I am in love with Antonio Gaudí. . . and the best way to do a tour of Gaudí is with children, because he was one of them. They see things we forgot to look at, maybe because we are always in a hurry? The best tour I have ever done was with a group of 20 children of 5 years old! That was the real Gaudí Experience. . . they just need some help. . . A guide that explains what they need to know and where to look. All together we can experience what Gaudí wanted us to know about him and his work. Let me be the one who will explain and tell you some stories about him. Let's play and have fun while we are learning. And in between we will have a little stop to try our hot chocolate with churros which is different from yours, have you ever tried? I love questions so please don't hesitate to ask me. When are you coming? This is a PRIVATE TOUR FOR YOUR PARTY ONLY I can create a customized tour in case you have any special request
Míriam is a gem. She took our family with 3 kids 4-9 years old on a tour for all things Gaudi. It was extremely hot that week and Miriam was super energetic, knowledgeable, and patient with the few meltdowns we had. She’s amazing with children and we really enjoyed our time with her. We will definitely work with her again the next time we’re back, and very highly recommend her as a guide.
Miriam was an amazing tour guide! She kept our 10 year old and 13 year old engaged and interested throughout the entire tour. The pacing was great and she offered a wealth of information about Gaudi and the buildings that we saw. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
There are not enough stars to rate this tour!! Miriam was incredible and extremely knowledgeable!. The Gaudi tour that Miriam took our family of 5 on was incredible!! It was fun, educational and delicious!! Truly the best 4 hours we spent in Barcelona!! Great for both kids and adults.
Our family had a great day with Miriam!! She shared information in a way that was interesting and engaging to us as parents, our two teenage daughters, and our 9 and 5 year old sons - not an easy thing to do!!! She is passionate and excited about the city and Gaudi and it’s impossible not to fall in love with them through her eyes. I highly recommend this tour if you’re in the city with kids and want to see the highlights but you are worried the kids will be bored or tired - Miriam reads the kids and slows down or speeds up when needed, offers ice cream or chocolate to keep them excited, and asks the kids questions to keep them engaged. We are so glad we got to meet Miriam and experience the highlights of Barcelona with her!!!
Our family had the pleasure of taking a tour of Gaudí's incredible buildings in Barcelona, and it was truly exceptional due to our guide, Miriam. She had an engaging presence that put everyone at ease, especially our kids. Miriam has the ability to seamlessly cater to both adults and kids. She had a knack for reviewing architecture and historical details that was fascinating for the adults, while also keeping the children entertained. Whether it was pointing out whimsical details that sparked their imaginations or asking engaging questions, she truly knew how to connect with all. Miriam's knowledge of Gaudí's masterpieces was truly impressive. This tour was a highlight of our trip to Barcelona, and a large part of that is thanks to Miriam. We wholeheartedly recommend her to groups traveling with kids or adults who want to explore Barcelona's rich cultural heritage. Miriam is a gem!
This was the best way to see Gaudi's works. Miriam was fantastic. The tour was amazing and even though it was geared toward my seven year grandson, it was not "dumbed down". We all learned so much. Miriam even showed Emerson how to solve a rubiks cube on one of our cab rides and helped me find a Renaldo jersey for Emerson. I will definitely use Miriam again when I'm in Barcelona and highly recommend her to others.

Walking and public transport taxi/ metro If you wish, I can always arrange a luxurious private van. You can always ask to add it at an additional cost.
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
In front of Casa Batlló in Passeig de Gràcia, 43. Do you want to start from the pier because you are coming by cruise? Perfect! however it would require adding the cost of a private car, due to the difficulty of finding reliable transportation from the Port of Barcelona
