During this 5 hour private tour you will discover in detail the three hidden gems of Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona City: Casa Vicens, Palau Güell and Bellesguard. We will visit them in the chronological order in which they were built so you can have a deep understanding of the evolution of this unique architect’s work.
First, we will visit Casa Vicens (1883-1888). Shortly after finishing his architecture studies, the young Gaudí was commissioned by Manuel Vicens to build a summer house for him and his wife on the land he had inherited. The building is imaginative, modern and innovative and for the first time he uses many of the structural, decorative and symbolic elements which came to define his architectural language. In the building you will see many styles that influenced all his works: japonism, islamic art and nature.
Then, if you feel like enjoying a coffee, we will stop in an exclusive Patisserie overlooking this unique building. The drink can be accompanied by a pastry from a well known bakery in Barcelona.
After, we will go to Palau Güell (1886-1888), a construction that represents the zenith of Gaudí’s youthful period. There, your private guide will explain you about the relationship between Gaudí and the bourgeois and mason Eusebi Güell, an entrepreneur who profited greatly from the industrial revolution in Catalonia in the late 19th century. Other works that a result of the relationship between Gaudí and Güell are the Park Güell or the Pavellons of Finca Güell.
Palau Güell was a milestone of European architecture in its time and it may be considered one of the pioneering buildings of the Art Nouveau movement, standing out above all for its innovative conception of space and light. Gaudí applied a set of highly diverse solutions based on very personal approaches, and he created some exceptionally expressive forms like the catenary arches, working with high-quality traditional materials (stone, wood, wrought iron, ceramics, glass,…).
Finally, it will be the time to move to Torre Bellesguard (1900-1909). The Gaudinian building is escorted by a great dragon, the Dragon of Bellesguard, one of its best-kept treasures, and a witness to the passing of time and to change. On the upper part of the roof terraces, Gaudí designed a “sentry walk” around the four façades, with spectacular views of the city of Barcelona, that make the building worthy its name, Bellesguard, which may be translated as “beautiful view”. If during this private tour you feel like having a couple of violonists musicians playing for you in this idillic place, we can arrange it for you at an extra cost.
The site of Bellesguard has a lot of history and it was an important place more than 600 years ago. In 1408 it became a royal and papal residence and for two years it was the main home of King Martin I the Humane from 1396.
After five hours of discovery we can leave you in a nearby restaurant located inside an Art Nouveau building and situated less than a kilometer away from the end of the private tour, and we can book a table for you with no extra charge.

For your convenience, our chauffeur-driven service provides hassle-free pickup and drop-off at your Barcelona hotel or accommodation, or a central city point. However, as the tour finishes near midday, we highly recommend an alternative: being dropped directly at an exceptional Art Nouveau restaurant just a short stroll from Bellesguard. Choosing this option cuts down on your travel time and gives you extra time to fully enjoy Gaudí’s three masterpieces before settling in for a luxurious, well-located lunchtime experience.

Although Sagrada Família is not included in this private tour, we have to say that it is the undisputed top attraction in Barcelona and is frequently ranked among the most essential and beloved landmarks in all of Europe. More than just a church, Antoni Gaudí’s monumental work is the ultimate symbol of Catalan Modernism, renowned for its visionary architecture that mimics a soaring, stained-glass forest and tells the story of Jesus’ life across three richly symbolic facades. Its profound importance lies in its status as an expiatory temple—funded solely by public donations—a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a living testament to a 140-year construction effort that blends nature, faith, and architectural genius into an unparalleled structure.
To ensure you secure entry to this breathtaking wonder, avoid long queues, and choose your preferred visiting time, we highly recommend that all visitors book their tickets in advance. This is an absolute necessity, especially during peak season, as the site regularly sells out.
