TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
|
The city of Barcelona has grown exponentially during the last century and a half. When the city walls could no longer hold the vast amount of people who came to Barcelona, an expansion plan was put into place; The Ensanche or Eixample, grew to incorporate the surrounding villages and Barcelona changed from a small Mediterranean city into a thriving industrialized city. With the increase in wealth amongst the upper classes, came the introduction of unique buildings by Antoni Gaudi, that have indisputably left their cultural and architectural mark on the city.
You will be met you guide and a private adapted vehicle at your hotel to start the tour that will take you thought the creative process of Gaudi. You will start by visiting the very first house he designed, Casa Vicens, before moving on to see his almost finished crowning masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia, before ending our tour seeing his fabulous apartment buildings - Casa Battló and Casa Mila. This tour is accessible for both wheelchair users and slow walkers. The stops that will be made are all easily accessible. Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, due in part to the unique architecture of Antonio Gaudi. Born in 1852 just outside Barcelona, Gaudi grew to be one of the most influential architects of the Modernista movement and built many of his greatest works in Barcelona. Inspired by nature, buildings designed by Gaudi are unmistakable. This tour, which includes transportation via adapted taxi or adapted chauffeured van, focuses on these one-of-a-kind creations, showing you the highlights of Gaudi’s work in this city.

"Gaudi and Chocolate"
We took four different tours with four different guides around Barcelona. My wife is disabled and uses a scooter to get around. Our guides were first rate - patient, knowledgeable, and personable. We plan to visit Barcelona again and will certainly use Enchanting Tours (hopefully with the same guides). We can't recommend them enough.

"Remembering Barcelona"
Elena made that day special and heighten our cultural experience and discoveries of Barcelona through her stories. We learned so much. Our tour had a van that drove us to all the high points of Barcelona, the details of the outstanding architecture, and much more. My favorite and most memorable moment was Gaudi's masterpiece of the Sagrada Familia. The soaring columns and the details were remarkable. We all had a great time and having Elena, a local country person of Barcelona to show us around her beautiful city is a must have if visiting Barcelona.
