Our take

For anyone who's already seen the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell and wants to go further: the Colonia Güell crypt, where Gaudí tested ideas for the Sagrada Familia, Bellesguard Tower and Casa Vicens, away from the crowds and with a specialist. It's expensive for two (from about €304 per person, lunch included), dropping to about €207 each for four. Note that drop-off at your hotel isn't included.

The experience

How the day works

Your guide picks you up by car and you head to Colonia Güell, a 19th-century industrial colony with its crypt, whose design Gaudí used as a trial run for the Sagrada Familia. You have a tapas lunch there at a traditional restaurant.

Next comes Bellesguard Tower, a mysterious work blending neo-Gothic forms with Catalan Art Nouveau, and the last stop is Casa Vicens, the first house Gaudí designed, which you explore with an audio guide in your language.

Who it's for

  • Anyone who knows the famous Gaudí and wants to discover the less-visited one.
  • Architecture lovers who value going with a specialist.

Accessibility

The operator states it is not wheelchair or stroller accessible.
