Architecture · DESSERT TOURS
Good dessert tours run on timed slots and the good hours go first. Below: the 2 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spend four hours with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide at Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, with artisan chocolate at Chocolate Amatller between them. Guides such as Carla, Eduardo, Montse, and Diana have led past tours. Meet near the Loewe store, or choose private hotel pickup.
“We had a good time with our guide, Montse, who was informative in a most delightful way.”
Start on Passeig de Gràcia with Casa Lleó Morera and Casa Amatller, then visit Casa Batlló and La Pedrera with an English-speaking licensed guide. The four-hour tour includes rooftop views, four artisan bonbons, hot chocolate, and a group of no more than 15 people.
“We had a lot of fun with Francesca, who took her time to really highlight what makes these two iconic houses so special and so different. The early-ish start allowed us to miss the worst of the crowds, but she also deftly maneuvered us past those who had to pose for selfies at every turn. If seeing these stunning Gaudi creations wasn’t enough, the chocolate tasting exceeded our expectations: We left fulfilled, both literally and figuratively!”
