Barcelona: Sant Pau Recinte Modernista Entry Ticket

It was used as a public hospital for a century, and has now been refurbished to its former splendor.

What people are saying about Catalonia

Hi, I'm Afshin from Iran and today we had the chance to have Alberto as our tour guide for Guel Park and Sagrada Familia Basilica. It was much better than whatever we could imagine. Alberto is a very friendly guy with great knowledge of the history of art and architecture. My wife "Sara" is an architect and she was amazed to ask very detailed questions related to the Art Nuevo and Gotic style. Surprisingly, Alberto could answer her questions very briefly. Besides this, he is more like a friend who takes care of all the people in the group with a great sense of humor which makes you smile and don't get bored during 4 hours of walking and exploring the area. I'm more than happy that I booked this tour from "get your guide" and was lucky enough to meet Alberto. Of course, I recommend him to everyone who wanna travel to Barcelona. He's a person who loves his job and this is what made our day more enjoyable! Good luck Alberto and hope to see you again! Best Regards, Afshin & Sara

These two sites in Barcelona are amazing and seeing them in a small group (only 7 in ours) made a huge difference. It was a very personal tour with a fantastic guide (Jordi or George (in America). He explained so much and included stories that brought the experience of the creation/building to life. He helped (with things like stairs and getting the best photo from certain sites). Plus, he knew a great deal of history and was obviously deeply appreciative of Gaudi's works. He was the best guide!

Amazing tour!! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and had an awesome personality. Very easy to interact with. Did not feel rushed throughout the tour. Went at a great pace and was able to get amazing photos along the way. Would highly recommend booking this tour!

Plan for a few hours here! You can see the highlights in just a few (probably less than 1 hour). Just sitting and taking in the view from this vantage point is truly an amazing experience.

I was lucky to get Rog. He was very kind, patieent and told us EVERYTHING. I loved this tour, would definalety recomend it to friends and family coming to Barcelona <3
