FAQs
Walking Tours
Is it necessary to book in advance for the free walking tours?
Although it is not necessary to book in advance, we recommend doing so through our website instead of simply showing up at the meeting point. You will not be charged anything during this reservation.
What happens if I am late for the meeting point?
It is generally no problem to join the tours after they have started. However, if you have a reservation and are not at the departure time, we will assume that you made other plans and will start the tour. To avoid missing anything, we recommend being at the meeting point 10 minutes earlier.
Is the tour wheelchair accessible?
We have never had any problems with wheelchair users on our tours. The guide can show you alternative routes to access certain places or the metro (in the case of the Gaudí Tour in Barcelona). There are no stairs on our tours and we will do our best to adapt to your needs.
Is there a lot of walking on the tour?
You don’t need to be fit to join our walking tours. The tours last around 2 to 2 hours and 30 minutes, but there aren’t many long walks between one attraction and another. (Note that on the Gaudí Tour in Barcelona the buildings are quite far apart, so you will need to take the metro twice. The metro ticket is not included in the tour, so we recommend bringing your own ticket).
Will we be using public transport on any of the tours?
Yes, on the Gaudí Tour in Barcelona we will take the metro twice, as we need to cover long distances in a short time. This will allow you to see many different parts of Barcelona. We recommend the T-10 ticket for the metro in Barcelona, which offers 10 trips for €10.20 and can be shared between several people. The T-10 is much cheaper than the single ticket, which costs €2.20 each way. If you already have your metro pass, you can use it, and if not, the guide will explain how to buy one or give you the option of sharing a ticket with the group. This last option is ideal if you don’t plan to use the metro much in Barcelona. The guide will ask for €2 (€1 each way) from those who wish to share, to buy the T-10. Please note that this €2 is not part of the donation given at the end of the tour, but is just to spend as little as possible on transport.
Shall we go into a monument?
No, most of the buildings have an entrance fee and/or require advance booking to avoid long queues. The guide will explain what you can see inside, describe the exterior and tell you about the history of the monument. They can also tell you the prices and give you advice on booking sites or recommended times to visit. The only exception is the Gothic Tour in Barcelona, which will take a short break to visit the church of Santa María del Mar, as it is free at that time. (Please note that it may not be possible to enter the church if there are special events, such as weddings or masses).
What should I bring?
We want you to be comfortable during the tour. Therefore, in summer we recommend wearing sunscreen, sunglasses and bringing a bottle of water. In winter, it is good to dress appropriately and bring a warm coat and an umbrella if rain is forecast. Especially on afternoon tours in fall and winter, the temperature changes a lot from start to finish, so a scarf is a good idea.
What happens if it rains?
As long as people are willing, the tour will take place in all weather conditions. In case of heavy rain, please bring suitable rainwear, as it will not be provided by the guide.
Can we leave before the end of the tour?
Of course, you can leave whenever you want, but please let your guide know so that they don’t wait for you at the next stop.
Are there any breaks during the tour?
We will adapt to your needs. There will always be an early option to buy water if you didn’t bring your own and we will probably make a stop for a bathroom break halfway through the tour. On the Gaudí Tour in Barcelona there is a scheduled 10-minute break halfway through for a coffee, bathroom break or a short rest.
We are a group. Can we join the free tour?
Unfortunately not. This activity is designed for individuals traveling alone. If you are a group of 10 or more, you should book a private tour. Our prices are very affordable and the tour can be tailored to your group’s specific interests, including the meeting point and departure time.
Pub Crawls
Pub Crawls
Different days and cities have different offers. In Barcelona, the pub crawl generally includes a visit to 2 bars, with a welcome shot in each and promotions for participants, as well as fast-track entry to one of the best clubs in the city (Opium, Sutton, Shoko, Catwalk, Bling Bling, Pacha, Otto Zutz, among others). The bars and clubs change every night, so if you are interested in a particular one, send us an email and we will let you know when we will be there. In Valencia, we offer two types of pub crawl in high season. On the City Center Pub Crawl, we visit 4 bars with welcome shots, drink discounts and free entrance to a nightclub (MYA/Umbracle, La3, Play, Oven, Akuarela, Indiana, among others). The Beach Pub Crawl takes place from mid-June to mid-September and includes transportation to the port of Valencia, where we visit 3 outdoor bars with welcome shots and drink discounts. We then finish the night at one of the aforementioned clubs.
How should I dress?
Bars are fairly relaxed, but clubs have a dress code. It’s best to dress smart: no flip-flops (they’re not allowed under any circumstances for safety reasons), wear a nice shirt or T-shirt (no fancy prints), nice long trousers or shorts (summer only), nothing sporty or swimwear. Some clubs also require that you do not wear caps, cover tattoos as much as possible or remove visible piercings. If you have questions about the dress code, email us, as each club has different rules. In Barcelona they are stricter than in Valencia.
Do I need to bring identification?
Definitely yes! It is very important, as you can ask for it at the entrance to the club. Bring your national ID, as long as it has your photo and date of birth. A driver’s license is also acceptable. We do not recommend bringing your passport, but it is advisable to have a photo of it on your phone.
How old do I have to be to join the pub crawl?
You must be at least 18 years old, as this is the minimum age for consuming alcohol in Spain and also for entering clubs.
What happens if I'm late?
You can join in at any time. You have a contact number in case you have missed us at the meeting point. Please note that if you skip one of the bars, you will not receive the welcome shot somewhere else. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early.
Can I leave early?
You can leave whenever you want, we just ask that you inform your guide so that he is aware.
Does the pub crawl guarantee my entry to the club?
Taking part in the pub crawl makes getting into the club much easier, as we have a line reserved for our group. However, entry is up to you. Everyone will be checked for ID, attire and level of inebriation. If you are acting recklessly, too drunk to walk, badly dressed or without ID, you may be refused entry. In that case, we will tell you how to return to your accommodation, but you will not be reimbursed, as it is your responsibility to comply with the club rules that the guide explains at the beginning.
What if I don't drink alcohol?
You can join the pub crawl even if you don’t drink! Welcome shots are included, but you can give them to other people, a great way to start a conversation. We’ve had many people who don’t drink and still have fun.
What happens if it rains?
The pub crawl takes place whatever the weather. We recommend wearing suitable rainwear for moving from one bar to another, although fortunately it doesn’t rain inside the bars!
