Overview

This is an essential tour that combines the city main attraction and the history of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter in a half day.

The Sagrada Familia is one of Barcelona’s most iconic landmarks and one of the most impressive temples in the world. This majestic basilica was designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and has been under construction since 1882. Its unique design and architectural complexity make it a landmark of Catalan modernism and one of the city’s top tourist attractions.

Gaudí’s Unique Design, the Sagrada Familia combines elements of Gothic architecture with natural, organic forms, creating a structure that seems to emerge from nature itself. Gaudí used a variety of innovative techniques, such as geometric shapes and the integration of natural light into the design of the nave

Although the Sagrada Familia has been under construction for more than 140 years, the work continues to progress thanks to donations from its visitors.

The Sagrada Familia Church by Gaudi is one of the masterpieces you shouldn’t miss!

The demand to visit the monument makes it difficult to visit the church on your own. I offer you the opportunity to enjoy a private tour without lines, and all the explanations required to understand the most important Gaudi project.

We will meet at the Sagrada Familia and start with some exterior explanations, an opportunity to take some amazing pictures. Then we will enter the building to admire the amazing Gaudi works. You will learn about the past, present and future of the church. This is a unique private visit which includes all the secrets of Gaudi’s main monument in the city.

We will continue with a walking tour through the history of the 2000-year-old city, from roman origins to nowadays. Ruins, churches, palaces, markets and fairs, legends and saints living their daily life.

This is the easiest tour to feel like a local. You will find amazing corners and charming little squares that hide the secrets that stones contain. A comfortable walking tour to discover the origin of Barcelona.

  • The ancient walls
  • The quite squares like San Felip Neri
