Our visit to this beautifully colourful church was wonderful. Entering first thing in the morning, the sun coming through the windows cast beautiful colour onto the interior column. The church was also not too busy. Our guide Ara (?) was passionate in her knowledge about the history of the church.

My friend lost her passport the day of the tour and we had to deal with that immediately. That meant that unfortunately we were unable to attend the tour. There was no availability on any other day while we were in Barcelona. We were told we could not get a refund.

We are glad we did this tour as we couldn’t have gotten into the Sagrada familia otherwise. However, we couldn’t understand what our guide was talking about. It wasn’t his accent; his words were like phrases that were strung together that didn’t make any sense. I would still do it just to get into the church which is magnificent.

Paula was a great tourguide! She was so knowledgeable but also approachable with questions. I learned so much about Sagrada Familia and Gaudi’s life through her. (I would just comment that the mic wasnt the best so some sounds were muffled some times)

Anastasiya_S

We had a wonderful tour of Sagrada Familia!! Our guide Robert was very knowledgeable, and he made it so interesting we wished his tour could last 2-3x longer! What a beautiful time. 10/10 recommend.

Jillian_F

Our guide Marc, was very knowledgeable about the history and meaning surrounding Sagrada Familia. He moved a group of 25 efficiently and was excellent at explaining the details and relevance of each element. I would definitely recommend him as a guide.

There are no words. The cathedral just blew our minds. So glad we did the optional upgrade of Going up to the Tower. Coming down was quite an experience. Our guide Marc was brilliant.

Mary_W

Our guide whose name is difficult to pronounce, something like Orancía. She is a wonderful guide, so knowledgeable and kind. Sagrada Familia is definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona. Then we went up the tower and walked down 400 steps. The views are spectacular!

We really enjoyed our tour of Sagrada Familia, and learning about the history of building it, as well as lots of interesting tidbits from our guide! Seeing the inside was breathtaking, with all the beautiful colors of stained glass and the architecture. It was nice not to have to stand in line to purchase tickets and going through security was quick & easy. We met our guide pretty early (9:15 am), so the crowds weren't as bad as later in the day (but it was still pretty busy!). I am giving it 4/5 since I wish the tour was a little longer. The tower tour was not available at the time we booked this experience, so it is best to book early!
