Complete Gaudi Tour: Casa Batllo, Park Guell & Sagrada Familia
What to expect
Casa Amatller
Meet your guide and small group of travelers on the lively Passeig de Gracia outside Casa Amatller, an excellent example of Catalan modernism and a great introduction to the day's venture into modernist architecture pioneered by Antoni Gaudí.
Casa Batllo
Your morning starts at Casa Batlló. Those joining the morning tour will enter and go straight to the most iconic rooms. Your guide will show you the tiny details that make this house so fascinating; from breathing ‘gills’ to the clever play of light in the building’s tiles. As Casa Batlló is overwhelmed with crowds by the time the afternoon starts, those on the afternoon tour will stop outside for commentary from their guide and will visit another equally interesting Gaudí house later in the tour.
The visit to Casa Batlo is included only if you chose the AM tour option at the time of booking.
Casa Mila — La Pedrera
Then it’s on to Casa Milà, where you’ll learn how this austere building came by the nickname “Stone Quarry.” This is visited from outside.
Casa Vicens Gaudi (Pass By)
If time allows, the morning tour will pass by the colorful Casa Vicens. Then meet your private transfer and stop by the first major work Gaudí ever designed, a rarely visited gem. Those on the afternoon tour will enter Casa Vicens for a 45-minute guided visit.
The visit to Casa Vicens is included only if you chose the PM tour option at the time of booking.
Park Guell
From there, it’s off to Park Guell. Part fanciful explosion of color, part thoughtful study of organic forms, it is a perfect reflection of the natural world. 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.
Barri de Gracia
Board a private, air-conditioned minibus for a brief transfer between Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia.
L'Eixample District
Enjoy a short break to grab a coffee or snack. Although this is not included in the tour, your guide will give you recommendations on where to go.
Basilica de la Sagrada Familia
Finally, you’ll end at Gaudí’s most iconic work: the one and only Sagrada Família. You’ll spend a full hour exploring the church itself, then, unlike most tours, you will go down into the museum to see some of the architect's drawings, models, and calculations, plus a clear view of his tomb.
