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.

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!

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.

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.

Truly one of the most exceptional tours I have ever been on! La Sagrada Familia is such a stunning place with so much history! Our guide David Chancon went above and beyond to educate us about La Sagrada Familia, as well as Gaudi's other works and his life. He shared not only extensive details about the building and all of the beauty we were seeing, but also added in details about the building during others of the year, events, etc. to give a truly comprehensive understanding of La Sagrada Familia! I cannot recommend this enough!

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.

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.

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

The group was 30 people which was way too many for our guide (Lupe) to manage and as a consequence the experience was affected by too many calls to keep the group together and manoeuvre us all around the Sagrada Famiglia. The group should be no larger than 12-15 people maximum.
