Barcelona in One Day: Sagrada Familia, Park Güell and Old Town

Pickup time on this private day can usually be fitted around your plans, because the vehicle and your driver-guide are booked for your group and nobody else. You are collected from your hotel or apartment and start at Plaça de Catalunya, the central square, then walk a stretch of Passeig de Gràcia among its modernist facades before heading to Park Güell, where a skip-the-line ticket takes you past the general queue and onto the mosaic terraces above the city.

A drive across the Eixample grid brings you to Sagrada Família, the heart of the day, again with skip-the-line entry. After the basilica the route turns toward the sea, past Torre Agbar and Port Vell, stops high on Montjuïc Hill to look back at the city and the coast, and closes with a stroll in the Gothic Quarter that ends near Barcelona Cathedral. Your vehicle then takes you back to your hotel.

At €879 per group, for up to 6 guests, the fee covers the vehicle and driver-guide for all 8 hours, hotel pickup and drop-off, the Park Güell ticket, the Old Town walk and a guided visit of Sagrada Família's exterior. The basilica entry ticket is subject to availability; should it be unavailable on your date, the day runs as planned and €26 per person is refunded. Food, drinks and optional gratuities are extra.
