"We so enjoyed having Pili for our tour guide. She is an artist and an expert on Gaudi so it was informative to look at things as an artist would, as Gaudi might want us to look at his works. We loved her intellect on history and learned so much about the Gothic Quarter. We enjoyed everything, especially her artistic interpretation of Gaudi. In the weeks leading up to the tour, Pili was professional and helpful in her communication with us. We are grateful to learn so much from Pili and to add to our wonderful experience in Barcelona.

"Had an excellent tour with Ellie- originally from the USA, she’s lived in Barcelona for 20 years and is truly a local, but without any language barriers! She was engaging, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The time flew by and only wished we had more time together! Her pace was perfect (we’re not fast walkers) and got us to our destinations perfectly on time. Would highly recommend this tour with her!"

Ellie brought Barcelona to life for us
"My wife and I had been planning our first trip to Spain for months. We missed out on getting tickets to get into Sagrada Famila (get them early!) but booked an outside only tour with Ellie. When we were able to score access to SF last minute, Ellie was super flexible and offered to take us on a tour of the Gothic Quarter instead. This turned out to be one of the best tours we took. She shared details that made us look at Barcelona in a new way, understanding its history and culture we would never have picked up on our own. She was a great resource with other local recs as well. So glad we toured with her. Thank you Ellie!"

A History of the Sagrada Familia
Construction of the Sagrada Familia began in 1882. When Antoni Gaudí took over a year later, he transformed the project with his unique vision. He dedicated over 40 years of his life to this masterpiece.
Gaudí: The Visionary of the Sagrada Familia
Antoni Gaudí, the genius behind the Sagrada Familia, was a master of Catalan Modernisme. Inspired by nature, he designed the basilica's interior to feel like a forest, with columns branching out like trees.
The Cultural Symbolism of the Sagrada Familia
The Sagrada Familia has three magnificent facades: the Nativity, the Passion, and the Glory. Each tells a biblical story through intricate sculptures, capturing the essence of Barcelona's rich cultural heritage.
The Light Within the Sagrada Familia
Stepping inside the Sagrada Familia is a breathtaking experience. The stained-glass windows filter the sunlight, creating an ever-changing cascade of colors that dance through the nave. It's a magical light show.

"Our family enjoyed learning so many of the details that are usally missed. Philippe is clearly passionate abou the history of his homeland, his culture and the history that shaped it. We had some crazy rain while on bikes and he managed to make it fun fron the start to end. He also gave us some awesome recommendations for suitable brunch and dinner spots. Hope to cross paths again in the future!"
"Ellie was wonderful! Native English speaker. Had wonderful details to share about the outside of Sagrada Família. She was very engaging and answered all of our questions. Learned so much more than I had on a big group tour a few years earlier. The small private group was fantastic. Ellie bought our entrance tickets and told us how to view the interior but did not come with us inside (I missed that detail before). But she did a great job of telling us what to look for inside. Over all loved our time with Ellie. Would highly recommend. "
"Working on a friend’s strong recommendation, we had the great fortune to get Ellie to give us a tour of the Gaudi highlights in Barcelona. It was delightful, interesting and enlightening from start to finish. In addition to sharing her deep knowledge of Guadi and his works in Barcelona, she also shared her knowledge of Barcelona including introducing us to the mass transit system in the city. She is amazing and fun! "
"Pili is an outstanding guide. She is so knowledgeable about Gaydi, his sites, with interesting details about light and architecture. She communicates well before, during, and after the tour. It was a privilege to have her as my guide. She helped me with my mobility issues. I could not have done these tours without her help. Highly recommend her.
"
"Federico was a wonderful guide - highly recommend that you book him! Knowledgable, funny, and very engaging guide. Having him for three hours was great. I enjoyed the personal touches, like showing us random shops. Extra props for him helping us on the subway during a very busy festival - we wouldn't have made our next event without his help. "
