Get an introduction to the genius of one of the world's most famous architects on a 2.5-hour free 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.

We did this tour today with Albert and thoroughly enjoyed it! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about Gaudi and history. We learned so much and are looking forward even more to viewing the inside of La Sagrada Familia tomorrow. You pay whatever you think the tour is worth, which is plenty in our opinion!! Definitely don’t miss this one.

Katherine was a friendly and knowledgeable giude. Arranging it early in your first visit to Barcelona gives you a helpful introduction to the metro system too. As described, Park Güell is not on the tour but at least mentioned briefly given its popularity with tourists.

We attended the Gaudi and Sagrada Familia tour with Ram during our stay and had a wonderful time. He made an effort to make everyone feel comfortable and answered any questions we had. His explanations about Gaudi, his life and architecture was structured, and communicated in an accessible and engaging manner. It was evident that Ram takes a keen interest in this topic which made the tour all the more enjoyable. We are so glad to have attended our tour with Ram, and could not have wished for more.

We took the Gaudi tour and were extremely happy with the content, the guide and the Gaudi locations that we visited. The tour involved taking the metro twice and our guide, assisted with tickets etc in a very professional and efficient manner. She was informative, enthusiastic and provided good insights in Gaudi himself, his work and the context and circumstances onwhich the works were commissioned. I apologise as I am unable to provide our guide's name, but she was a young French woman.
I would recommend joining this tour.

Our family of 4 (with 2 teens) had such an amazing time with Jarrod on both the Gaudi tour and the previous day’s Gothic Quarter Tour. We appreciated the way he shared the rich history and unique aspects of the architecture, peppered with so many interesting stories. Jarrod was engaging with a touch of humour that made it memorable for us. Well paced tour too. Highly recommended!
