Barcelona Gaudi Houses Tour: Casa Vicens, Pedrera & Casa Batlló

Gaudí homes are beyond beautiful, they are unique. Our guide brought them to life for us, s well as showing us the history of Guadi. He was unique and before his time. The elements that he u from earth and sea were great.

Very informative and interesting tour of the Gaudi houses. Jane was our tour guide and her wealth of knowledge was incredible. She also presented the information with a genuine enthusiasm. This tour included the Casa Vicens, the first Gaudi house which is beautiful and most of the time not always included in typical tours. This was a big plus.

This was a great tour definitely the best part of my trip to Spain! Jane was an awesome tour guide that was extremely knowledgeable, I’m so happy and I would definitely recommend it:)

This was a very informative and interesting tour about Gaudi. The houses were very different but beautiful

Lots of walking and steps but a wonderful experience. You learn a lot about Audi and the culture of the era.

This tour is a must do for Barcelona. Three of the most famous Gaudi houses in BCN. Estrella was very knowledgeable!

Tour of three of Gaudi’s architectural masterpieces. Our guide Catarina was very knowledgeable and clearly has expertise and personal passion for the subject. Answered all our questions.

We really enjoyed our tour of the three Gaudi houses, although we saw Casa Mila, not Pedrera. The 3 houses were very different, each quite beautiful in its own way. Our guide was a bit disappointing, Dong Wong. His command of the English language was not great. He kept asking an Asian woman in our group for the right word. Also, we overheard another guide giving information about Casa Vincens that our guide never provided and appeared not to know. Also disappointing was Casa Batllo as we were only allowed to tour one floor. Our guide said our tickets did not include the other floors???

Great opportunity to explore some of Gaudi’s masterpieces! It was wonderful to see.

My visit to Barcelona from Australia to tour the Gaudi Houses with The Touring Pandas was exceptional - the guide with vast historical knowledge of all three houses along with the consuming history of Antoni Gaudi.. the storytelling made the experience all that I knew it would be. You will be blown away by the grandeur, and architecture that Gaudi is famous for. Do not hesitate, you will experience a magnificent, unforgettable tour, see an impressive perspective of three famous architectural delights.. The Touring Pandas - thank you for making my wish come true and showing me an unforgettable experience.

Jane was a wonderful tour guide and was incredibly knowledgeable. I learned so many interesting things and highly recommend this tour! The only regret was that it ran a bit long so I had to cut my tour short in order to make the next one I booked.

Jane was outstanding. Articulate, knowledgeable, efficient and covered so much material and answered everyone’s questions. Wish it were longer!

Our guide Jane was very knowledgeable. Enjoyed her touring us not only all 3 houses but even in between as we were walking between the houses in Barcelona.

Excellent, well spoken, knowledgeable guide that used headsets My opinion, stay clear of guides that dont!

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about many details of the homes we toured. We saw everything I had anticipated and more. Unfortunately the last house the largest, was extremely crowded. So go as early as you can get a tour.

There is a lot of walking with this tour. There was a 30 minute walk between two of the houses. Due to bad weather we took a taxi. The houses were good to see but it was quite crowded. Glad though that I saw it all.

Overall I feel like I got a good overview of the gaudi houses over the course of the ~3 hour tour of casa vicens, casa pedrera, and casa batlló, and I appreciated the combination. I believe entry fees summed up for all individually is about $90, and we paid $130 for entry plus tour, so I do think value for money was good. Tips: - bring good walking shoes -if you’re there during the rainy season bring raincoat and umbrella - arrive early as specified at the meeting point Pros: - our guide Estella had a lot of facts to convey regarding all three houses, and had nice stops between houses as well to point out architecture - we were able to enter all houses pretty quickly even if there were crowds Cons: - while in casa pedrera we were given an English audio guide, so it felt a bit redundant to have a tour guide miming along with our headsets - this may have been a bit exasperated by the rainy weather, but our guide seemed a bit disorganized when it came to managing our group. She would tell us we could wander at will but not give clear meetup instructions, so at one point we lost a couple people and she was unable to call them via the tour info because she could not remember their names, so she was asking everyone in the group if anyone remembered their names. Maybe a smaller group would help with this in the future (we had 16 people). At one point she told us to wait outside of casa pedrera in a specific spot while she organized our entry, only for us to be told once she’d left that we were standing in front of the emergency exit. She also did not plan out bathroom breaks over the ~3 hours so if anyone took a bathroom break they missed part of the tour.

We really enjoyed this one. Each house offers something special to see. One caveat - only city we have been in where the guide doesn't offer to take photos of the participants. Would be a great addition to the tour.

Very good tour of 3 Gaudi houses. Our guide Katrina did a good job of keeping the group together and she was very informative. I would have rated it a 5 but there were some issues at the second house and we ended up waiting about 30 minutes for our entry. Our tour was delivered via Traveling Pandas and they were very organized. They were responsive to inquiries ahead of the tout. Our group was about 14 and it worked out fine. There is a lot of walking g and there are steps so be prepared to cover some territory over the 3+ hr tour.

Wonderful experience, our guide was excellent, gave us lots of info.

The tour was well thought out and fascinating. The guide, Jane, was excellent,one of the best I have encountered. She knew her, far beyond the basics to details theenrich the visual spendor of the Gaudi house, but also the context of life in Barcelona now and then.

Gaudi houses were spread out and it’s a 20 minute walk between #1 and #2, and 8 minutes walk from #2 and #3. As it’s October now, perhaps the tours should be offered earlier in the afternoon as it was darker by the time we reached #3 which made daylight effects less enjoyable. Zoe our guide was good but after starting with 11 people at house #1 our group was down to 5 people because the others dropped off due to tiredness.

We very much enjoyed the pacing and order of the tour. Jane was fun and very knowledgeable about the history of the houses and era.

We had a wonderful knowledgeable, guide and thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour

Super great tour guide. We saw all three houses and had a very pleasant walking tour as well. Highly recommend this trip.

Katharina was a wonderful guide and the Gaudi houses are a must see.

Excellent tour! Jane is knowledgeable and entertaining. It is three hours of walking and standing. I highly recommend.

Estella was wonderful! She made exploring Gaudí’s incredible houses such a fun and memorable experience. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and personal touch brought the architecture and stories to life. A fantastic tour with Panda Tours—I highly recommend Estella!

More walking than expected but a great tour Very impressive and informative. The stories are great. Definitely something a visitor should do.

Mario was an excellent guide who was able to share a vast amount of information not only about the Gaudi houses we visited, but also about Barcelona and Catalonia. Visiting these 3 houses is an excellent way to understand the arc of Gaudi's career. We took the metro between Casa Vicens and La Pedrera (Casa Milà) instead of walking since it was threatening to rain, but the distance between the last two stops was very short. We ended up running long due to some delays at La Pedrera that were out of the control of our guide. The 3 hour time allotted for this tour feels a bit aggressive given the travel time between locations and the amount to see at each one. My recommendation would be to add 30 minutes to an hour to the tour length. Regardless, this is an excellent tour and I would highly recommend it.

Wonderful to see the genius of Gaudi. For people who have a problem walking long distances be aware the distance between the first and second houses is about 30 minutes of brisk walking. I had a hard time keeping up with the guide.

Very informative. Our guide Katherina was wonderful, clear, engaging and friendly. We really enjoyed the tour.

Houses are amazing. Tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable about them and showed addition Al beautiful homes along the walks between the 3 houses.

It was an excellent tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The houses are truly amazing.

We toured the three Gaudi locations with Jane, from Great Britain. Jane was one of the best tour guides we have ever experienced before, and we have been on a LOT of tours. Jane was knowledgeable and passionate about the topic, and seemed to love her job. We had an elderly woman who was very challenged with the pace and requirements of the tour. Jane went out of her way to accommodate her. Fantastic overall! I would recommend clearly explaining the physical requirements for this tour.

Great introduction to Barcelona and the work of Gaudi. Thoroughly enjoyed our small group experience. Jane is a lovely person and a wonderful guide.

The visit was canceled due to filming at the site

This was a great way to see 3 Gaudi houses in half a day. People with mobility issues such as the elderly or those with strollers should think twice about signing on for a tour that includes a vigorous 20 minute walk and houses that require strollers and backpacks to be checked.

I've toured historic homes, plantations, and many castles but nothing is quite like the Gaudi homes. All 3 of them are so completely different it is impossible to pick a favorite. Our tour guide Jekaterina was so knowledgeable and shared history and art with all of us. This tour is definitely at the top of favorite holiday tours.

If you like Gaudi and his architectural style, then you will love this excursion. Some walking but mostly down hill and it was an easy walk. Both my wife and I have difficulty walking long distances. This excursion w as relatively easy for both of us.

The Gaudí Houses tour was very informative, and everything that was promised was included. Our guide was extremely friendly and attentive. She made sure the group stayed together and that everyone could hear all the information. She was also happy to help us take pictures and answered all of our questions along the way. We really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about Gaudí and his incredible work. I can highly recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful, knowledgable tour guide in Katerina. She kept the tour interesting the entire three hours. There is a lot of walking at a decent pace, so be prepared for a fast paced tour. The Gaudi houses are phenomenal and learning historical details was fun and interesting.

We did the full day tour with the Gaudi houses in the morning and La Sagrada in the afternoon. The Gaudi houses were great and our guide Mario was the best! The Sagrada tour was rushed if your goal is to savor the experience and learn about the history, but it was helpful to have dedicated group entrance and have someone shepard us through the entrance process, which was a bit of a madhouse.

Jane was an amazing guide. Throughly enjoyed ourselves. She was informative and very pleasant. Definitely recommend her.

A great way to learn about modernism in architecture. I liked the progression from an early Gaudi commission to his later works. Guide from London (can’t remember her name) was fantastic.

We took the 3 Gaudi Houses tour in Barcelona and although it was very hot and crowded (in August), it did not distract from our excellent experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and knew every detail of the three houses. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to others that want to know about Gaudi architecture.

It is not really a tour for kids. It is a very active tour with lots of walking, which was fine for us, but not that conducive for kids. If in the summer (August), it is hot!!!! The tour of the 3 houses was excellent - our guide was very knowledgeable and knew every detail about the houses. We really enjoyed it, except for the August heat and the crowds!

Jane was an awesome tour guide. She showed both passion and knowledge of Gaudi and his works. She also was very accommodating of people in the group with mobility challenges. It’s always worth it to have a good guide!

Wonderful walking tour to explore 3 of Guadi's houses. Well-paced and very informative. Our guide, Katerina, was so much fun to spend the afternoon with.
