Well worth doing - An excellent way of seeing and learning about Gaudi. Lisa was very informative, took us around at a good pace, kept us in the shade as it was a very hot day and generally was very hospitable. I would recommend her and this trip.

Outstanding Gaudi free walking tour - The Gaudi tour was superb! Albert was our tour guide, he was knowledgeable, energetic, thoughtful and speaks perfect English. The tour covered a tremendous amount about Gaudi and has architecture but also was woven in with the history of Spain. I highly recommend!

A gem of a tour for Gaudi fans - Really engaging tour with Jarrod. I learned more about Gaudi than I ever had. Also, a great intro to the Barcelona Metro. Jarrod gave my family and I good tips on how to stay safe in Barca, as well. He told us to be vigilant, but not afraid re: petty theft. I recommend this tour!
