Miguel is delightful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable Enjoyed how he delved into past history, and merged these periods into a greater understanding of Gaudi's work and architecture in general. We plan to go on some of the other BAW walks. Highly recommended.

Miguel lead our group of about a dozen on a miserable rainy day on a most interesting and insightful tour of Gaudi's work and its place in Barcelona's and architectural history. Not a stock tourist's look superficially at the standard sites, but a framing of his work, and the work of others in terms of the times by a passionate... More

This is my first review ever. My husband and three teen girls have enjoyed academic-led trips by other travel companies on previous trips to Europe. We decided to give BAW a whirl on our recent trip to Barcelona and we think the company is fabulous. It is small enough that the owner absolutely cares about your experience and will do... More

My with & i took the Gaudi tour it was fun nice we learned a lot and the guide was really knowledgeable. It is more complete to take this kind of tour with a pro like going to cinema with a director or to the musem with a painter. It was also very nice because we were only the 2... More

In freezing conditions Miguel was able to capture our attention with his enthusiasm as he expertly blended the history of architecture, Barcelona and most importantly Gaudi. We learnt so much and saw things we might otherwise had missed. Enjoyed Miguel's recommendation on which Tapas Bar to have lunch in. After the tour we then spent the afternoon exploring and appreciating... More

The tour was fascinating. Although it was close to 0 degrees Celsius outside, we barely felt it, because we were so interested in what the guide- Miguel- had to say. The concept of an architect who guides you is brilliant, and adds so much value to the tour. We are sure going to take another tour with BAW the next... More

Ricard's tour called "Barcelona and the Sea" (BAW 4) was terrific; it gave us an eye on the city's development from Roman times to the present. He is a wonderful explainer, and a good reader of poetry! We had three twenty-somethings in tow and all found it illuminating and lively and fun, despite blustery weather. Highly recommended.

Last week a small group of friends took the Enric Miralles tour through Barcelona's old town. Miguel Angel is a very knowledgeable architect who weaves Roman times, Spanish history and contemporary architecture seamlessly. The tour is full of anecdotes and insights that is impossible to get from any guide or book. A truly wonderful experience to be enjoyed on a... More
