Get ready for a whirlwind tour of Barcelona.
|
| |
|
Your guide will drive you to all of the must-see sites in the city, making sure that you have plenty of opportunity to walk around and see everything up close, depending on your interests.
See the Cathedral and Antoni Gaudi's famous La Sagrada Família, Barcelona's funkiest church. Begun in 1883, it is still not finished! Also visit Park Güell, a garden complex with fascinating architectural elements situated on a hill in the Gràcia district. From the large cross at the Park's high-point you can get the most complete view of Barcelona and the bay, including the Sagrada Família and the Montjuïc area.
Your next stop by another of Gaudi's works, Casa Mila, a deeply controversial building. Its rippled stone facade and harsh wrought iron balconies earned it the nickname "La Pedrera." This will be followed by Casa Batlló, your third Gaudi stop, is known locally as "Casa dels ossos," or house of bones, due to its exterior skeletal quality.
Now make your way to Monjuic, a village rising 700 feet above the city's commercial port and full of cafes, boutiques, art galleries and museums. Your final stop will be Las Ramblas, the most famous Barcelona street, for a true taste of the city. You will enjoy this walking portion of the tour as you make your way through the narrow winding streets in the old city around Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter.

BARCELONA SPAIN...L Stark |
| We had a wonderful experience. Our guide did an absolutely fantastic job. He and his driver were very organized in taking us to more places than I ever dreamed we would get to in four hours. His driver really new how to get around the City well and in a timely manner. He was very interested in doing his best to accommodate our requests. He is so knowledgeable about all the sites. He has a great personality for what he does and is very interesting to listen to. If we are able to return to Barcelona in the future I will definitely be requesting him for our guide and the same driver. Both of these gentlemen were a pleasure to be with. We came off the ship earlier that our meeting time and both our guide and our driver were there waiting for us at that time. |

BARCELONA SPAIN... Agent Van Zile |
| I spoke with my clients when they returned from their trip. I had booked the 1/2 day private tour of Barcelona and later in the day a Flamenco show. The guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. They enjoyed their tour very much. In the evening, they went to the Flamenco show and said it was terrific! I appreciate your company "staying on its toes" and checking in to see how the clients enjoyed their trip. Nice job... |
