Description

Discover Gaudí’s most iconic works in a seamless private experience designed for travelers who want a personal experience and an expert guide focused only on you. Begin at Casa Batlló, where pre-reserved entry allows you to step inside Gaudí’s most famous home he designed. Continue to Park Güell and enjoy skip-the-line access to explore its vibrant mosaics, winding pathways, and panoramic viewpoints of Barcelona. A private vehicle transfer then brings you directly to Sagrada Família, reducing travel stress and making the day easier for families or groups. Throughout the tour, learn about Gaudí himself and what inspired him.

Your private Gaudí experience begins inside Casa Batlló, considered his most stunning residential work. Pre-reserved entry allows you to go straight to the house’s most famous rooms without wasting any time in line. Your guide will highlight the details you might miss on your own that made the house revolutionary, including ventilation “gills,” energy-efficient light wells, and the strategic use of tile color to manage brightness. Finishing on the rooftop, you'll soak in your first panoramic view of Barcelona of the day. Just a short walk away is Casa Milà, another Gaudí house. From the outside, learn why this austere stone building earned the nickname Stone Quarry.

Your private tour continues to Park Güell, and you'll travel by private car for maximum comfort. Here, skip-the-line access saves significant time at one of Barcelona’s busiest sites. Once inside, you'll learn how Gaudí tested ideas about organic forms, urban planning, and the integration of architecture into a natural landscape. It also offers an essential look at how Gaudí experimented with forms later used in Sagrada Família.

After taking in the panoramic views at Park Güell, you'll meet your private driver for a short transfer to Sagrada Família. If time allows, pause for a quick snack or coffee break on your own before your guided tour of Spain's most visited site: the Sagrada Família. Inside the basilica, spend a full hour with your personal expert guide examining how Gaudí applied decades of experimentation to his final project. Your visit then continues into the museum, where original drawings, scale models, and construction calculations provide insight into Gaudí’s process, along with a view of his tomb. By the end of the tour, you'll have a deeper appreciation of Gaudí’s genius and have explored his most important sites in a relaxing half day of sightseeing with your own personal guide.

FAQ

Can I bring a bag with me into the Sagrada Familia?

Yes, but you can only bring small bags and backpacks. They will be checked before you enter the church. If you are going to climb the towers you have to leave backpacks in security lockers located at the base of the towers and costing €1.00.

What should I wear in the Sagrada Familia and other religious sites?

Both men and women are asked to wear clothing that covers at least the shoulders and knees. It is sufficient to bring extra coverings (e.g., a scarf) with you, and to put them on before entering to the holy sites.
