Visit the garden complex of Park Guell on Carmel Hill on a walking tour with an expert guide and skip-the-line tickets for priority entrance. Learn about one of Antoni Gaud's most enduring works and take a stroll through the art of a century. Begin your journey to Carmel Hill to see the public park designed by Gaudi over a century ago. Spot Gaudi's distinctive style in the colorful mosaic tiles of the lizard statue ("El Drac") at the entrance. Trace the park's beginnings back to 1900 when Barcelona was transforming into a global metropolis. Hear about engineer Ildefons Cerdà, who examined the difficulties faced by a rising city and handled the demands of Barcelona as it grew rapidly in the second part of the 20th century. Allow your guide to demonstrate how the park's principal architectural features are inspired by Art Nouveau. Learn how historical construction techniques influenced the Modernisme movement in Barcelona as you marvel at the park's sculptures and designs. End your tour on a high note by walking through the park and up the hill to get treated to awe-inspiring views of the city of Barcelona below from the Nature Square.
Very good tour
Tour guide was very good. It was difficult finding the meeting place was difficult. The person holding the umbrella had the logo facing away from the entrance.
Ci aspettavamo un tour con una persona che parlasse italiano, daltronde se uno prende una guida in italiano cosa altro deve aspettarsi? Invece no, la guida è stata anche molto carina, gentile ed ha fatto il suo meglio per farsi capire. Su ungruppo di 20 persone non credo che ci sia stato qualcuno soddisfatto al 100%. Servizio da migliorare.
Park Guell was interesting and a very cool place to visit, but the added cost for the tour was definitely not worth it. The tour guide gave very basic information, noting special or more than you could read on Wikipedia. When I take a guided tour I expect more detail and unusual stories that I cam’t easily find. Our guide, Carol, was “all business” and gave a very standard basic tour. She was professional, but I prefer more engaging guides when I take tours. I would only recommend this particular tour if there are not any other tour s available or a basic entry ticket.
