Perfect guided tour. The guide explained and put life in the colony into context really well, and we loved seeing Gaudí’s incredible architecture in the Crypt. The visit to Montserrat was also a wonderful addition, with its beautiful views and historic monastery. It is totally recommended to take the guided tour because they explain details that you would not otherwise discover.

A lovely day
It is highly recommended to take a guided tour of the colony and surrounding area. Marc was wonderful as a guide, his passion for the history and architecture of the colony was evident and we really enjoyed his explanations. We also loved continuing on to Montserrat and taking in the beautiful views along the way.

Well worth the guided tour
A perfect guided tour. The guide explained and put life in the colony into context really well, and we loved discovering Gaudí’s incredible architecture. Visiting Montserrat afterward made the day even more special. It's definitely worth taking the guided tour because you learn so many details you would never notice on your own. Thank you to our guide Ivan!!

A perfect day
Laura was a fantastic guide. She knew Barcelona’s history really well and easily adapted the experience to what we wanted to see. The whole day felt very smooth, getting out of the city to explore Gaudí’s Colonia Güell and then continuing on to Montserrat with its incredible views and monastery. She also gave us great recommendations along the way for food and things to do, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend a tour with Laura.

Gaudí and more!!
Essential stop for fans of Gaudí. We did this day trip with Ivan, and he was an outstanding guide. He shared very interesting details in a fun and engaging way, very professional and attentive to everyone. Recommended 100%. The places we visited, from the colony and crypt to the mountain views, are truly beautiful.

Loved Every Minute
It was such an enriching experience. The guide’s explanations were clear and showed a strong knowledge of all the key highlights of the tour. Listening to our guide, Lucas, was a real pleasure. He had a great way of speaking that kept everyone interested without it ever feeling overwhelming. Honestly, the best part of the visit was how naturally he involved the group, making our curiosity and connection grow more and more as the tour went on.

Perfect trip Montserrat & Colonia Guell
Barcelona is a wonderful city, but I want to highlight the outstanding job done by our guide Marc, who made the tour feel deeply connected to the local history, culture and wonderful views of Montserrat and visiting Colonia Guell. He kept us engaged the entire time, and the hours passed in what felt like minutes thanks to his energy and insight. Highly recommended.

Every minute worth it!!
The tour is a full-day tour, and at first I thought it might feel too long — but it went by in a flash! Marco was fantastic: quick, clear, and full of great stories. With so much to share, his fast pace made perfect sense. We learned a ton, saw so much, and never felt bored. Honestly, the time just flew. Totally recommend this experience — and Marco gets a 10 from us!

Paulo’s Tour is Outstanding!
Paulo Silva has curated a unique and awe-inspiring tour with flexibility, friendliness, fascinating historical narrative! It took a lot of research to find a day trip that combined the often overlooked Gaudi Crypt along with a breathtaking tour of the stunning cliffs of Montserrat including an awe-inspiring cable car ride up the mountain and a walk through the majestic monastery with all of its ornate biblical figures in marble, gold, and other glittering wonders! What a testament to the heavens and what a perfect companion to usher us there! We even enjoyed the privilege of listening to Paulo’s awesome travel tunes including reggae classics, new wave, and even some impressive originals from his own local band! Thank you, Paulo! 16 thumbs up from the Long Beach, New York crew!!!!

Great tour if you have the right expectations
Great experience and for sure get tickets to see the boys choir. I will say I was expecting more of a “Petra” experience as opposed to the more modern 19th century building. . That being said - it is beautiful and the tour through Güell Colònia was very interesting and a great way to see how people lived during that time. Our guide, Paulo, was fun, personable and very knowledgeable. We could have hung out with him all day!!
