Tour Highlights

Important Info

• Once we confirm availability for the Gaudí private tour, we will send an invoice for the payment to your email address through our bank’s online secure payment system.
• Price does not include the entrance fees to the monuments, transportation (taxi or public transport), food or drinks and the guide’s food (if lunchtime is added).
• Tickets for the Gaudí sites must be pre-booked and paid in advance (this will be invoiced to you together with the tour’s payment). Please read our cancellation policy for the tour and tickets.
• You will skip the line at the monuments with our licensed guide.
• We can visit the interior of Casa Batlló instead of Casa Milà, although we recommend Casa Milà as it is a much better experience (less crowded and you can see how a family lived at the time).

FAQs

Is the price of the Gaudí private tour per group or per person?

All our private tours are priced per group, not per person. The only price difference will be on the number of tickets to the sites.

Will there be other people joining the tour?

No. This is a private tour, only for your group. You can ask your guide as many questions as you'd like, and go at the pace that suits you best.

What is the difference between the Gaudí Private Tour and the Gaudí Free Tour?

The Gaudí Free Tour is a short 2.5-hour introduction to the life and work of Gaudí. This is a scheduled group tour, and we don't visit the interior of the buildings.
If you prefer a more complete experience, the Gaudí Private Tour includes a visit to the interior of some of the buildings with your guide, and it is customised just for you.

Can the private Gaudí tour be customized?

Yes, of course. All our private tours can be customised to your interests. If you prefer to add more sites or visit different parts of the city, please let us know, so we can accommodate your request.

Will the guide accompany us inside the monuments?

Yes. All our guides are official licensed tour guides and will be able to accompany you and explain inside the monuments that we visit.

Do we skip the lines at the Gaudí sites?

Don't worry, all tickets for tour companies with licensed guides are skip the line.

Which Gaudí house is better to visit: Casa Batlló or Casa Milà?

We recommend Casa Milà, as we feel it is a better experience than Casa Batlló overall. It feels less crowded, and you can also see how a family lived at the time, as it is furnished. Casa Milà is also a lot more interesting from an architectural point of view.
However, if you are traveling with children, we do recommend Casa Batlló instead. Kids tend to enjoy it more, and there is also an interactive tablet available for them if the parents prefer that option.
If in doubt, you can check our article comparing both houses: Casa Batlló vs Casa Milà

Can I see the interior of Casa Batlló instead of the interior of Casa Milà?

Of course you can. All our private tours are fully customisable. You can also extend the tour to add other Gaudí sites, like Park Güell, to have lunch with your guide, or to visit other sites in Barcelona.

Does the tour include a visit to the towers at Sagrada Familia?

The standard tour doesn't include the towers at Sagrada Familia. You can request to extend the tour for an extra 30 minutes, so we can include them.
Please bear in kind that towers usually need to be booked months in advance, as availability is very limited, so tower tickets are subject to availability.
The towers are not recommended for people with mobility issues, vertigo or claustrophobia. A lift brings you most of the way up, and the only way down is a narrow spiral staircase.
Children 6 and under are not allowed to go up the towers for safety reasons.
Private tour groups are only allowed to go up the Passion façade towers.

Is there a dress code at Sagrada Familia?

Sagrada Familia is fairly relaxed about the dress code. However, if you wear belly tops and very short shorts, they won't allow you to enter the basilica.
Sun hats are very handy outside on sunny days (most days in Barcelona ;-), but you will not be allowed to wear them inside the church.

Where do we meet? Do you offer hotel pickup?

Depending on the location of your accommodation, we can pick you up there, or set up a convenient meeting point at the first site we visit. This makes the best use of your touring time.
On chauffeured tours, hotel pick-up and drop-off is always included.

How do we get around during the Gaudí tour?

On the regular Gaudí Tour described above, we use taxis or the metro to cover the distances between the monuments.
If you prefer to book a chauffeured tour with a mini-van or bus, and a separate guide and chauffeur, this is also possible.

Is the tour suitable for children?

Of course. We take great care to always pair families with kids with a family-friendly guide.
For younger children with less stamina, we recommend a tour no longer than 4 hours. An ice-cream or snack break can also be included in the time frame to keep everyone happy ;-)

Can you accommodate large groups?

Of course. All our private tours are catered for individuals, couples, families, groups of friends, corporate groups or very large groups. Just let us know what you need and we will make your Barcelona visit memorable.

Do we stop for lunch?

On the standard 4-hour Gaudí tour, we don't stop for lunch. If you prefer, you can add an extra hour to have lunch with your guide at a local restaurant. The guide will be there to help you with any questions you might have about food and Barcelona in general.

Is the tour wheelchair accessible or suitable for people with mobility issues?

Most areas of the Gaudí sites are wheelchair accessible. However, in some buildings, stairs are unavoidable to reach certain areas, and when a lift is available, it can take longer to access.
Please, check with us beforehand if you are a wheelchair user or have some mobillity issues, so we can advise.

What happens if it rains?

Don't worry, our tours run in all kinds of weather. In the case of heavy rain the tour will run as usual so please bring suitable rain gear.
Please note that the roof terrace at Casa Milà and the towers at Sagrada Familia might close if it's raining.

How far in advance should I book?

We are a small local company with a handful of guides. In busy periods, we do sell out, so it is recommended to book as early as you can.
