Get an introduction to the genius of one of the world's most famous architects on a 2.5-hour walking tour of Antoni Gaudí’s Barcelona. Meet your guide on Plaça Reial, near the Rambla boulevard, the site of one of Gaudí's first commissions. Stroll over to Palau Güell to admire the impressive façade of the mansion he built for the industrial tycoon, Eusebi Güell. Next, take a short Metro ride to Passeig de Gràcia, and explore the façades of his 2 best-known houses: Casa Batlló and Casa Milà/La Pedrera. See some of Gaudi’s typical motifs, such as organic, undulating building styles, the use of mosaic tiles, and twisting balconies of wrought iron. Continue by Metro to Sagrada Familia. Learn all the intricacies of Gaudí’s basilica, which commenced in 1882 and left unfinished at the time of his death in 1926. The iconic monument is a masterclass in Gaudi’s radical and innovative work.

5.00The tour was very informative in covering the timeline of Gaudi’s career from the lamp posts in Place Reial to Sagrada Família. Julie kept the tour at a good pace while covering the travel over the large distance involved. One can learn a lot about many of the details on the Sagrada Família Facades from her without purchasing the entrance ticket to the SAGRADA Familia.

5.00Diana was an outstanding guide for my wife and I. ~4hour walking tour of Gothic area and than short cab ride to Sagrada Família which is must go for everyone. Descriptions and pictures don’t do it justice.
Very satisfied, excellent guide.

5.00What is a good introduction to the monuments to visit them later with a magnificent context? With that information, one enjoys the city, the transportation, and everything in general.
Great tour!

5.00We did another tour of the gothic area with another company. This tour was so much better. You pay what you feel the tour was worth and it was EXTREMELY GOOD. I just came across this company through searching. Most other tour company's come up first but this was the best tour with an extremely knowledgeable, fun , friendly guide. We learnt so much and saw 'hidden' things that we otherwise would have missed. I wish we'd known about this company for our tours.
