I thoroughly enjoyed the Sunrise guided English tour to Casa Mila. There were only 3 of us in the tour and we were the first ones in. Our guide Laia, promptly welcomed us at 8:30am at the entrance of La Peter's (casa mila). we took the lift to the rooftop to start and had it all to ourselves. the views of Barcelona were stunning and were enhanced by the history lesson given by our guide. We could see Sagrada Família from a distance and we happily took pictures. We took our time at each level and had our fill of pictures and information. one thing to note was there were steps and stairs on our way down to not for the mobility impaired.

I went to with the early bird acces and it was amazing, since it wasn’t crowded and I could walk around admiring the house in my own pace. We were able to walk through the whole house with the audioguide and AR experience. which made the visit even better. I also liked taking the picture on the balcony (additional cost); it made a nice memory of our visit. overall, it was a wonderful experience!

Thanks to Jelly, our guide, it was easier and more fun to understand Gaudi's architecture! The weather was a bit rough, but I was glad that Jelly made us feel good by guiding us with quizzes and humor in between. He kindly guided us through everything, so you can come without any knowledge, and the smooth progress without delays or waiting was so great! Thank you for telling me Barcelona recommendation tips in between. Highly recommended!

I was looking forward to and anticipating the Gaudi tour, and I finally participated. They say Barcelona is sunny 360 days a year, but unfortunately, I got one of the 5 rainy days ㅠ. But even so, it was fun and easy to understand as I listened to guide Kim Geon's explanations while moving around. That's why I felt even more disappointed that the weather wasn't better ㅠ. I definitely want to take the tour again next time when the weather is nice. Guide, thank you for your hard work explaining everything so passionately while braving the rain and wind! I was shivering from the rain, but I warmed myself up with a bowl of pho at one of the restaurants introduced by the guide ^^.
