Park Guell: Guided tour in English

The tour guide Steven was wonderful. Lots of information and he made it very interesting. The Skip-the-Line entrance was very convenient. The only negative was that we weren't sure when or where we would see the tour guide and we weren't sure if we were at the right entrance and had to ask around about all of this. One piece of advice when locating the tour guide- be sure to look for a blue sign with the Gold Tours logo on it rather than a gold colored sign that I thought the directions were telling me to look for.

Tina was such an amazing guide. She gave really insightful history, stories, explanation about the Park, Gaudi and mad details in his work. Definitely recommend this tour, it helps so much to understand the history of Park Guell, instead of blindly roaming around the park by yourself.

The park is amazing and definitely worth visiting. I am giving the stars for the park. Our guide was just ok. After our tour was over and we were wandering around we were able to overhear other tour guides who gave far more information about things pertaining to the park than ours did. We got the basics. We have had better. He did however meet us at the designated spot on time and he was relatively easy to understand. In future I would book a tour/guide directly with the place you are visiting. We have had better guides that way. This was our first time booking with an outside company.

Knowledgeable guide who was willing to allow late comers (not me) to catch up once tour started by responding to messages. I say this because one of our tours left prior to the start time and did not respond to messages from myself. The only drawback was that it was difficult to hear the guide due to number in group and other tourists at this outdoor location. I’d suggest the use of headsets.

Overall the park was beautiful (even on a cold January day), and we had a great time walking around the space, exploring the Gaudi designed flow and architecture. The play with natural shapes amongst the columns and structures, the way he played with lines and depth, and the overall expanse of the park were captivating and beautiful. I did feel that I didn't learn as much from out guide as I thought I was going to. Throughout the tour he kept his statements and explanations rather short, and when he asked if we had questions, I didn't know what to ask because I feel like I hadn't been led in the right direction to ask the right questions. He was knowledgeable and had lots of fun tidbits to share, but overall it was a semi-sleepy explanation of the space and I feel like I only got 85% of what I wanted.

Our tour guide (Alex) was fantastic. He was easy to understand and kept us interested. The meeting point was easy to find and we were able to see all the points of interests. We were able to explore after our tour which was nice. The park is worth it to see and to have a guide gets you in without waiting in long lines. I highly recommend this tour.
