More Than Just a Tour: Patrick’s Passion for Gaudí and Modernism Shines Through - Patrick's tour was one of the best ones I've joined in my years of travelling around Europe. He shared Gaudi and the Modernism architecture with such captivating emotions and stories that will transport you back into those days. I especially love the details he shared about the design inspirations and backgrounds of the families from those houses. They make the already magical houses become even more alive. On a side note, Patrick normally operates in small groups only so you can ask lots of questions and hear information more clearly, especially in the hustle of Passeig de Gracia. Throughout the tour, I have also seen many other tour groups come and go, but none seem to stop at a spot as long as we did, so if you want a thorough explanation of the buildings, I highly recommend booking Patrick's tour. You will love it and Barcelona more.

Patrick is a great storyteller! - We have visited Barcelona for the 3rd time and visited one of the Gaudi designed houses before but the tour was full of information we did not know. Patrick does a good build up for the tour and also shares some interesting Catalan story related to the buildings you'll see. It's not a long walk and definitely interesting, much recommended!

10/10!! - Patrick was amazing! This was the best tour I have taken when in Spain. He is very passionate about Gaudi and the architecture along the Passeig de Graçia, and that passion made me really excited about the information he was sharing as well. If you love history and architecture, this is definitely a tour you should book!
