Uncover the best of Casa Mila the local Way

"Ellie did a wonderful job explaining Gaudi sites to us, keeping attention of my teenagers. She is from America so her English is perfect. She also provided good tips and recommendations about the city. "

"My 19 year old daughter and I had a wonderful time with Pili. She shared her wealth of knowledge about Gaudi’s architecture and pointed out things on the buildings that we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. She also shared the work she did as an artist on the Sagrada Família. She gave us some pointers on how to navigate the inside of the Sagrada and what we should look for. Don’t hesitate to book her if you are looking for a guide in Barcelona! "

"Ellie was very flexible with us and even helped us navigate the metro. My son, although very tired from the heat loved looking for the various details she called out in our scavenger hunt. She even offered to move our tour to an earlier time if we were available due to the heat wave. I highly recommend going with Ellie if you’re visiting Barcelona with kids!"

"Ellie was prompt and enthusiastic about Gaudi’s Park Güell, Família Sagrada. Prior to booking this tour I was under the illusion I could walk between the two sites but am glad she suggested a taxi for our family of five. Ellie was full of interesting information and context. She communicated well our meeting location. The only downsides were completely on my end- we booked the tour for the heat of the day, on the first day of our trip- a bit jet lagged, and my youngest child got sick. Ellie was gracious and flexible to expedite part of our tour to accommodate a sick kiddo. We ended our tour early but are so grateful to see two important sites in Barcelona. A guide like Ellie is essential to get the full experience and context of sites like these. While Ellie did not accompany us into the park or church, it allowed us to move through at our own pace and did not detract from the experience at all. Thank you, Ellie, for your professionalism and kindness. "

"Pili was incredibly kind, informative, and exceptionally knowledgeable about Gaudí and his works. Her passion for the subject was evident from our very first email exchange and carried through every moment of the tour. I highly recommend participating in the full experience. The tour begins at a different location, followed by a taxi ride with Pili paid for by you to the Sagrada Família, where she provides a fascinating and detailed exploration of the exterior of the cathedral. I also strongly encourage you to pay the additional fee to tour the interior with her, which includes her admission and additional time. While the inside visit is not included in the base price, it is absolutely worth it and elevates the experience to another level. This was one of the most detailed and enriching tours I have ever taken. Pili combines historical expertise with a genuine personal connection to Gaudí's work, bringing his vision and legacy to life in a way that is both engaging and memorable. If you do nothing else while visiting Barcelona, take this tour and follow her recommendations. Whether you are traveling alone, with family, or with friends, the experience feels personal and tailored to your interests. Pili is warm, personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about what she does. I would take this tour again without hesitation. Thank you Pili for being me into your world during our time together."

"Ellie was a great guide. She had so much knowledge and really kept our son entertained through a lot of history and walking. "

"If you take only one tour while in Barcelona, take the “Gaudi Walking Tour & Sagrada Familia Skip the Line” tour with Ellie! We loved, loved, loved this tour! Ellie’s knowledge of Gaudi and the intricacies and symbolism in his buildings is excellent and made Gaudi’s buildings so more much interesting and fascinating than they already are. Ellie has a great personality and made us feel extremely comfortable and cared-for from the very beginning of the tour. She also made great recommendations for shopping and dining. Cannot recommend this tour with Ellie strongly enough! If we are ever back in Barcelona, booking a tour with Ellie will be the first thing we do :)."

"Excellent tour, Ellie is a pleasant and knowledgeable guide to the city, flexible to modify the tour to our wishes, and we enjoyed the seeings in a highly comfortable minivan."

"We had a wonderful Gaudi tour with Ellie—incredibly informative and she kept the pace perfect…and the Sagrada Família Part of the tour was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend."

"Maria’s tour in Barcelona was spectacular! She was informative, easy to understand, personable, knowledgable, friendly, and made our Gaudi experience unique & fun. Our family learned a lot & the hours flew by. I highly recommend using her as your local guide. Tickets were secured quickly, entry was quick/efficient, and she was a pro at grabbing transportation in between areas. If you want an incredible experience…book Maria. "
