Shore Excursions and Side Trips in/near Barcelona (Catalonia)

Guided Small-group and private shore trips in and around Barcelona (Catalonia)

Spanish Trails® Adventure small-group and private shore excursions and tours from Barcelona cater to our guests who have only one day to explore Barcelona (Catalonia) and for those guests who are looking for multi-day side trips and romantic getaways near Barcelona before or after their cruise.

Cruise shore trips/excursions for any itinerary and budget

Spanish Trails®’ small-group shore excursions (2-8 persons) and private excursions/touring include:
Great half-day guided excursions (4-6 hours) such as our Barcelona City Tour, Girona City and Salvador Dalí tour, and Tasting Barcelona (wine and food city tours in Barcelona), as well as: our Spanish Trails® Adventure Original full-day guided excursions (6-10 hours): Wines of Catalonia, Medieval Villages, Horse Around, Kayak Central, Cliffs and Coves, Costal Villages, Peaks and Valleys and Routes and Tastings. Naturally, any of these can be combined into a multi-day side trip in Catalonia with accommodation arranged through Spanish Trails® Adventure trip planning. Private touring is a favorite for cruise ship passengers and other travellers who have their own Barcelona (Catalonia) travel itineraries already in mind and simply need great guide services and van to get them to their destinations.

All-inclusive shore excursions in and around Barcelona

Cruise shore excursions in/near Barcelona are mostly all-inclusive guided day excursions, meaning one of our friendly native English-speaking driver/guide accompanies you and any other necessary equipment is provided. A great lunch in a traditional, non-touristy restaurant is included in the day shore excursion price. Shorter (half-day) Barcelona day excursions are usually priced by “Van and Driver” (this links to van and driver page) and do not include lunch so that guests have more time to explore Barcelona to the maximum.

*Spanish Trails® guide services make sure “non-lunching” guests finish their day excursions at a great Tapas bar or restaurant in Barcelona Center, near the port, where you will feel comfortable blending in with the locals and not having to spend a lot of money to enjoy great Spanish food and wine. As well, a suggested, mapped itinerary for the rest of your day or visit will be provided based on your interests. Spanish Trails® Adventure itineraries are our personal suggestions of the “best of things to do and see” to ensure a quality, productive visit to Barcelona and the wonderful region of Catalonia. Do not be hurried, but do not waste time getting lost!
