Barcelona Gaudi's Park Güell Private Guided Walking Tour

Overview

Park Güell is one of Barcelona’s top treasures and a must-do when visiting the city. This intimate guided tour will lead you through the park’s different areas while learning about its fascinating history. Rosa, one of our local guides, says, ‘Park Güell is a feast of colours and thousands of details where shapes, columns and walls don’t follow standard patterns – Gaudí didn’t like straight lines. Seeing his work in a natural setting makes his creations even more special.’ Strolling through the park is like walking into Gaudí’s mind. Originally commissioned by Count Eusebi Güell to be a housing estate, the project fell through and Gaudí decided to finish it himself. It took 14 years to build the park. See Hansel and Gretel-style gingerbread houses, the famous ‘el drac’ – a kaleidoscopic mosaicked creature and Gaudi's house. Rosa says, ‘Gaudi has seven UNESCO World Sites in the city of Barcelona and Park Güell is one of his most popular ones. It’s a mesmerising fairytale park.’
