guided walks in barcelona, catalonia and other bits of spain
followthebaldie.com provides exclusive personal guiding on private graded walking tours of Barcelona (town and country), Tarragona, Girona, Montserrat and the Catalan countryside, as well as longer off-the-beaten-track trips around other parts of Catalonia and Spain. Trips focusing on food and drink, taking you to participate in, or protest against, bull running in remote villages, trips concentrating on Jewish history or gay culture, holidays where you get to live and work with normal people on farms. Special offer for cruise passengers: Barcelona in 4 hours without feeling like a stupid tourist.
Groups are led by Trevor the Baldie and two hairy geezers, with administrative assistance from the indefatigable Mr Emperor Wu. Unlike official guides and most unofficial ones, we all speak excellent English, we don't make you follow silly flags or umbrellas, and we practise meet-the-people interactive guiding, underwritten by our industry-unique WSG™. When legs aren't enough, followthebaldie travels exclusively by public transport rather than in luxury tourist buses or cars. Apart from saving the planet, we meet some rather interesting people.
Try out our walk finder below, and if you can't find what you want just mail us a wishlist and we'll suggest a customised package.
