Absolutely loved our tour of Park Güell. The private access meant we could enjoy the space at our own pace, and our guide was fantastic. Miguel was so passionate and full of interesting facts about Gaudí that we wouldn't have learned on our own. The views of Barcelona from the park were breathtaking!

As a first-timer in Barcelona, this private tour of Park Güell was awesome! The place is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Guadi's designs are wild! Our guide was super friendly and made it easy to understand the history and the little details that make the park so special. I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I ended up loving it. Getting to skip the lines and explore at our own pace was great too. If you’re visiting, don’t miss this one!

I absolutely loved visiting this park with my partner! We've come to love Gaudi and his work and our guide Liana was super knowledgeable and brought the history, stories, and architecture to life. We got to see so much of the park and it was well paced and organized. Recommend going with a guide! The company did well organizing it and the customer service staff in helping me plan my time in Barcelona.
