This Tour Is a Must Do
Patrick’s tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Spain! He is so knowledgeable and such an engaging storyteller. The sights on the tour build as you walk up the street and the way he gets you to see and understand so many details that most people would miss is worth every minute. Our time was short and we had to choose between going inside one Gaudi house or going on this tour and this was the correct choice. Patrick’s assistance with navigating the Metro to get to Sagrada Família was an added bonus and gave us the confidence to use the system to our benefit over the next several days.

Great experience looking at modern architecture with Patrick
We really enjoyed hearing Patrick explain the history and context of numerous modern art buildings, including those designed by Goudi. We walked at a relaxed pace, which allowed plenty of time for discussion and looking at the various design aspects. Highly recommended

A great way to see Barcelona
My family and I loved the walking tour with Patrick. He made it super interesting and informative. We walked Barcelona the day before and didn't notice any of the details that Patrick pointed out. He met us at our hotel and took us all the way to La Sagrada Familia.

Very engaging experience and a good knowledge of Gaudi architecture
Patrick is a very engaged tour guide with personal touch! He provided us a very good understanding of Gaudi’s architectural designs and the four buildings visited from outside. I appreciate the added content of Catalonian culture.

A must-experience in Barcelona
The tour was super interesting and Patrick gave us a lot of interesting information about Barcelona, Gaudí and Spanish modernism in general. It was very informative, detailed and was full of little-known facts.
The tour works on a donation basis, so it is ideal for people traveling on a budget.
Highly recommended!

Witty and wonderful walking tour
My boyfriend and I did the Gaudí tour with Patrick and can firmly say we are now fans of their work - that applies to Gaudí AND Patrick! The storytelling was super engaging and it was very interesting to learn more about modernism generally. It didn’t feel rushed at all but in a couple of hours we learnt so much about the hidden gems found on the buildings of Barcelona. Thank you Patrick!
