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.

This guided to her by Victor was the highlight of our Barcelona trip. He was extremely informative and had so much detailed information and knowledge about La Sagrada Familia. He spoke clearly, loudly, great English, pleasant personality, all around a great tour guide that definitely enhanced our experience. I actually can’t imagine doing the tour by ourselves because we would’ve missed so much history and information. Even though it’s kind of a pricey tour when you’re buying tickets for a family, totally worth it!

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

Excellent and informative tour with guide Raul. Having advance ticket meant not waiting in line. Getting information about the structure, its history as well as information about Barcelona and Catalonia was invaluable in appreciating La Sagrada Familia.

Our guide was great. We would never have got so many interesting facts by doing it ourselves. No waiting to go in and we were kept fully informed all the time of what time we would have our tower visit. 9 am is a good time to go as it was very busy when we left. Hope to return in a few years time to see developments!

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 .

Good overall tour. The leader was efficient and was personable. I believe this person could add some more detail in the presentation but that is minor. It isn’t the easiest of venues to work in, for sure. The day was a good one; so no major complaints.

We were given the address of 301, then 311 for meeting the group. No one there. We tried to communicate with the tour group and got no place. We found out there are 2 311 addresses. Tour started 20+ minutes late. Sagrada Familia is a beautiful church. Need to be clearer on the meeting place.

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.

Sagrada Familia is such an incredibly beautiful place and our tour guide, Juan, did a great job teaching us the history and explaining all of the intricate design elements. We went up in one of the towers at the end, which offered some great views of the city, but I wouldn't say it's a must do. Overall, a great experience!
