FamilyVerified booking2 days ago5/5The booking process was hassle-free; there are guided tours available in all languages—the German tour was great. Our guide introduced Park Güell in a way that was both understandable and interesting for everyone, and he took short breaks along the way to take photos, have a drink, rest, and so on. He also shared some tips for other interesting excursions and local restaurants, as well as information on how to get back to downtown or to your accommodation after the tour of the park. Kudos to a super-friendly guide who puts his heart and soul into his “work.”DDumitru D
GroupVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5The panoramic terrace (Plaça de la Natura): Sitting on the very long bench shaped like a sea serpent isn’t just comfortable thanks to Gaudí’s ergonomic design—it also offers one of the most spectacular and frequently photographed views in all of Barcelona, with the sea in the background and the two little houses at the entrance (which look like they’re made of marzipan) right at your feet.MMc C
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5We loved everything… except the heat, of course! 😁 But that’s not your fault. A big round of applause for Bernart, our guide, who made this tour fascinating by immersing us in the history of Gaudí and Park Güell. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!TT S
GroupVerified bookingLast week5/5We went with Crown Tours and had Steven, who was a really awesome guide. He showed us the park and gave amazing facts and insights into the gardens and Gaudi's influence, not only on designing the gardens but for buildings across the city. Well worth the visit.
