We had a lot of fun with Francesca, who took her time to really highlight what makes these two iconic houses so special and so different. The early-ish start allowed us to miss the worst of the crowds, but she also deftly maneuvered us past those who had to pose for selfies at every turn. If seeing these stunning Gaudi creations wasn’t enough, the chocolate tasting exceeded our expectations: We left fulfilled, both literally and figuratively!
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to know that you had a great experience with Francesca and that her insights helped highlight the unique character of both Gaudí houses. We’re also pleased that the early start allowed for a more comfortable visit, and that the chocolate tasting exceeded your expectations. It’s always our goal to provide enriching and enjoyable experiences, and we’re glad to hear we succeeded. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.
We saw two excellent Gaudi houses. They were even greater with all the interesting details provided by Xavi - the best guide we had so far. Between the two visits we had a great chocolate tasting - higly recomended. The picking up from our hotel was another plus. Great tour, even greater guide.
Dear Mr. Boldeanu, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review on us! We are glad that you enjoyed the tour with Xavi. We look forward to see you again in Barcelona.
Experiencing a customized tour with a very small group made the experience much more enjoyable. Our guide was knowledgable and personable as well.
Dear June, Thank you for sharing your review. We are glad you enjoyed your Casa Batlló & La pedrera + Chocolate tasting tour! We hope to see you again in this beautiful city soon. Kind regards, Raphael Campaña

Seeing both Gaudi houses so different in many ways, a testament to his genius. Our guide Miguel was FABULOUS. highly recommend this experience although a little pricey. Don't miss this one!
