Francesc did a great job. Interacted so well with our curious teenage boys. Super knowledgable about all things Gaudi and all things Barcelona, and so creative and skillful in imparting that knowledge.

***FULLY LICENSED TOUR GUIDE #2754 (since 2010) *** SKIP THE LINE GUARANTEED AT ALL SITES Hi! I am Francesc. I was born in Barcelona when it was not a touristic city. Little by little the city became tourist and I went into this world (more than 25 years ago). Nowadays, I'm a guide and this is my full time job: I really enjoy doing it. I offer Private tours all over Barcelona and Catalonia (Montserrat, Cadaqués, Costa Brava, Dalí, etc). My clients say I am very passionate when I tour them. Well, I put myself in their shoes and I think: one trip sometimes is the result of a long time, maybe months or years preparing it. When you travel, you are going to an unexplored land, but you wish everything goes perfect: your flight, your hotel and, of course, your tour guide. I realize if you decide to take a tour guide it is because you think it's the best way to know this place. Therefore, my responsibility is huge in order to live up to your expectations. That's why I will do everything in my power to make your trip perfect. If you look for a more personal and enjoyable tour, just let yourself be amazed!!! ***FULLY LICENSED TOUR GUIDE #2754 (since 2010) *** SKIP THE LINE GUARANTEED AT ALL SITES (see the license picture in my profile pictures) Member of the APIT Barcelona (Association of Professional Tourist Guides).

"I presented a diploma today, to a madman or to a genius. Time will tell" said the Architecture Chair at the University of Barcelona about Antoní Gaudí. Let's answer this question visiting some of his constructions: - Passeig the Gràcia became the avenue where the wealthy Catalan families settled in the late nineteenth century. An emerged social class, that promoted the beginning of the economic development of Catalonia (now, the richest area of Spain). Casa Batlló and La Pedrera are some of its buildings. - The Park Güell, a luxury residential site, was the reality of a utopia for his friend and patron, Eusebi Güell. - The church of La Sagrada Família is the masterpiece of Gaudí, still unfinished and landmark of Barcelona. * Extend the tour one hour to visit the inside of one of the houses of Gaudí and to see how the bourgeoisie used to live - I recommend visiting La Pedrera

Francesc was a great tour guide. He really brought out the history and uniqueness of Gaudi’s works that we would have otherwise missed and not appreciated.
Great tour with Francesc! He was so kind, knowledgable and willing to go at the pace we needed. Highly recommend his tour if you are coming to Barcelona! This is listed on the tour site but transportation to the different sites and the tickets for the park and Sagrada are not included in the listed price so plan to bring cash to pay for that.
I have taken many privately guided tours in my life and this was THE PINNACLE of tours. Francesc was so knowledgeable but customized the I four or exactly what we wanted. We probably had THE BEST tour of Sagrada Família of anyone else who was there. Then park Guell and Casa Batlló. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you
Phenomenal tour! We would do it all over again! Francesc is exceptionally knowledgeable and one the very best guides we’ve ever met. We learned so much about Gaudi’s masterpieces, and really enjoyed the countless details Francesc pointed out to us. We will surely be recommending this wonderful experience to anyone we know who is visiting Barcelona.
Our tour with Francesc and the wonders of Gaudi was exceptional. Francesc was personable and knowledgeable. Although this was my second visit to some of these sights he provided me with many insights I previously did not know. This is a tour not to be missed. Our sincere thanks to Francesc for a memorable day.
- The Park Güell (inside) - Sagrada Família (inside) (if you want to go up the towers please ask it before I purchase the entrances) - Passeig the Gracia: the Casa Lleó I Morera, the Casa Amatller, the Casa Batlló and La Pedrera The itinerary can be adapted to traveller's interests: do not hesitate to contact me for a customized tour. * If you extend the tour an hour: the inside of one of the houses of Gaudí.

Taxis are what I recomend for this tour, easy to be found and inexpensive (you will pay no more than 45€ in total). However, if you prefer a private chauffeured vehicle, please contact me for a customized tour.
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
To make the most of our time, I recommend meeting in front of the Batlló House, a famous building of Gaudí at Passeig de Gracia, 43 Barcelona. However, I’ll also be happy to pick you up at your hotel, apartment, or cruise ship terminal if you prefer.
