Exploring the art & architecture of Barcelona on an escorted tour
Barcelona is synonymous with Antoni Gaudí, whose fantastical modernist creations defines the city's skyline. Our tour celebrating the life and works of Gaudí immerses you in his visionary world - from the undulating façade of Casa Batlló to the organic forms of Park Güell, and of course the breathtaking Sagrada Família.
The city's medieval heart, the Gothic Quarter contains narrow lanes opening onto churches and elegant squares. The Cathedral, with its cloisters and geese, embodies Catalan Gothic at its finest, while the Picasso Museum charts the evolution of the 20th century's most revolutionary artist through his formative Barcelona years.
Beyond the defining landmarks, Barcelona rewards the curious traveller at every turn - from the curves of the Liceu opera house to the jewel-like mosaics of the Palau de la Música Catalana, and the bold rationalist lines of the Fundació Miró.
And because Barcelona's culture is inseparable from its cuisine, we've designed tours that weave together art, architecture and Barcelona's remarkable culinary traditions. From the modernist splendour of the Boqueria market to family-run wine bars and celebrated restaurants, you'll discover how Catalan creativity extends deliciously from canvas and stone to plate and glass.
