Tour was very interesting, our guide Guadalupo is experienced and entertaining. Highly recommend visit time during sunny day esp in late afternoon to witness the glorious natural lights inside. Unfortunately we could not visit the tower and was only told just before starting tour and that some refund would be given.

The kayak tour was great! I was with my two teenage granddaughters and the guide was very nice in watching out for us. The weather kicked up and we were being pushed away from shore. Irwin (?) came and towed us in. I thought I would end up in Africa! Then we missed the next tour and Audrey, his assistant, helped us with the arrangements. Very nice people!

Our tour to the Sagrada Familia was very good. The tour guide Lupe was very informative, knowledgeable and gave a detail explanation of everything we see. It makes a huge difference to experience the Sagrada Familia with the knowledge of a guide. For those who love art and history this is an awesome tour.

We can definitely recommend this tour. The guide David was very good to follow and also had a lot of inside knowledge about the Sagrada Familia. He first showed us around the church and at 4pm (the tour started at 2:15) he dropped us off at the tower lift to go up. From there on you are on your own and can take as much time as you want to explore the church.

Overall an amazing experience! Skip the line tickets were the best idea, the guide was very knowledgeable and efficient. I recommend getting there with time to spare, as the area is very crowded and it took some time to pinpoint the meeting place (even with Google Maps) and there are very many groups meeting there.

Our guide Rosa was excellent. Six years ago I toured La Sagrada Familia and this tour was more interesting and informative then the tour we did 6 years ago. Rosa was wonderful. We learned so much. I loved the tower portion as well. You take an elevator up and walk down. It was so fantastic getting up close to the decor of the Basilica on a tower and being able to watch some of the construction too. Rosa was excellent. I’m so glad I toured La Sagrada Familia again.

The information on the tour was good. It was stressful finding the tour guide because there is no “kiosk”. The guide shows up at designated time & general area. You just have to chill until the time then look fervently because there are a lot of tours.

amazing place of worship! well worth a visit. the towers were also great - long, very narrow spiral staircase on the way down but there's a hand rail you can hold on to. lupe, our guide was awesome - shared latest info and general opinion along with the history of familia sagrada. spent about 3 hours here even though tour's just 2.

Guide was organised and on time. He explained how the tour would be organised clearly at the beginning. He was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the Família pointing out lots of details . Going up the tower was fabulous. The views from the top were unbelievable. Being able to explore on our own after the tower was a bonus. Also seeing the Família after dark with the stained glass windows showing their colours was great.

Rosa met us outside the Sagrada familia and the group was 30 people. She managed a large group like this with ease and managed to make it feel very personalized and intimate. It was clear that she performs the tour with passion and love for the subject matter
