About this tour
This early walk covers the edge of Collserola Park, the pine-covered hills right behind Tibidabo. You see how abruptly the city ends and the forest begins, and then a ridge trail view looking back over the rooftops below. It is Barcelona's wildest edge, a short way from the city itself.
I start at the treeline and follow a short stretch of trail while the morning is quiet, pointing out the view as it opens up. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants nature and open air rather than another street or church. It also pairs well with a session on Tibidabo's view just below.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

You see how quickly the city gives way to pine forest just behind Tibidabo, at the edge of Collserola Park.

A short way along a ridge trail, the camera looks back toward the city spread out below the treeline.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Barcelona: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Crema catalana and Gràcia, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 12 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.

How reviews work
Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
