I loved my Segway experience! This was the perfect start to explore the city and get to know my surroundings. Karine, our guide, is the absolute best. I would definitely recommend her to anyone booking a tour. The Gaudi tour is 2.5 hours, the perfect amount of time for us and well worth it, the Segway was easy to ride and the sites were fantastic!! Very enjoyable
Why this tour?

You’ll see the famous architecture of Antoni Gaudí: the iconic Sagrada Familia, the Casa Batlló, and also the Casa Milà (“”La Pedrera””) on the Passeig de Gracia – one of Barcelona’s most celebrated boulevards.

More about the tour
You will also visit lesser-known modernist landmarks, designed by architectural pioneers like Josep Puig i Cadafalch and Lluís Domènech i Montaner. Among these, are buildings like the Casa Fuster, the Casa de les Punxes, and the Casa Amattler, a luxurious property in Eixample commissioned by a wealthy chocolate tycoon in 1898.
Another highlight of the tour is La Monumental, the last bullfighting arena where bullfights were held before being banned by the Catalonian parliament.
In addition to the Eixample district, this Segway tour also takes you on a quick escape to the main square of the Gràcia district, the Plaza de la Vila de Gràcia. Interestingly, the Gràcia district was not originally connected to Barcelona’s old town ‘La Ciutat Vella’ (comprised of the Gothic quarter, the Born, the Raval and the neighbourhood next to the beach, La Barceloneta).
Gràcia was in fact established in the 17th century and remained an independent municipality until being formally annexed by Barcelona in 1897. On the square you will witness the distinctive bell tower and the former city hall: La casa de la Vila de Gràcia.
Being one of Barcelona’s most picturesque and cosmopolitan districts, Gràcia is home to the city’s young bohemian scene. It consists of low-story buildings and small alleys full of boutiques, restaurants and art galleries – the type of vibrant local culture Barcelona is renowned for.
