Opiniones de viajeros sobre nuestros tours y locales
"Had an excellent tour with Ellie- originally from the USA, she’s lived in Barcelona for 20 years and is truly a local, but without any language barriers! She was engaging, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The time flew by and only wished we had more time together! Her pace was perfect (we’re not fast walkers) and got us to our destinations perfectly on time. Would highly recommend this tour with her!"
"Maria Carmen led us through a fascinating day at the Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudi’s beautiful basilica that is still under construction. Maria gave us extensive background about Gaudi’s view of nature and faith which both played an essential part in his architectural approach. Through Maria’s wonderful guiding, we had a much better appreciation of how Gaudi created his masterpiece and why he chose specific elements to create a church of extraordinary beauty."
"Carla was an amazing guide with a wealth of knowledge on all things Gaudi. We took a leisurely walk through Park Guell avoiding crowds and then went to Sagrada Família. She provided us with inciteful information on each place. Very easy to understand her explanations. Highly recommend!"

Step into a real-life fairytale at Park Güell! This whimsical wonderland is one of Barcelona's treasures. Don't just see it, experience it! A private Park Güell tour with a local is your key to its magic.
Did you know Park Güell was originally intended as a luxury housing project for Barcelona's elite? Inspired by English garden cities, the project was a commercial failure, with only two houses ever built.
The master architect himself, Antoni Gaudí, lived in Park Güell for almost 20 years. Walk in the footsteps of a genius and feel the inspiration he drew from this magical place on a private Park Güell tour.
The vibrant, broken-tile mosaics seen throughout Park Güell are called 'trencadís'. This iconic technique of Catalan modernisme was perfected by Gaudí to cover curved surfaces with dazzling color and life.
Meet 'El Drac', the famous mosaic lizard at the park's entrance. This colorful salamander is one of Barcelona's most iconic symbols. A local guide can tell you the myths and legends behind this guardian.
After exploring the wonders of Park Güell, locals often head to the nearby Gràcia district for authentic tapas and a glass of vermouth. Ask your local guide for their favorite hidden spots to eat and drink!

"Getting a tour with Alan will be a great experience. He is knowledgeable, passionate about his city, and generally just fun to hang out with for an afternoon! We definitely thought it was worth the money."
"Carla was very knowledgeable regarding all things Gaudi, as well as the history of Spain. We learned a lot from her during the tour and had fun while learning. She took us to a cute local coffee shop between the two locations as well and gave us recommendations on where to eat close to our hotel. I would highly recommend having Carla as your guide. "
"Laura was an exceptional tour guide! I was travelling with my 80-year-old mother and her older sister. Laura planned and paced the day perfectly, managing everyone’s energy and abilities. She kept a keen eye to make sure that everyone was safe on stairs and cobblestone - a big help to me. Her knowledge of Gaudi’s masterpieces was incredible. She had so many stories and offerings at each one of the locations we visited. She offered us a full list of restaurants and attractions that we could visit on our own after the tour was over. Throughout the whole process, her communication was always clear and helpful. I highly recommend her for any tour in Barcelona. She’s a wealth of knowledge and simply delightful to work with. Laura, I can’t thank you enough for all of your kindness and expertise. I look forward to another tour with you sometime soon."
"As a native Barcelonin, Carla has a unique love & appreciation for what she shares in her tours. This was evident as we toured Park Güell & Sagrada Familia. These places are visual wonders on their own, but with Carla’s knowledge & passion they became sumptuous feasts! I highly recommend Carla!"
"We (4 adults) spent the morning with Ellie. She did an excellent job of explaining the history of Gaudi to us and showing us the many examples of his work. We also went to Park Guell. The best part was her knowledge of the exterior of the Sagurda Familia! She really made the entire project make sense to all of us. Would definitely use her again and highly recommend her."
"Ellie was amazing. Her English is perfect and she was very easy to understand. Her historical and local knowledge is vast and she was very attentive to all our questions and needs. Definitely will use her in the future "
"We greatly enjoyed the private tour of Gaudi in Barcelona. Ellie was extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to be around. She was well organized and the time flew by. I would definitely come back for another tour by her!"
Gaudí was deeply inspired by nature. The forest of columns in the Hypostyle Hall and the viaducts that mimic the landscape show his philosophy of creating architecture that harmonizes with the natural world.
