This was a very nice tourist attraction with interesting architecture. I don't think the guided tour is worth it, the audioguide is very useful.

I have to laugh at the reviews that call La Pedrera "beautiful". It's yet another ugly Gaudi creation, this one even far uglier than Casa Batllo. Do yourself a favor and save your ticket money for other more interesting attractions.
Casa Milà - La Pedrera is another one of Antoni Gaudì's masterpieces. It is a beautiful building that beckons you to visit it.
Unfortunately, you are only able to visit a small section of the building which is really an apartment building. There are a few rooms you visit, but I would say 75% of the building is closed-off to tourists.
Also, one of the most fascinating facts about La Pedrera is that the Milà family actually sued Gaudì for going over budget and he won. Not a word of that is mentioned on the tour.
There is a photo op, which is handled sort of like a cattle call. You are shown four possible backgrounds at the register, but not allowed to choose. You get what you get.
The attic was our favorite section due to its beauty and the ability to take our time. The rest of the house felt rushed. Visiting the rooftop is amazing with gorgeous views.
Absolutely amazing, beautiful, informative and well organized. You will gain a true appreciation for the brilliance of Gaudi. This was one of the best experiences we have ever had. You will be in awe as we are. Highly recommend this tour.
This was a must see. The audio is very easy to follow, it actually triggers itself when you enter the various areas. No need to try and find the audio that goes with the room your in. This is a beautiful building and a lovely experience. A must see
We have visited Barcelona over 4 times, but this was the first time visiting Casa Mila.
Both my husband & I are seniors & handicapped. The staff at Casa Mila
made the visit very pleasant. There are elevators for disabled people - very convenient.
Only bad thing was we couldn’t walk around the rooftop. The elevator could take us to the rooftop, but we couldn’t walk around the rooftop. The steps were too steep and no handicap ramps. However, we were able to get a view of the rooftop , skyline and the busy exclusive shopping street below Casa Mila.
One final tip - get entrance tickets & audio headphones from TripAdvisor. There was a long line of people waiting to buy tickets at 9:45AM.
