Enjoy a privately half day guided tour of beautiful Barcelona, the city that has it all, from its unique architecture to its golden beaches and blue skies. On your private tour of the highlights of this coastal city, you’ll discover two iconic landmarks of Barcelona, La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell.
These beautiful places were designed by Barcelona’s most famous architect, Antonio Gaudi, and are now UNESCO World Heritage listed sites. With your expert private guide, you will firstly visit La Sagrada Familia – with priority access that allows you to skip the line. Enjoy an expert guided tour of this famously unfinished Catholic basilica dedicated to the Holy Family.
Begun in 1882, La Sagrada Familia is famous for its mix of styles from the neo-gothic to the eccentric style for which Gaudi is now synonymous. After admiring its three facades, depicting Jesus’s birth, his Passion and his Ascension, you’ll see its glorious interior, with the vast 18 towers – each symbolic of a Biblical theme, Gospel or figure, its beautiful stained glass windows, and Gaudi’s tomb.
After your tour of the Basilica, which remains unfinished to this very day, you and your guide will take a taxi up to Carmel Hill which overlooks the city, to visit the enchanting and rather magical Park Guell, also designed by Gaudi, who loved his creation so much he built himself a house to live there!
At Park Guell, you’ll also benefit from skip-the-line entry, to explore this magnificent park with 17 hectares of landscaped gardens, filled with a unique collection of eccentric and colourful sculptures, glittering mosaics, monuments and objets d’arts all inspired by animals and nature.
Walk up the famous Dragon Staircase in the middle of the park to the very top viewing platform where you can enjoy breathtakingly spectacular views across the city of Barcelona stretching out beneath you.
