Your Gaudí walking tour starts at the old village of Gràcia. There you will meet your English, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean-speaking guide before setting off to discover one of Barcelona’s best kept secrets until 2017: Casa Vicens. This was Gaudí’s first house as a young graduate, and was inspired by Oriental influences. The house, surrounded by luxurious gardens in the past, is now the ultimate hidden gem of the city. Out of the upper Barcelona neighborhood you’ll walk down Passeig de Gracia and arrive to Casa Milà where you can get ready to experience some deep immersion. Barcelonans hated it at the time that it was built, but these days "La Pedrera" is one of Barcelona’s must-see attractions. The house is like a fairy tale when you see it from outside, and even better when viewed from the interior. With a fast-track ticket included, you'll be able to skip the lines and explore the tenant's apartment, the inner courtyards and the rooftop. Casa Milà's rooftop is said to be the best terrace in Barcelona, not only because of its amazing views, but also because you'll be able to pose next to Gaudí's famous solider statues, one of the city icons. During the tour down Passeig de Gràcia you’ll discover some other amazing buildings from the same Modernista period before arriving at Casa Batlló, where you'll be able to appreciate the legendary facade and the dragon-like rooftop. This is probably the building where Gaudí let his imagination go completely, with many people saying it’s like being deep under the surface of the ocean. Your guide will lead you through the main vestibule and the noble floor before saying farewell.
Aan de ene kant leuk om in één ochtend drie villa’s te bezoeken. Aan de andere kant duurt het wel wat lang. Gids had wel een toegevoegde waarde, met name bij het eerste huis.
The tour was excellent. Our guide was able to provide great information on Gaudi that really gave insight into his creation.
jekaterina was extremely knowledgeable of all 3 houses and of the areas in Barcelona. she knew exactly where to take us in the houses that was most relevant. she gave us a lot of knowledge on gaudis background and the different families that owned the houses also which I thought was excellent.
