Meet your guide near Park Güell
Your exploration of Gaudí's most impressive works begins just outside Park Güell, where your expert guide and small group gather. Once everyone arrives, you'll receive skip-the-line tickets and head straight into the whimsical park. -
2
Explore Park Güell's mosaics and architecture
Follow your guide through this hillside wonderland while learning how Gaudí blended nature and architecture into something truly unique. Colorful mosaic benches curve along terraces, stone columns rise like tree trunks, and the famous lizard fountain guards the entrance stairway. -

5
Learn about Sagrada Familia's exterior
Before entering, take a moment to study the basilica's towering spires and intricate facades. Your guide explains the symbolism carved into the Nativity Facade, where stone figures tell the story of Christ's birth, and points out the dramatic contrast with the Passion Facade on the opposite side. -
6
Skip the line to Sagrada Familia's interior
Step inside to discover a forest of columns branching toward the ceiling like giant trees. Sunlight filters through massive stained-glass windows, casting jewel-toned light across the white stone. As you walk through the nave, your guide reveals how Gaudí drew inspiration from nature to create this sacred space and why finishing his vision remains a global effort. -

Your tour finishes at the Sagrada Familia
The tour concludes inside the basilica, where you're welcome to stay and explore at your own pace. Ask your guide for recommendations on nearby spots for lunch or other Gaudí sites to visit before you head back into the Barcelona sunshine.
