Our tour guide Pia was knowledgeable and a great teacher! She explained the history of Barcelona in a fun way with many illustrations, maps, and building examples as we walked through the city. We learned how Guadi's architecture emerged and became emblematic of the city's identity. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who appreciates city planning, politics, architecture, engineering, design - no matter your age or experience with these subjects. It's an exciting crash course on Barcelona in 3 info packed hours!

Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words deboraw528! It is very gratifying to meet with someone that values what we do with the same measure of enthusiasm and passion we hope to bring to every encounter. We are really proud about our team and Pia is one of the best leading architects we have.It's fantastic you have perceived this, but let me say, that it's easy to transmit when you are as heedful and lively like you. Hope to see you soon and walk together again!

What a unique experience! For someone that is really interested in architecture and the history of a city, this is probably one of my best tour experience ever. Nothing beats hearing from an architect / professor directly about how the city has been evolving as well as projects that he / she worked on directly. With Pia I was able to learn about how the city of Barcelona was built and she showed me a lot of hidden gems in the Gothic Quarter that I unlikely could find by myself. Thanks so much Pia and BAW!!!

Our guide (Pia) was very motivated, kind and proved that she knows a lot about the city, its origins and architecture in general. The tour is very interesting and will lead you through breathtaking parts of Barcelona. We went as a group of 21 people and it was absolutely worth it!

We booked a special 5 hour tour with Pia. It was worth every euro. She is extraordinarily knowledgable about architecture, city planning, history, construction, and more. This is the second tour we've taken with Pia as guide. She is as gifted at teaching us about modern construction as she is about centuries old buildings. We are looking forward to the next tour!

Learned more about Barcelona and Gaudi in these 3.5 hours than in five museums.
Our guide was Pia. Group of 15. Guide was pleasant, approachable and easy to understand.

Try to take this tour on your first day, before you visit anywhere else in Barcelona. It will give you much better understanding of what you’re seeing in the area, including the different phases of the city, the building code, the different facade types and details, and more.

Btw tour ends not far from Sagrada Familia - can potentially combine the two (plan for a lunch break between them).

One of the most informative tours I had on my three-week long trip in Spain and Portugal. Carmen was insightful and knowledgeable; I learned a lot. This was about more than Gaudi. I highly recommend it to folks who are interested in architecture, urban planning and arts.

My wife and I, together with my son and his girlfriend, took an architectural tour of Barcelona with Rafael. This was a really interesting, professional tour. The four of us really enjoyed the tour and learned an enormous amount about Barcelona modernists and about the city in general. Rafael was an extremely engaging and friendly tour guide. He really helped us gain a greater appreciation of architecture, in general.

We were a group of 17 from Oxford Brookes university with little prior knowledge, however we left with a good and broad understanding of key moments of the movement. The tour guide gave an explanation at each stop on the route which was rooted in the time, place and context of the respective architectural/urban design decision. The tour guide was energetic and friendly and answered questions well but quickly. The tour was 4 hours long with a short coffee break in the middle. Would recommend these high quality tours to anyone interested.

Hi kayiram2020, thank you so much for your kind words! As you could see, we really love what we do and receive feedback from you, is fantastic for us, this is the best reward for our work. Really our walking tour is a good choice to understand in another level Barcelona modernisme, history, culture and architecture of our incredible city. Gaudí is probably the most representative of all of the modernist architects, and with this trip you take beyond his most famous works to discover the origins and all the details concerning this artistic movement. Hope to see you soon and walk together again!

Had a great 3 hours this week with Ricard and just one other tour guest exploring Sant Antoni and Barcelona urbanism. Great walk for those interested in the planning history of Barcelona, particularly the Cerda plan, the 'blocks' of Barcelona, and the new superblock attempts. Thanks Ricard!

Jelena was amazing! She was very knowledgeable as she is a professor of an architectural college - without being too technical. A must join tour for both archi lovers and if you just want to know more about the landscape of the city. If I can just suggest one thing is that it would be prefect if they can get you inside the buildings.
