TRAVELERS WHO TOOK OUR PARK GUELL, SAGRADA FAMILIA & GOTHIC QUARTER TOUR SAY:
“We did a half day with our guide Montse through the Gothic Quarter, Parc Güell, and Sagrada Familia. She was very knowledgeable, very engaging, very flexible and willing to go off the regular path to explore our interests. Overall a great experience and we would highly recommend it !”
“We selected the city tour that included a driver. It allowed us to get a quick overview of the Gothic Quarter and a brief stop for tapas (at our request). We then proceeded to Park Guell and Sagrada Familia. Xavier was once a guide at Sagrada Familia, so he can answer nearly any question. He has a passion for what he does and it shows.”
TAILOR THIS GAUDI GOTHIC QUARTER TOUR TO YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS
This tour is for people wanting to visit Gaudi’s Park Guell and Sagrada Familia, as well as the Gothic Quarter.
If you are traveling with kids, this tour is totally children friendly.
If you are 4 people or more, consider adding a private driver if you don’t wish to split in two taxis for the ride.
If you have walking issues, please note that the Gothic Quarter and the Jewish Section are fully pedestrian areas and you must be able to walk with frequent stops but little opportunities to seat for about 1 hour at least. Also, Park Guell involves short flights of steps (around 10 to 20 steps each).
If you are on a wheelchair, the Gothic Quarter is quite doable, but skipping the steps in Park Guell is a detour that requires time. As long as there are tickets available for those hours, we’d start your tour with Sagrada Familia, then head to Park Guell, and spend whatever time is left at the Gothic Quarter (it might be shorter than what’s planned in the original itinerary – please book an extra hour if you want to make sure you’ll have time for everything).
If you would also like to go inside La Pedrera (Casa Milà), add one to two extra hours to your tour.
If you’d rather have an overview of the city center, this walking tour skips Park Guell (that could be added with one extra hour), takes you inside Sagrada Familia and walks you around the Gothic Quarter, but also includes La Rambla, the Boqueria Market and Passeig de Gràcia.
If you’d like to have a longer tour, check out our full day tours.
If budget is an issue or time is short, consider a private 1.5 hour tour of your favorite site, instead.
