At the beginning of the century, the high class of Barcelona wanted to live in the city center. The most remarkable example of this desire is the Palau Guell, the house of the same Guell family that founded the construction of the Park Guell and the major patron of Gaudi’s work. Have a look at the facade of this private house, where a young Gaudi shows already all his talent to master the light and create beautiful shapes even with very limited space.

Excellent Experience
Katy was an excellent guide. We’d been on many tours this week, but she taught us things we hadn’t yet heard.

Great Tour
Late afternoon was the perfect time for this tour. The sunset views on Montjuic were magical. Lots of walking! Stephanie was a lot of fun and very communicative prior to the tour.

Beautiful Montjuic
My wife and I very much enjoyed the tour given by our guide Montse. It was an evening tour and due to high winds some of the attractions were closed. This did not interfere with the tour at all. Montse was able to deliver an excellent experience. She gave a true Catalan vibe in both her enthusiasm and perspective on Catalan history. She took great care of us in all categories. Thank you Montse 😊
