gotico barrio, Esglesio de Santa Maria del Pi, Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Santa Eulalia (also known as Barcelona Cathedral).
