Make your own way to Barcelona Old Town (Ciutat Vella) and meet your guide. Then, set off on the first part of your experience: a small-group walking tour of Barcelona's oldest neighborhoods.
Follow your guide around the maze-like streets and hear about the history of the Old Town, whose roots stretch back to Roman times. Take in the elegant buildings and stroll down the shadowy, narrow lanes of the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic) to the Plaça de la Seu. Admire the ornate frontage of the Gothic Cathedral (Catedral La Seu) and hear how it was originally built in the 12th century, but its façade only completed in 1890.
Pose for photos by the City Hall in Plaça de Sant Jaume, and work your way through the old Jewish Quarter to Plaça del Pi to see the outside of its lovely Church of Santa Maria del Pi. Stride out along the famous La Ramblas and pass through the iconic La Boqueria food market, a jumble of colorful stalls selling fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and gourmet delicacies.
After around two hours of walking, arrive at the Old Port (Port Vell) for your cruise. Board an eco-boat — a sleek catamaran partly driven by wind and solar power — and delight in the sea breezes and Barcelona’s skyline on a 40-minute cruise along the coast.
Back on dry land, hop into a minivan and drive to the heliport for your sightseeing flight. Board the helicopter and, after a safety briefing, soar high above the city. Take in aerial views of Port Vell, the Old Town, the Olympic Village and other highlights on your 6-minute flight.
Afterward, travel back to the Columbus Monument where your tour ends.
Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required and the order of the itinerary may change depending on the boat and helicopter's availability
