Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Casa Amatller, Passeig de Gracia, 41, 08007 Barcelona Spain
Meet your guide and small group of travelers on the lively Passeig de Gracia outside Casa Amatller, an excellent example of Catalan modernism and a great introduction to the day's venture into modernist architecture pioneered by Antoni Gaudí.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Casa Batllo, Passeig de Gracia, 43, 08007 Barcelona Spain
Your morning starts at Casa Batlló. Those joining the morning tour will enter and go straight to the most iconic rooms. Your guide will show you the tiny details that make this house so fascinating; from breathing ‘gills’ to the clever play of light in the building’s tiles. As Casa Batlló is overwhelmed with crowds by the time the afternoon starts, those on the afternoon tour will stop outside for commentary from their guide and will visit another equally interesting Gaudí house later in the tour.
The visit to Casa Batlo is included only if you chose the AM tour option at the time of booking.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Casa Mila - La Pedrera, Passeig de Gracia, 92, 08008 Barcelona Spain
Then it’s on to Casa Milà, where you’ll learn how this austere building came by the nickname “Stone Quarry.” This is visited from outside.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Casa Vicens Gaudi, Carrer de les Carolines, 20-26, 08012 Barcelona Spain
If time allows, the morning tour will pass by the colorful Casa Vicens. Then meet your private transfer and stop by the first major work Gaudí ever designed, a rarely visited gem. Those on the afternoon tour will enter Casa Vicens for a 45-minute guided visit.
The visit to Casa Vicens is included only if you chose the PM tour option at the time of booking.
Stop At: Parc Guell, Carrer d'Olot, 5, 08024 Barcelona Spain
From there, it’s off to Park Guell. Part fanciful explosion of color, part thoughtful study of organic forms, it is a perfect reflection of the natural world. Since this became a ticketed site a few years ago, entrance lines have become extremely long – so it’s a good thing you have skip-the-line access.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Barri de Gracia Gracia, Barcelona Spain
Board a private, air-conditioned minibus for a brief transfer between Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: L'Eixample District, La Exaimple -- Center City, 08011 Barcelona Spain
Enjoy a short break to grab a coffee or snack. Although this is not included in the tour, your guide will give you recommendations on where to go.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, Carrer de Mallorca, 401, 08013 Barcelona Spain
Finally, you’ll end at Gaudí’s most iconic work: the one and only Sagrada Família. You’ll spend a full hour exploring the church itself, then, unlike most tours, you will go down into the museum to see some of the architect's drawings, models, and calculations, plus a clear view of his tomb.
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes

Can't comment on the tour as we were two minutes late due to our taxi being delayed by roadworks and the tour operator was nowhere to be seen on arrival. The tour operator had not provided any contact details or any communication with me at all, so I immediately tried to get contact details from Viator. After all it was a 5.5 hrs tour costing £296 and I was just a few minutes behind. The numbers provided didn't work and later Viator tried to contact them, also unsuccessfully.
Contacting the tour operator via the Viator app appears useless as the tour operator doesn't monitor it or respond for many hours or days. They have confirmed however that tour leaders are not contactable once a tour has started (or in fact beforehand as no contact details are provided). This is customer service and treatment out of the stone age. Totally ruined our holiday as this was our last day and we ended up not seeing the top attractions.
The 3 other tours booked through Viator were excellent. All these operators contacted me before the tour and showed an understanding of customer service and care.
There are lots of other tours that cover much the same destinations and I suggest that these are safer options

While I am not a person who normally take the time to write a bad review, I could not overlook sharing my experience with others. First, I will own up to planning my trip late and there were only two options to see these sites. This one received great reviews and me and my friend booked it, paying well above the "prices starting" at price.
We showed up for the tour and were quickly handed a listening device and an earbud that could not have cost over $.05. Keep in mind, nowhere in the listing did it mention that this is the way the tour would be delivered. In the first 15 minutes, the ear piece would not stay in my ear even though I tried other angles and both ears. My ear actually hurt from the thing and I removed it. Keep in mind this is a 5 hour tour. I put the device in my bag and went through our fist stop. When we finished, the guide asked me where my device was. I explained the situation, she took the device and asked me if I had brought my own earbuds. A bit put off by this question I told her if I had know that this expensive tour needed earbuds, I would have brought my own. She shrugged and walked away. For the rest of the day she showed little concern that I did not hear anything she had to say. She did not make an effort to make anything better, acknowledge my situation or try to stand close to me when she delivered her messaging. My friend was also not satisfied with the audio, but could still use it. Since we wanted to see the sites and there would be no other way to do it, we stuck it out.
All I can say to people, if you are compelled to book this, is come with your own plug in earbuds and not a high expectation. This is a long trip and I spent a lot of money and walked away knowing nothing about any of the sites I paid to see. Disappointing is an understatement.

Stephen was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide who really brought Gaudi into perspective. We appreciated the ease with which we entered all three sites. This is a great way to learn about Gaudi and his genius. Highly recommend.

This was an excellent tour with Stephen. He was very informative and excited about his subject. Seeing so much if Gaudi in one tour gave us a much deeper understanding of his work. Highly recommend this tour

We took this tour with Miguell and he has now taken the mantle of “ our best ever” with this immersive Gaudi tour. The knowledge and passion Miguell showed was first rate. His delivery and understanding of the different needs of the group should be the model for all guides. We came away with a far deeper understanding of the arcitect but done by highlighting rather than bombarding with too many facts. Well done. A special shout out to the lady from Walks who took my distressed call when our tour was cancelled 3 days out due to a mistake with a expired credit card. She calmly and expertly got us back on. She was a life saver as it would have been a tragedy if we had missed this tour.
