Highlights
- Casa Amatller - Meet your guide and small group of travelers on the lively Passeig de Gracia outside Casa Amatller, an excellent example of Catalan modernism and a great introduction to the day’s venture into modernist architecture pioneered by Antoni Gaudí.
- Casa Batllo - Your morning starts at Casa Batlló. Those joining the morning tour will enter before the crowds and go straight to the most iconic rooms. In the peace and quiet of the first entry slot of the day, your guide will show you the tiny details that make this house so fascinating; from breathing
- Casa Mila - La Pedrera - Then it’s on to Casa Milà, where you’ll learn how this austere building came by the nickname “Stone Quarry.”
- Casa Vicens - Meet your private transfer and stop by the first major work Gaudí ever designed, a rarely visited gem. Those on the afternoon tour will enter Casa Vicens for a 45 minute guided visit.
- Parc Guell - From there, it’s off to Park Guell. Part fanciful explosion of color, part thoughtful study of organic forms, it is a perfect reflection of the natural world. Since this became a ticketed site a few years ago, entrance lines have become extremely long – so it’s a good thing you have skip-the-line access.
- Barri de Gracia - Board a private, air-conditioned minibus for a brief transfer between Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia.
- L’Eixample District - Enjoy a short break to grab a coffee or snack. Although this is not included in the tour, your guide will give you recommendations on where to go.
- Basilica de la Sagrada Familia - Finally, you’ll end at Gaudí’s most iconic work: the one and only Sagrada Família. You’ll spend a full hour exploring the church itself, then, unlike most tours, you will go down into the museum to see some of the architect’s drawings, models, and calculations, plus a clear view of his tomb.

A Great Experience - Xavier , our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and he had so many interesting stories. Even though each place was crowded he made sure we had access to all areas and time for breaks. It was a well thought out tour and we so enjoyed. You can tell Xavier is passionate about sharing these experiences

Great Experience - We got the entire Gaudi Experience!!
Guide was excellent. Tour was well planned to make the most of our time. Ending the tour at the Church was perfect as we were able to linger and retrace areas we wanted to spend more time.

Informative and entertaining - Our guide, Gloria, was fantastic with architectural history and pointed out fascinating elements of each area we visited. She took the time to learn the names of everyone on the tour. Her enthusiasm and high energy was contagious during the entire 5 hour journey across Barcelona and Gaudi’s and Guell’s history.

Totally worth it - Gloria was amazing. We were first hesitant about the long walking tour but all the information she had kept us excited and interested in the tour. She knew so much and answered everyone’s questions. We had free time to go around each place on our own as well. We would recommend this to all our friends and family!

Lack of notice of possible delay in getting to tour - Not being able to meet the tour in time. Barcelona had a lead up to a major event happening which as a tourist I was not aware and despite leaving more than sufficient time to meet the tour traffic prevented this happening. Some notice should have been given so that tour members were aware of the difficulties. Unhappy customer (particularly given the cost of the tour was lost)
