TOUR DESCRIPTION & ITINERARY

For an unforgettable family adventure, The Great Gaudi Family Tour is your tour! This tour focuses on Antonio Gaudi and his creations in Barcelona, so look out for natural shapes, Dr. Seuss-like designs, and dazzling stained glass windows of oranges, reds, blues, and purples. If these eye-catching features       don't capture your kids' attention fast enough, just say the words "scavenger hunt" and "prizes" to your children, and they'll be all aboard for this 4 hour tour of some of Barcelona's most famous attractions including La Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, and Paseo de Gracia. 

Park Guell: If your kids have been craving a park-like setting on your vacation, then your family is going to love our first stop: Park Guell. While you'll revel in the beautifully designed individual houses with small gardens, your kids will enjoy the curvy roads and walkways that give them a chance to run around and release some energy. Not to mention that they will love the scavenger hunt that is included at this stop! 

La Sagrada Familia: For many families, seeing a sacred bucket list item like La Sagrada Familia might seem extremely daunting with young children, but viewing this church, which is one of Gaudi's almost finished masterpiece, is definitely doable when you have one of our fun, kid-friendly tour guides by your side. As you and your family go through this next stop in the tour, keep your eyes open while viewing the church's interior as it was designed to resemble a forest of trees among sparkling stained glass windows. 

Paseo de Gracia: Calling all children who are Dr. Seuss lovers! The last stop on this tour is Barcelona's Rodeo Drive, Paseo de Gracia. Before you guys leave to go get something to eat, your family will know the stories, history, and architecture behind the Dr. Seuss-like apartments designed by Gaudi. Some of the apartments include Casa Batllo, Casa Amatller, Casa Morera i Lelo, and La Pedrera. 

Ready to experience a fun time in Barcelona like never before? And yes, you really can see the beautiful sights of this city with your little (or maybe not so little if you got teenagers) munchkins. Transportation can be by taxi or by chauffeured van. If the family is bigger than 5 people, a van is highly recommended so that your little ones can sit comfortably. 

Don't forget that scavenger hunts are included in La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell!

FAQS

DOES THIS TOUR COVER JEWISH HISTORY?
No. The Jewish quarter is located in the Gothic Quarter and this tour does not enter that area. Please see one of our Gothic Quarter tours or Barcelona Highlights Tour if you wish to include that quarter on your tour. 
MY KIDS ARE TEENAGERS. IS THIS TOUR RIGHT FOR US?
Think of our scavenger hunts as escape rooms in the open air.  They are fun and exciting for everyone involved - especially the kids! The older your children, the more difficult the games.   Our games keep your mental skills awake as you are searching clues during the entire tour! 
CAN I CHANGE THE START TIME?
Absolutely, though we must know in advance.  Making last minute schedule changes in high season, April to November, can be tricky due to limited ticket availability.  Let us know in advance by dropping us a line:  ​nancy@enchantingbarcelonatours.com

"Great Tour"
We did the private Sagrada Familia and Park Guell tour via a private van. We have two young children (8 and 5) and this was the perfect tour for us. Eva, our tour guide, was fantastic!!! The kids loved her. They enjoyed the scavenger hunt at both the Park and Sagrada. She was always making sure that not only us but the kids were enjoying the tour as well. At the end of the tour she gave them some lollipops, which they were thrilled about. She was full of knowledge and talked about the history of Barcelona, Gaudi, the Park and Sagrada. 
Upon booking, Nancy was constantly in contact with us and made sure everything worked out and it did! We would definitely recommend this tour to families. What a great experience! Thank you Nancy and Eva!!!!

"Loved all of it!"
We only had one day in Barcelona - and I wanted to see so much! Nancy worked with me to come up with the perfect itinerary for our Family of 5. (a mixture of some of the Gaudi and Family Gothic tour with chocolate!) Our kids (ages 10, 8, 4) LOVED our guide, Anna, and she made it fun and engaging for all of us. We looked at several "kid-friendly" guided tours in Barcelona - and I am so pleased that we chose Enchanting Tours. Thank you so much for making this day so wonderful!
