Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona Spain
Passeig de Gracia
Stop At: Casa Batllo, Passeig de Gracia, 43, 08007 Barcelona Spain
The name Gaudí is almost synonymous Barcelona. The city’s favorite architect (and maybe its favorite son, if you don’t count the soccer players) has come to embody the style and joie de vivre of a city deeply rooted in its natural surroundings. This is Barcelona at its vibrant, playful best.
On this, the most complete tour available of Gaudí’s work, we visit three of his residential works, including one unknown to most visitors; skip long lines to wander beautiful Park Guell; and, of course, embark on a thorough exploration of Gaudí’s greatest work and final resting place, La Sagrada Família.
Your tour starts with first entrance to Casa Batlló, arguably Gaudí’s most impressive residential property (and certainly his most-visited). Entering ahead of the morning crowds, you’ll discover some of the genius solutions Gaudí employed to solve architectural problems throughout the house, dispersing light and air throughout its many levels. A sure highlight is the roof, designed to resemble the scales of a dragon – the great emblem of Barcelona.

Pass By: Casa Amatller, Passeig de Gracia, 41, 08007 Barcelona Spain
From the outside
Pass By: Casa Mila - La Pedrera, Passeig de Gracia, 92, 08008 Barcelona Spain
The best thing about Gaudí was that his work was constantly changing and adapting to the styles and materials of the time. You’ll see this clearly with our next two visits, to his other residential properties. First is a guided tour of the outside of Casa Mila, known locally as La Pedrera, or The Stone Quarry. You’ll see why as you stand and gaze at this imposing block. On first glance, it can seem a little drab but once you learn how its face was assembled and then carefully carved, inch by inch, we bet you’ll feel differently.
Pass By: Casa Lleo i Morera, Passeig de Gracia, 35, 08007 Barcelona Spain
from the outside
Stop At: Parc Guell, Carrer d'Olot, 5, 08024 Barcelona Spain
Somewhere in the middle is Park Guell. Part fanciful explosion of color, part thoughtful study of organic forms, it is a perfect reflection of the natural world. Not least because it’s all incredibly functional, with a secret drainage system, visual illusions and stone benches designed for perfect ergonomics. Don’t forget to bring a camera, the park is home to the best viewpoint in Barcelona. 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.
Duration: 40 minutes
Pass By: Casa Vicens, Carrer de les Carolines, 20-26, 08012 Barcelona Spain
The facade of Casa Vincens is a totally different experience. One of Gaudí’s earliest works, it is colourful and flamboyant in the over-the-top manner of an architect still developing his own style and vernacular.
Stop At: Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, Carrer de Mallorca, 401, 08013 Barcelona Spain
Your tour ends, as Gaudí himself did – in the La Sagrada Família. In the final years of the architect’s life he abandoned all other projects, and much of his life in general, to work on this magnificent and completely unique church. He even went door to door collecting donations and moved into its basement so he could work around the clock. It’s an incredible representation of everything that made him such a unique talent – so much detail and symbolism, blending the natural and human world together in a riot of colors, shapes and characters.
It can be hard to know where to look on your first visit to La Sagrada Família, so it’s lucky you have a Gaudí expert on hand to guide your experience. You’ll spend a full hour exploring the church itself, from its detailed façade to the stained glass windows inside.
Your tour also includes pre-reserved access to ascend one of the church towers, for incredible views over Barcelona and beyond.
Due to the popularity of Gaudí and his works, we’ll find long lines outside all three of the sites we enter (Casa Batlló, Park Guell & La Sagrada Família), but with pre-reserved entrance to each, we’ll sail straight inside. With small groups of 15 people or fewer and headsets for every guest, you’ll find it easy to hear and interact with your guide. Meanwhile our private transport between sites means you’ll cover more ground than would be possible even in a whole day on your own.
Give Gaudí the time he deserves on this complete tour of his finest works.

Got in Casa Batllo the first group of the day avoiding the waiting and had a chance to take some amazing picture without crowd. All other site visits were well arranged with no time to be wasted. A bit of the walk for my parents but it's totally worth. Wish we can have 15mins more at each site for a more relaxed journey.
Excellent info, very accommodating for my handicapped wife and our late cruise ship arrival. Couldn't ask for more.
Very knowledgeable tour guide, very well paced throughout the tour, ear equipment functioned flawlessly. All around a great way to see Gaudís work!
Our tour guide was Marta with "Take Walks" and she was amazing. Not only did she share the story of Gaudi but she also gave context to what else was happening in that time period to help paint a rich picture. I really appreciated her easy-going-nature and ability to anticipate questions and cover them before needing to be asked. My group very much enjoyed the sites we visited and it was well worth the money. Thank you,
Our tour of Gaudi’s work and Barcelona was fabulous, even in the pouring rain (rare but it happened!) the tour was still to expectation. Our guide from Walks Barcelona , Javier (pronounced Chavi) was amazing. Very informative , kind and warm with a beautiful energy and very caring constantly checking in on us. Gaudi’s work is bizzare yet genius. Highly recommended to go into the mind of one great architect / artist. Many thanks !
This was a great tour. I would highly recommend it. Tour guide was great. It was very complete and educational.
Our tour guide Naomi was the best tour guide we have ever had! She was knowledgeable, kind, and a total joy to be around. We learned so much on this tour about Gaudi, Barcelona, and more. This tour was a delight!!
I think our tour guide, Mar, had the tour memorized and had difficulty going off script. The information provided was very superficial. If you are not familiar with Gaudi and his work than this is probably a good introduction. If you have already taken Guadi 101 and ready for an advanced class, than this tour is not for you. This tour is very superficial and there are many stories about Gaudi, his work, his techniques, his set backs, strengths and weaknesses that could have been touched upon but weren't. Very disappointing. On the plus side, very efficient way to see 5 Gaudi locaitons in one day.
You have to do Gaudi, right? Casa Batllo is really neat and you really need a jump the line admittance it is jammed .La Pedrera is fascinating but this tour does not go inside, and if you don't go in there on your own or in a separate tour you are going to miss something special. There was a stop to see the exterior of another Gaudi designed house that while interesting resulted in being engulfed in city traffic on one way streets. That combined with a delayed start in the van from La Pedrera ate into our schedule.. These factors made the visit to Park Guell rushed. It is a unique place that deserved more time than we had because the admittance time for Sagrada Familia was set. It is truly an astonishing building. You simply have to visit it. The ride to the top of the spire and very, very long spiral steps down took a fair amount of time and really added little to the overall experience. Folks with acrophobia probably should not attempt because the steps will be intimidating. Our guide was knowledgeable and had good language skills. Overall informative and enjoyable but felt rushed some of the time.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the elevator in Sagrada Familia was broken so we couldn't go up to the top. Very disappointing.
Viator is THE way to see Gaudi in Barcelona. Our guide was fabulous and I would recommend spending as long a time on a tour with Viator to see the most.
Great tour. Learned a lot about Gaudì and his work and felt Teresa was very aware of us and very knowledgeable as well as kind, patient, cheerful and relaxed. Great day. Loved how there was some walking g but the bus took us to the top entrance of Park Guell. Thank you!
The tour guide is fabulous. We had an almost private tour with a brilliant tour guide on April 10. She showed us everything and was also an expert on art history. Thank you!!
Dan from Walks was amazing! His knowledge truly made the tour an unforgettable experience. We did not wait in any lines, allowing us to see an all the highlights of Gaudi in an efficient manner. We looked at many tours before booking this one and found it to be the most comprehensive. Our expectations were 100 exceeded.
