Details

Take a knowledgeable guide on a tour of the La Sagrada Familia cathedral and enjoy a Barcelona's most famous landmark in the morning light.

During this tour you'll take in the bounty of Gaudi's genius. The Sagrada Familia is legendary for its striking architecture and art features. Antoni Gaudi, a modernist architect, was completely consumed by it. Construction began in 1882 and has not been completed.

During the tour, your guide will point out the different facades of the nativity and the passion. You will also learn about the Holy Family's representations and symbolism as a stone-built expression of Christian ideology, carved in stone.

As you learn about the history of the church, pay attention to the Christian iconography. The roof is supported by angled pillars that look like a web of tree branches.

The Museu Gaudi is located below the surface. Strolling through its rooms you'll discover some important information about Gaudi's life and work. Besides that, there is a viewing platform above the architect's burial site and a crypt where masses are held.

We booked a 9:30 am tour on a Friday morning and it was a great time to visit. Maybe the light wasn’t ideal but it was still very beautiful. Our tour guide was very informative and we thought the information provided was fabulous and not too much. Beautiful place, unlike anything we’ve ever seen!

This was a lovely tour, I would highly recommend going in with a guide as there is so much to see and learn about, our guide Manu was excellent! She had a lot of knowledge to share and kept us engaged in her explanations on what we were looking at. I found the tour informative and interesting. Once the tour is over you can stay on and look around more, the tower was an awesome experience- absolutely breath taking views from the top, the stairs on the way down are a very steep and narrow spiral staircase so bare that in mind when booking. We found the whole experience well worth the money spent, honestly the Sagrada Familia is out of this world!

Guide was awesome and very knowledgeable! I cannot imagine visiting the cathedral without a guide now as he offered a lot of insight. It was easy to hear because we had headphones too. We were not allowed tower access unfortunately but the guide made up for it by extending our tour. This cathedral is unlike anything you'll ever see. It's a must visit!!

The meeting point was clear and the waiting Guides friendly and approachable. We were given lots of information about La Sagrada Familia in an informal and interesting way. Once in La Sagrada Familia the Guide gave us plenty of time to marvel whilst still guiding us and telling us stories of the various points within the basilica.

Clara was an excellent tour guide making our experience at Sagrada Familia much more enjoyable. Having a personal tour guide versus just having the audio guide gave context and interaction with the ability to ask questions enhanced the visit. Highly recommend this tour experience. Thanks Clara!

The private tour, with our guide Sara, was so worth the extra price for my husband and me. Sara, our guide, took the time to explain things and answered any questions we had, no matter how silly or stupid they sounded. She gave us the time to take lots of photos and even showed us a few tricks about getting the best shot. Going as a private tour made it much easier to get around and hear everything that Sara was telling us. The only negative was we did not get to do the tower tour, due to no time slots available, but I contacted the company and they refunded the difference. Spend the extra money and book a private tour. You won't be disappointed If you are lucky, you will have Sara as your guide.

We had an incredible time touring the cathedral. Our guide was a Barcelona born woman who handled the large group very well. In spite of the crowds all around, she gave an excellent presentation of the history and all aspects of this amazing place. I strongly recommend that you do not do this place on your own with just the headsets. The tour offers a far more immersive experience. Also, don't skip the tower access. Yes it's 100 steps above the elevator and then 400 steps down but it's not that hard. The circular stairwell is narrow and a bit too dark, but there are several stopping points to pause and see that view. Plus you are literally facing the workers building the latest columns. Please don't pass up this tour!

Our guide Manu was wondeful!! Despite the crazy unfortunate weather that was happening and that we weren't able to up to the tower she was super informative and we learned so much from her. Because of the weather our original group was supposed to be 23 and it ended up just being 4 of us. and she made everything personal and was just wonderful! thanks Manu!!

Our tour guide was great. The beginning of the booking was a little disjointed due to late comers. The tour guide knew quite alot about the site, as well as Barcelona in general. She made getting through the security checkpoint very easy for us. Would recommend getting the tower access.

Book in advance in a must. We arrived to meet our guide, there was confusion of how many people were booked with Amigos tours and the guide asked if 2 people in the group would wait until the later session 2 hours later at 5.30pm. None of us volunteered and the office was contacted and asked to speak with named people in the group. Eventually 45 minutes later we was all allowed in. Sagrada Familia inside is absolutely amazing, spectacular and stunning. we had audio guide inside and it felt a little rushed (which I think was due to the delay getting into the church) The group was divided at the end for the tower view. We was refused entry for the towers due to it being too late? Which was very disappointing and the guide asked us to contact the office to get a refund for the towers. We was refunded £10 for 2 people? But it wasn't about the money it was about the whole experience of visiting the church and towers.
