Gaudi guidet tur: Hoteller i nærheden af La Pedrera & Casa Vicens

Tour was not as advertised. After 1st tour with guide I was emailed a ticket for the other two locations and had to find them and tour them on my own. The 2nd location took so long using the audio guide I was not able to go to the 3rd location at all. The description says you will be with one guide for all 3 locations. I was not notified of this until after the 1st location ended and I asked the guide. I paid for a guided tour of 3 locations but was only given a guided tour of the 1st location with no notice whatsoever that there were changes. I WOULD NOT recommend this particular tour to anyone since it was not as advertised and I wasted money paying for a 2nd tour guide and 3rd location that I could not go to. I should have been notified of this prior to the tour with an option for a refund.

Easy to locate office. Alberto was our lovely tour guide. We walked round to the entrance and given headset ( just for clarity - Albert explained every statue with interest, knowledge and enthusiasm. He was engaging and interactive. Great tour.

Tour of the Gaudi houses First off all, this tour is very misleading because the tour’s title, along with the email confirmation, say it’s a tour of all three houses, when in fact you have to specifically add on Casa Vicens. We only saw Casa Batllo and La Pedrera, so be confident you understand what you are signing up for on this tour. We arrived at the meeting point which is inside the gift shop of the White Rabbit museum gift shop which is not directly affiliated with the tour. They said to arrive 15 minutes early, which we did, and we just sat in the gift shop for 15 minutes. There was no advance prep needed and was a waste of our time. We then met our well-intended but absolutely uninformed and untrained tour guide who was taking us to Casa Batllo. We did skip the line and walked right in. She took us through the house and pointed out very basic information like “look at this very nice lamp”. This guide did not provide historical or artistic feedback and I should have just bought my own ticket to the tour the home myself. She was completely inept are her job and for this price, we were very disappointed. The home itself is a must see. There were seven of us on the tour including my group of three. After the tour of the Casa Batllo, the tour guide walked us up the avenue to the La Pedrera (about a 10 minute walk), pointing very remarkable buildings but again providing little to no information about them. The guide then left us in this very touristy cafe in the La Pedrera for about 20 minutes while we waited, with nothing to do, for our next guide. Our next guide arrived and about six additional people joined our initial seven group. The new group of six (various couples) were told they weren’t seeing all three houses and this was only the tour of La Pedrera. They proceeded to the argue with the tour guide about how they weren’t receiving the tour they booked and the guide just acted like it wasn’t her problem. The initial seven became annoyed that this was delaying their tour. After about 5-10 minutes of arguing with no resolution, we began the tour. This guide of La Pedrera was great; great attitude, organized, and very knowledgeable. The La Pedrera is also a must see, especially the roof. The total tour of the two houses was 2.5 hours, including all the wasted time. Overall I would not suggest this tour. For the price, it’s just not worth it. I strongly recommend using a different tour company or doing self guided tour. It was very expensive and not well managed. I will be seeking a refund.

This tour was supposed to include both Casa Batllo and Casa Pedrera. However the Casa Pedrera part was cancelled, although we did get the ticket to see it on our own. This was actually beneficial as doing both as a tour is a three hour affair and I think too long. The tour was also in English and Spanish which was a little awkward. Casa Batllo is amazing and I highly recommend seeing that Casa but I think you can do it without a guide. They have audio guides.

This tour was cancelled at the last minute. I received NO notification of this. I expect a full refund. I tried to go on line and get tickets for casa mila, but, none were available.

The tour was amazing - Gaudi is a genius! Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a good job keeping our group intact despite it being very crowded in the houses. The only thing that we felt was a negative is that the tour was in English and Spanish, and at times it was difficult to follow and understand everything being said. I know now to look for “monolingual” when booking a tour.

An amazing Gaudi experience. Our guide, Oliver, knew Gaudi inside out & shared great info with our group. It was a bummer though that at Casa Batllo he was given a group of Spanish speakers within the larger group of English speakers. Oliver managed this well BUT it was very distracting & disappointing. However when we moved to Casa Milo we were a small English group & Oliver gave us his best. Touring these Gaudi houses is a must do in Barcelona

This was the absolute worst experience ver. The guide rushed us through the Casa Battleo house in 20 minutes only to leave us at the gift shop for over 50 minutes. She would not sotp to let us enjoy the house and all its amazing decor. We then set off to Casa Mila and it more of the same. Very disorganized at the entrance. It was like she had never been there before. The most disappointing experience we have ever had. Definitely not worth the cost!!!

The guide wasn’t organized an all. We wasted a lot if time waiting. And can not understand very much.

Oliver was a wealth of information about the Casa Battlo. Enjoyed the explanation of the story about St Jordi and the killing if the dragon and how Gaudi transfer all that into the design of the exterior of Casa Battlo. Once inside, Oliver’s narrative made our minds transport in time and really realized how amazing and what a genious Gaudi was! Casa Mila’s balconies and roof were spectacular! Be prepare to climb 5 floors of stairs , but the roof view and structures are sure worth it!!!! You can also admire Gaudi’s Casa Mila model on the top floor and other interesting models on how Gaudi could visualize the towers of the Sagrada Familia Basílica.
