At first we waited and I thought the group was too big (20?), but we got head sets so that we could hear our awesome guide, Jordi. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He passed along so much information that helped me understand the history and emblemism! As a Barcelonian, he was able to share his own viewpoint on how special this ongoing project is!

It was a great, very informative & beautiful tour of the Sagrada Familia & Towers. We met at Julia’s Travel, broke down into small groups of about 20 people & took off to a quiet spot where we were given the historical background of the Sagrada. We were then taken to the East side, received our handsets with ear pieces & given great detail about the significance of the east & west sides with all the carvings & statues. Inside, our guide again stopped in great locations detailing how the light comes in through the stained glass. We were never hurried, lots of time for pictures & at the very end we were on our own to go up the tower. Make sure you have some one euro coins for the lockers as they don’t allow backpacks or large purses to go up the tower. The elevator that takes you up is small & the area at the top & coming down the winding steps is quite narrow, so backpacks & purses will hinder yours & others movements. Well worth it as you don’t stand in line for hours

The tour was very good once we got underway. We started later than scheduled and then due to queuing requirements of the basilica we did not enter the facility until 50 minutes after the hour. The guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

If you can't see but one thing on your visit to Barcelona, this is it. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the cathedral. It is spectacular. The view from the towers was breathtaking, but do heed the warning - it is 450 steps down a narrow spiral staircase. And totally worth it!

Because of the guide’s explanations I learned to appreciate the Sagrada Familia in ways I never could have just seeing it on my own. Our guide was especially engaging, drawing responses from the group and guiding us toward an understanding of the church and it’s creative architect Gaudi.

Had two different addresses on same street supplied, waited at wrong one..finally got email .. name of agency should have been provided with address as it was right across the street from where we were. We walked to next block searching for wrong address. Fortunately it all worked out as the guide had not gone in with the group as yet... 15-20 minutes past the 9 am start time

Marc was a fantastic guide, full of knowledge & very friendly, the only thing I would add, the meeting point was not very clear to us, if you mentioned to meet out the front of Julia shop, with the address, it would have been a lot clearer, we were looking for a corner .

La Sagrada Familia church is a must to see in Barcelona. A guided tour will give you a much more detailed and a more interesting experience than an audio-guide. I enjoyed every minute of our tour, outside and inside the church. I do appreciate our guide, Jane's knowledge that she shared us during the tour. I can recommend this programme to everyone.

Being in front of La Sagrada Familia was a completely overwhelming sensation. I spent my childhood seeing monuments and historical places in the history books and being able to see and touch it was a fantastic feeling. Barcelona has a lot of history to tell, it is a passionate city.

The fast-track option was really very convenient and worth it, I highly recommend it. I would not recommend visiting such a landmark without a tour guide. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and competent, we wouldn't know where to start and what to look at without his help. Besides that the whole tour went very smoothly and easily thanks to him having everything organized, otherwise it would have taken much more time with all entrances, long queues and security measures. I do recommend visiting the Sagrada Familia and then the towers at sunset, tour starting 4 or 5 pm, it is really beautiful and the view from the tower is breathtaking!
