Small Group Tours in Barcelona

I enjoyed learning about the progression of Piscasso’s work and how his personal circumstances influenced the way he designed his artwork. The tour was a great highlight of the major aspects of the museum although it was a bit hard to hear at times due to the other tours happening at the same time. Our guide, Olga, did her best and I did appreciate that our tour group was slit into two to reduce the overall size of the group.

Firstly - what a building! Everyone should visit this place and have a decent guided tour. There is so much to learn about the outside, inside and future plans. Don’t just ride past on a bus tour - you are missing out! I’m sorry I forgot our Guide’s name, but he was just amazing. He had so much passion for the Sagrada Família and about Gaudi, and was bursting with fascinating information, and he brought the place alive. It really was awesome and I also found it very spiritual and moving. Than...

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 ...

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and talked us through the history and background to the paintings. She certainly enlightened us all about Picaso's development as a painter and his going through different stages of his artistic and personal career. Thank you Valentina.

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.

Olga was our tour guide. We have traveled all over the world and we believe we are very experienced travelers, and simply put Olga was the best guide we have ever had. She is very intelligent, well educated but also so personable and funny. We learned so much about Picasso and feel we understand him and his art so much better and with a very different perspective. We could not recommend her more highly. If you can select her do it, you will be thrilled!

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 ...

This was easily the climatic experience for me in Barcelona. La Sagrada Familia is itself a transcendent spiritual experience, with an architectural magnum opus that is as much gospel as it is poetry and geometry in still motion. However, having a guide like Juan Miguel lead this tour and experience was what really set this excursion to music. He effused a passion in his narration that was part reverence for the architect, Gaudí and the magnificent edifice, and part awe for the Majesty to who...
