One of the highlights of our trip was taking the Barcelona Architecture Walk (the name describes only one dimension of two fascinating hours). In a series of well-timed strolls and stops, Miguel presented Gaudi and Barcelona from a historic, artistic, commercial, philosophical and current day perspective. We had fun, learned a lot, and exercised our way into a well-deserved and... More

Insightful and interesting tour ( even if you are an architect!) Miguel was a brilliant guide with great knowledge and enthusiasm. We did the Gaudi tour which was a great start and intro to the city and how it was shaped. We will definitely do another tour next time we visit.

We loved our tour with Miguel and we are very glad that we did the Miralles tour rather than the more obvious Gaudi tour. What a tragedy that Miralles died so young as he was truly very talented. Miguel's passion for architecture, Barcelona and the work of Miralles really added to the enjoyment of the walk around beautiful Barcelona. You... More

Highly recommended experience.I took the ANTONI GAUDI tour and was very pleased. Miguel is a very professional and passionate guide. I learned a lot about the work and art of Gaudi and Miguel's interpretations of his work were fabulous and amazing. Seeing hidden places of Barcelona was great fun. Hope to take other BAW walks in the future. Baruch,Israel

A few months ago I did the Miralles tour with Miguel Angel, and this time around I went to the Gaudí walk. Amazing! Even though I am an architect and live in Barcelona, Miguel Angel's insightful, passionate commentary made me re-engage and take a new perspective on buildings I see almost regularly. Super interesting for both architects and non-architects alike.... More

Miguel is delightful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable Enjoyed how he delved into past history, and merged these periods into a greater understanding of Gaudi's work and architecture in general. We plan to go on some of the other BAW walks. Highly recommended.

Miguel lead our group of about a dozen on a miserable rainy day on a most interesting and insightful tour of Gaudi's work and its place in Barcelona's and architectural history. Not a stock tourist's look superficially at the standard sites, but a framing of his work, and the work of others in terms of the times by a passionate... More

This is my first review ever. My husband and three teen girls have enjoyed academic-led trips by other travel companies on previous trips to Europe. We decided to give BAW a whirl on our recent trip to Barcelona and we think the company is fabulous. It is small enough that the owner absolutely cares about your experience and will do... More
