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.
Best part of the tour was our guide Steven. He was a wealth of knowledge, enjoyable to listen to and on of the best tour guide I have experienced. The park came to life through his words. Loved it
Marina ha sido una excelente guía. Muy atenta con todo el grupo, muy agradable e intentando todo el rato que fuera interesante para todos. Un 10
Please write in BOLD how we need to arrive at the meeting station and NOT the park in general. It was my fault for missing that, and we ended up on the wrong side of the park and had to walk uphill around the whole park.
Philippe was a fabulous guide for our 9:30am tour of Park Guell. I like how he started us at the top and worked our way down. He have good “insider” tips on best photo angles, what was worth the extra charges or waits in line and what was not. He was exceptional at engaging the young children on the tour while still giving great insights into Gaudi, the construction and history of the park. At times, he was almost poetic and lyrical as he talked about the themes of redemption and closeness to God in Gaudi’s designs. He really made the Park come alive
Nous avons aimé la visite en français faite par la guide.
Guia muito atenciosa, explicativa. Adorei.
It was fantastic! Our guide, Rodriguez (I may have forgotten his full name), was outstanding. He explained everything clearly, answered all our questions with enthusiasm, and made the experience truly memorable. Highly recommended!
