Itinerary
Starting at Plaça de l'Àngel in the Ciutat Vella, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and vanish into the Gothic maze. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. The Catedral de Barcelona rises first, gargoyles and all — and riddles want to know why exactly thirteen white geese live in its cloister. Then the Pont del Bisbe arches photogenically over Carrer del Bisbe. Trivia reveals it's younger than it looks, and darker too: find the skull and dagger hidden in the stonework. The Mercado de la Boqueria ends the route in full colour — fruit pyramids, jamón curtains and juice stands begging for a break. Around two hours in Europe's densest historic quarter. The leaderboard crowns the Gothic champion.

The Explorial app truly enriched our exploration of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. The app was intuitive and the tasks were thought-provoking, making the experience rewarding. It brought us to unseen corners and disclosed the stories behind them, allowing us to appreciate the city’s heritage in a new light. Whether you are a local or a tourist, this app will make you fall in love with Barcelona all over again! Highly recommend it!
We had an awesome time on this tour! Barcelona is seriously amazing, and there are so many cool things about the city that we didn't know before. We had so much fun learning and exploring this beautiful city with this app. The information provided, and the quizzes were superb. We can't wait to do a tour like this again on our next trip!
Barcelona is by far one of the most fascinating cities in Europe. Lots of movida and energy. Great app and tour to do at your own pace. We stopped for tapas :)
Cool app and beautiful quarter! Would recommend to a group of friends and for families! I will play it again!
We have been to the city many times already but there is always something new to discover in this beautiful city. We did this tour and found new spots that we didnt know before such as the Mercado de la Boqueria. The tour showed us the highlights of the gothic quarter. We would do it again.
That's not the first I played an Explorial trail, and I have to say, I just don't get bored by it. Can't wait to play more in new cities.
Awsome, we enjoyed it a lot. So good and so fun, better than a guided tour! Nice to discover a city that way.
Great way of discovering Barcelona at your own pace. Children loved it and they got almost of the riddles right. Funny way of learning the landmarks facts. Love it
Already tried the app in Valencia, so had to try in Barcelona. And works great here as well. Got some free time and visit the city.
A great way to enjoy your stay in the city. Good weather, nice food and people. We recommend Barcelona and we recommend this app!
This was 2 hours of a relaxed and funny tour. I even convinced my kids because they could use their phones to answer to the challenges as well.
Having the option to control your pace, with so much fun challenges in the middle and being so cheap. I’m a fan!
A great way to explore a neighborhood in a fun way. Instantly motivated kids and I am thrilled to see the iconic places and learn more about the place and culture! In short, don't hesitate!
Congratulations to the staff of La Bouganville, friendliness and kindness of the waiters, very good products, remarkable mussels au gratin, really compliments
Excellent way to discover the Gothic Quarter. Allows you to grow while playing: perfect to interest the whole family! Very complete course and easy level, with a little e concentration and enthusiasm
The app is super fun with questions and puzzles that make us think and learn a lot about Barcelona. We really liked the app and the kids loved to play with the cell phone and learn about the city
Foi ótimo! Conheci Barcelona, factos sobre a cidade e ainda deu para nos divertirmos um bocadinho. Fui com amigos e todos gostamos da experiência. Recomendo!
Dynamic and educational puzzles, it was great for my children to have fun while we could enjoy Barcelona.
Having used in Valencia could not fail to use in Barcelona, once again fully meets expectations.
