Overview

This walk, booked on GuruWalk, spends two hours 30 minutes on Antoni Gaudí and the modernist architecture of Passeig de Gràcia, ending at the Sagrada Família. It starts at Plaça de Catalunya and moves into the Eixample, where the guide frames the buildings of the Block of Discord: Casa Lleó Morera, Casa Amatller and Casa Batlló stand together on the same stretch of Passeig de Gràcia. From there the route continues to La Pedrera before the group takes the metro to the Sagrada Família, where the walk finishes.

The tour is a walk, pay what you want: booking costs nothing and you decide what to give the guide at the end. It runs in English and Spanish. The route has six stops, and the tour details show the first few, so the full line-up is best confirmed on the walk's own page before you go.

It suits travellers who want the Gaudí story and the Eixample context in one guided stretch rather than reading plaques alone.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points are worth knowing before you reserve, since this walk crosses a wide stretch of the city and uses public transport partway.

Bring a metro ticket. The route needs a metro ticket to get from La Pedrera to the Sagrada Família. This is on top of whatever you choose to tip.
Walking pace. The walk lasts two hours 30 minutes and covers the Eixample as well as the final metro leg. Comfortable shoes make the distance easier.
Finding the guide. Walkers are told to look for the pink umbrella at the start. Meeting at Plaça de Catalunya, check you are with the right guide before setting off.

“Luke was a great guide who knows the story of Gaudi so well. Able to navigate the tourist crowds around the hot spots really well. Brought the story of the Sagrada Família up to date. Great advocate for his subject and his city. Paul and Maureen”

Paul, GuruWalk review of Gaudí Houses and Sagrada Combo

Earpieces. The tour uses earpieces so walkers can hear the guide. Budget for that alongside the metro ticket.
Language choice. The walk runs in English and Spanish. Check the departure language on GuruWalk when you book so you join the walk you can follow.
Extras flagged. Read that page before you go for exactly what applies.

Common issues. The honest limits are the ones the operator states directly. The metro leg between La Pedrera and the Sagrada Família is not covered, so you pay for that ticket yourself. Pickup is not part of the offer; the walk starts at a fixed meeting point at Plaça de Catalunya.
