Fantastic VIP tour of a the most beautiful house I've ever been in - Casa Batlló is so beautiful. I walked past it many times and noticed it has a beautiful exterior but never really paid too much attention to it, but thanks to a friend I had the opportunity to visit and it completely changed my perspective on the house.
It isn't just a house, it's a piece of art. The colors and the material, from the tile, to the cement, to the stone and wood. To the whites, blues, browns and gold, the place is so gorgeous. It gives the illusion that you are under the sea, or at least a house that is under the sea.
I went with my partner with with the VIP Tour with the chocolate breakfast and it was an amazing experience. We got there in the early morning before all the crowds which gave it an exclusive and special feel.
We went when the house was still quiet and we could appreciate the details and subtleties more. Also we could see how the house changed as the sun rose and the amount of sunlight increased. We were also with a few other people our age which made it a cool collective experience.
Our tour guide, her name is Dalia from Poland, gave us the history and details of the house. It make it more immersive as we understood why rooms looked the way they did, where we were in the house, what they were used for, and pointed out details we would have missed. She was very friendly and knowlegeable of Casa Batlló and Barcelona.
After the tour of the house we went next door to have the breakfast. The chocolate with whipped cream was delicious. We also had a chocolate pastry.
The experience was fantastic and I cannot recommend it enough.

Magical Experience - I took Casa Batlló private tour with breakfast and it was amazing. My tour guide was Daria. She explained everything so well and even waited for all of us to take the pictures whenever we wanted to. Moreover, the experience inside Casa Batlló was magical and beautiful. I really enjoyed the last part of the tour, which was "Gaudí Dreams" 360º experience. And the tour ended with hot chocolate and croissant at Casa Amatller.

great experience - Absolutely! Here’s an updated version with a mention of your guide:
Casa Batlló – A Masterpiece of Modernisme
Visiting Casa Batlló is a journey into the mind of Antoni Gaudí and a vivid example of Barcelona’s architectural ingenuity. Situated on the iconic Passeig de Gràcia, Casa Batlló stands out immediately with its colorful, almost otherworldly facade that feels like a living, breathing work of art.
The experience was made even more memorable by our guide, Tomas, whose knowledge and passion for Gaudí’s work brought every detail to life. His insights into the history and symbolism behind Gaudí’s choices made us appreciate the architecture in a new light. Tomas was engaging, patient with our questions, and knew how to make each stop along the way feel like a discovery.
Inside Casa Batlló, Gaudí’s vision shines—a blend of whimsical creativity and meticulous attention to detail. Curved lines, vibrant stained-glass windows, and organic shapes evoke nature, especially the sea, which Gaudí drew on for inspiration. The undulating staircases, mosaic tiles, and stained glass windows make you feel as though you’re walking through a dream.
The rooftop terrace is the perfect finale, offering breathtaking views of Barcelona and a closer look at Gaudí’s dragon-like ceramic tiles. Tomas pointed out how each element tied back to Gaudí’s vision, adding even more depth to an already awe-inspiring experience.
If you’re in Barcelona, Casa Batlló is a must-visit. It’s more than a museum—it’s an experience that brings art, architecture, and imagination to life, especially with a guide like Tomas. Highly recommended!

Best Tour to Beat the Crowds - The early tour of Casa Batllo is essential to see the casa to really take everything in before the crowds of people start tours inside. We had a really interesting and fun tour from Thomas and it’s such a nice way to start the day. The breakfast after was really nice and it was lovely to chill out after the tour :) highly recommend this tour of Casa Batllo!

Lovely early morning tour - Did the tour of Casa Batllo at 7:30am with Thomas and it was a lovely experience. We were there before the crowds so had the house almost all to ourselves. Thomas was a great guide, super friendly and with interesting facts about the house too!

Perfect to start the day. - Had the best time! The tour was very informative, the guide very likeable, and it was great to not have to wait in lines or deal with the crowded interiors of regular opening hours. The group was just the right size to be able to socialise a bit but also not feel lost in a group.
The breakfast was also delicious, the best hot chocolate I've had in years. Only comment is I feel some of the new media elements of Casa Battlo are a bit much. But of course this has nothing to do with the tour, more with the space. Highly recommend if you want to make your visit a bit more special.

Great experience - Zeynap was the best! Great personality & very knowledgeable. She gave fun insider tips & trivia. Having a private tour was well worth it. The chocolate at the end was “icing on the cake!” Literally!
