Best way to see Barcelona's highlights. This tour is good if you have a tight schedule in Barcelona and don't want to miss the most important sights. Or if you have more time,this will serve as a primer so you can later decide what's worth more of your attention. Oriol does a great job designing and customizing the tour to your liking and he has a wealth of knowledge to share about his city (Barcelona). He even finishes the tour by offering to take you to the terrace of the building where he lives which has breathtaking views of the city. It is a great tour to take, don't miss it!

Best Running Tour of Barcelona!

laura_r, Jun 2026

10/10- second time running through Barcelona with Oriol and again it was fantastic! Asked what I would like to see this time so I gave him a few suggestions and the loop was beautiful and informative. He has another run picked out for next year! If you are a runner, do not miss this experience!

Great Experience! Great Run!

Allyn_M, Jun 2026

Tour guide, Oriol, was AMAZING! He catered the tour to exactly what we were interested in. My husband and I are intermediate runners and he kept our speed and showed us around multiple main points of Barcelona. Would definitely do it again! Thanks Oriol!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you Allyn! It was a pleasure run with you. See you next time in Texas!

Thanks a lot to Oriol for the running experience on my first day in Barcelona. This was one of the highlights of my visit to Barcelona, starting off my visit with running in the city, guided by a great local guy, with lots of information.

Best early morning run!

Arnold_T, Feb 2026

What an amazing early morning run through this beautiful city. Oriol was a great guide, very informative and super nice guy. Would highly recommend.

Running in Barcelona

Ben_B, Oct 2025

Oriol was an excellent tour guide, who is clearly passionate about his city. It was a 10km run but did not feel like it as Oriol spends lots of time explaining history, showing you the big attractions as well as some hidden gems, while helping you get some great photos. It was so nice to spend some running around Barcelona with a friendly local who makes the whole experience so easy and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Fun run around Barcelona

Lucia, Sep 2024

Oriol contacted me before the trip to ask about what I would like to see on my running tour. It was definitely a fun run and the early start meant you get to enjoy the important spots with minimal tourists. He even helped me take my best holiday photo!

Perfect way to acquaint yourself and get some exercise all at the same time!

Ted_K, Jul 2024

Oliol was the perfect running partner and guide through his own beautiful city! It was so great to see the sites early before the locations were full of people. It was also the perfect time to run and get to hear a super knowledgeable viewpoint of the city highlights. A plus was that after the fact Oliol emailed me many of the places we talked about so that I could take my family back afterwards. I look forward to getting to run together again.

Fun sightseeing run

Shante_W, Jun 2024

Met right in the middle of the gothic quarter. Early morning run before the city is busy. Guide showed up right on time. Viewed great city sights. Oriol Is knowledgeable and a true local, got to hear about his favorite places in the city. Guide kept pace with slowest runner allowing everyone to enjoy the run. Plan to do this again when I visit Barcelona. Thank you Oriol!!

Best way to see Barcelona!

laura_r, Jun 2024

I had one full day in Barcelona and wanted to see the city by running. ORIOL was amazing--we did a 10K loop around the area (he picked me up from my hotel) and gave us the insiders tour as he was born and raised in Barcelona. There were two others in our group who were fun to meet as well. Thank you!

Oriole is the greatest

Linda_A, May 2024

This running tour was amazing. Oriole picked us up in his car and took us to run. We ran about a 10 K with multiple stops. The final stop was at his house where we had beverages on his rooftop!

A great way to start the day!

Antony_P, Sep 2023

Oriol is a passionate Catalan and Barcelonian with deep roots in his community. I could not imagine having a better guide to this beautiful and captivating city. He also likes to run! Pace was perfect (around 6min/k) plus some breaks for photos. Possibly the best possible introduction to Barcelona, and a great way to start the day. Absolutely loved it!

Really enjoyable, Oriol's...

David_C, Jul 2022

Really enjoyable, Oriol's running trip is brilliant fun and highly recommended. If you like running and want to see more of Barcelona then this is for you. We ran at a very easy pace with lots of stops and drinks provided by Oriol. A great fun way to start the day!
