Just the BEST - This is one of the best things we did in Barcelona! Pia, our guide , was deeply knowledgeable about the city, its history, and its architecture. She spent extra time with us and we had lively conversations. I give this tour the highest recommendation for those who want to develop a broader understanding of the unique built environment in Barcelona.

Highly recommended - A fantastic experience! Even being from Barcelona, I have learned many curiosities about Gaudí’s life and work, his work processes, his methods... as well as the city itself that I was completely unaware of. The tour is very beautiful, coming to visit corners that are part of the local life and history of the neighborhood but are unknown by most tourists. I highly recommend the experience if you want to have a more authentic and personal experience.

Absolutely Outstanding Tour of Gaudi’s work, Modernisme, & Barcelona’s urban Evolution. A Highlight Experience! - My husband and I joined another couple on an amazing walking architecture tour with Pia- a professor, architect, and terrific guide. She explained so many aspects of the buildings we were exploring- the history, cultural context; the building materials and techniques. She had charts, maps, and sketches to explain Gaudi’s incredible genius as well as historical structural traditions and challenges . My husband is an architect and retired college professor who was very impressed by Pia’s knowledge as well as experience in Barcelona’s rejuvenation. I really was excited by the incredible breadth of cultural forces she described as they affected Gaudi’s Modernisme period and current urban planning. We had a great tour, time for a coffee stop and discussion, a brisk walk , and plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion. This was a highlight tour for our exploration of Barcelona.
