Park Guell & La Sagrada Familia Tour
No visit to Barcelona would be worth its while without closely tracing the work of its most illustrious architect and most famous representative of Catalan Modernism: Antoni Gaudí. Accompanied by a private expert guide, we will visit the outside and inside of the Sagrada Familia. The iconic basilica and the most recognized work of the Catalan genius which, despite being a World Heritage site, is still under construction and guaranteed to leave no one indifferent. We will crown the trip at the district of Gràcia, where we will stroll Park Guell, a wonderful expanse where the union between nature and art is crafted in front of our eyes, another masterpiece of Gaudí to enjoy in depth and discover its incredible trencadís mosaic technique. A unique place to bring the great Modernist tour to a close, a masterpiece that reveals Gaudí’s boundless imagination.

Private Tour of the Picasso Museum
Barcelona’s beautiful Picasso Museum is an incredible enclave formed by five palaces, dated between the 13th and 14th centuries, and ideal to understand the artist’s origins. His formative years, along with the intimate relationship linking Barcelona with Picasso’s youth and up to his very death, are all told here. The museum’s permanent exhibition contains over 4,000 works for us to enjoy simultaneously with the poignant explanations of an expert guide. After the visit, we will delve even deeper into Picasso’s life by visiting the city’s first art gallery to have exhibited the work of the prolific painter-sculptor when he was barely 20 years old. This place has one of the oldest records in the world as an art gallery, to be counted among the seven oldest still active worldwide. Thanks to our private guide we will access not only the gallery’s exhibition, but also its recondite storehouses in a quest of discovery.

Group Dinner
When night falls and tourists leave the monuments and museums that have been so popular during the day, we will be arriving at Gaudí’s Casa Vicens Museum, the first relevant project by the architect since he graduated in 1878. With private and exclusive access to the museum and commentary by an expert guide, we will learn the secrets behind the walls of Gaudí’s Modernist phase, wherein his taste for the Oriental art and Arabo-Hispanic influences patently flourished. We will amble all along this architectural jewel of the late 19th century, which was declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005. While there, we’ll discover its anecdotes and its trivia. We’ll also admire its lively and varied colors when radiated by sunset, all while enjoying exceptional wine and delicious appetizers.
