The familia Sagrada with Martha

Velda_S, Dec 2024

The whole building has so many different meanings. Martha explained as much as she could in 1 1/2 hours. The view from the tower was great

Great tour experience!

Michelle_M, Dec 2024

The tour guide was extremely knowledgable about the Sagrada Familia and Antoni Guidi. It was a great tour!

I must have...

Ken_B, Dec 2024

I must have misinterpreted what I signed up for or the sign up process wasn’t clear. Our tour was in English and Spanish which made it really difficult to follow any kind of flow. I definitely would have wanted the English only version.

Spectacular architecture

Dean, Dec 2024

This is an architectural and cultural marvel... Our guide excelled at explaining the subtle and intricate symbolism in Gaudi's design!

La Sagrada Familia tour in Barcelona

Nice Quick tour with friendly guide

Rose_M, Dec 2024

Fantastic Experience

Frances_H, Dec 2024

Our guide was passionate, knowledgeable and very articulate and enhanced my experience and understanding of Sagrada Familia. She was very good at keeping the group gathered in areas affording excellent views. Could not have been better!

Very informative

Kathryn_H, Dec 2024

Excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept the tour both informative and engaging. Highly recommend!!

Amazing experience

lisasabia, Nov 2024

The expressions on the faces of the statues were so realistic and relatable. The outside was more impressive than the outside.

Take this tour of the Familia Sagreda!

Julie_H, Nov 2024

Our guide brought us right into the Sagreda Familia. She thoroughly explained the history, the materials used to build the Sagreda Familia, the meanings of the stained glass and statues, etc. We would definitely not have appreciated our visit without having someone explain what we were looking at.

Beautiful and worth it!

Christina_C, Nov 2024

It was absolutely beautiful and worth seeing. We really enjoyed it. You can hear the guide clearly through the earbuds they provide and it's not too long, so you have time to go walk around more on your own. The group was a little big but overall, we were pleased with it.

Amazing tour in Barcelona!

Peetaa_N, Nov 2024

From the check in process all the way to the end of the tour it’s been amazing. Our guide Cassandra was amazing. Spoke fluent English and took time to explain in details. Highly recommended. Btw don’t buy coffee or breakfast across the street, they aren’t very good lol.

Awesome Sagrada Tour

Linda_C, Nov 2024

This was the tour we were looking forward to on the whole trip. And, it did not disappoint. Our tour guide David was so informative and we were lucky to have a sunny day to witness the breathtaking light show inside

Magnificent basilica

chip_o, Nov 2024

The design was overwhelming. The guide was difficult to hear. The audio equipment was not good. Would think about doing a self guided tour

Very good guided tour of the interior of Sagrada Familia. Gracias Josef.

Bob_B, Nov 2024

Very good guided tour of the interior of Sagrada Familia. Do not attempt going inside without a guide!

The tour was a rip off

Catherine_S, Nov 2024

The guide was awful. He repeated things that no one care about. He was hard to find at times. For 187.00 and the tour lasted 40 mins I really think we deserve some kind of a refund. I will not suggest your tour service to anyone for that tour. He name was Emilo

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Dear Catherine_S Thank you for sharing this review, It saddens me to learn that you were not satisfied with the Sagrada Familia guided tour, I would like to inform you that we received no other claim of this type from the rest of the attendants on this tour, Nov 23rd at 16h. Please bear in mind that the durations begings with the commentary of the outside while the group walks to the groups entrance. Best regards,

Highly recommend!!! Take this your!

Meagan_A, Nov 2024

This was an amazing tour and we highly recommend to everyone visiting Barcelona. Our guide, Claudia(?) was wonderful-very knowledgeable, kind, and kept us all together while the space was busy. Learning about its history and beautiful design was so meaningful. Don’t think twice-book this tour, skip the line to get in and be amazed by its beauty!

Church

Terryl_A, Nov 2024

Accent hard to understand guide. Beautiful church and amazing views. Anything by Gaudy is fantastic to see.

Good Tour

Linda_B, Nov 2024

Our guide was very informative. I would choose a smaller group next time as it was sometimes hard to find her.

Good Summary Tour

Daniel_B, Nov 2024

This tour provided good top-level insight to Sagrada Familia and the designer/architect. It was an impressive structure and a highlight of our vacation.
