Pour un premier contact avec le modernisme catalan (Gausi, Domenech y Montaner) ou pour consolider ses connaissance en la matière, c'est un tour à ne pas manquer. Sur les sites visités, vous recevez des explications complètes et détaillées et des clés de lecture moins connue. Le visiteur est vite conquis! On refera ce tour lors de notre prochaine visite à Barcelonne, car c'était particulièrement enrichissant de point de vue culturel.

This was surprisingly a great tour. We did not have much expectation, we just wanted to get to know a bit on what we should see in Barcelona during our stay. But the tour guide lady was very very knowledgeable and passionate. We learned a lot and got super excited about almost everything.

Loved loved loved this tour and the later starting time of 1800 made the walk easier in the cooler part of the day. Saw so much and learnt so much. So exhilarating to see the espouse Gaudi buildings. Highly recommend.
