We took a day trip to Sitges and started the day with a walking tour by Walking Planets. After a 30 minute train ride from Barcelona we met our guide, the lovely Sandra, at the Sitges train station. We spent a great 3 or 4 hours exploring everything that Sitges had to offer. Sandra's a true local and she made... More

If you are planning a Barcelona trip do not go without taking this tour! Sandra is a native who knows more about her city's culture and history than anything you could put together yourself. The streets, walls and buildings come alive while walking with her through the real Barcelona. Her ability to connect with people is amazing and the information... More

If you want to explore Barcelona's through the eyes of a local, then Walking Planets is the way to do it. I had been to Barcelona several times and done loads of tours of Barcelona before my first walking planet experience and I haven't looked back since. While you might hear some of the same stories, Walking Planet guides bring... More

We travel all around the world, and always try to go on a walking tour to get a feel for the place and the people. Planet Raval with Sandra was fantastic - in-depth history of Catalonia and Barcelona illustrated by places along the route; Lifestyles, public policy, education, immigration - Sandra answered the questions and helped us really understand how...

I have had two Walking Planet tours in 1 week - one walking through the Gotic district and a 3hr bike tour of which both were awesome! Sandra was humorous, very informative and took the time to ask me what I was interested in to personalise the tour. I really appreciated that! If everyone could make history as interesting and...

I could have never imagined that barcelona had so many hidden treasures. I contacted Sandra, walking planets guide, to do the planet raval, I had been a couple of times in barcelona and I felt like I needed to know about the things that only locals can tell you. She opened my eye to all what's going on in the... More

This was by far the best way to see Barcelona. My two teenager daughters and I were taken around the city by our guide Sandra for two days. The tour was fun, interesting, and very informative! Amazing city and so much to see and learn. I would tour with Sandra for several more days if we had the time. Her... More

Definetely the best way to tour barcelona. Our tour guide took us places you won't see with the big tours. It felt like walking with an old friend, who happens to be a historian showing you around their home town. More

We had a brilliant time with one of the tours offered by Walking Planets! We took a bike tour around the many beaches of Barcelona first and then around some of the places in the City Centre. We really enjoyed ourselves and would really recommend this to anyone who wants to meet locals and have a brilliant time. If you... More
