These two sites in Barcelona are amazing and seeing them in a small group (only 7 in ours) made a huge difference. It was a very personal tour with a fantastic guide (Jordi or George (in America). He explained so much and included stories that brought the experience of the creation/building to life. He helped (with things like stairs and getting the best photo from certain sites). Plus, he knew a great deal of history and was obviously deeply appreciative of Gaudi's works. He was the best guide!

Every objective I see was beautiful,extraordinary arhitecture,nice people who work there,theweather was little cold,,,,its better to visit Barcelona in summer when is hot outside.The Barcelona stadium is huge,breathtaking,,I recomand sincerly to visit the city,,,

It was great. I am glad that there was no standing room. Once I payed, you mentioned that some may be standing and this would not be appropriate as I did not see this information when I registered….

Excellent tour by an informed guide who was very familiar with the area, the history, and the people around Montserrat. He's a safe driver too. :)

Excellent tour with Paulina. We missed our tour because our flight was Delayed and they were kind enough to rebook us on a different day.
