Juan Miguel (apologies if that is wrongly spelt) was our guide. We was efficient, professional and knowledgeable about the Sagrada Familiar. He obviously loves the place and passed his passion onto his tour group. I could not fault the tour and thank Juan. On arrival I was very happy that our tickets allowed Juan to lead us straight though security etc, bypassing a lot of people and up to the entrance. He knew where the best places to stop were and all the little things Gaudi imparted into his design. I would have missed them if not for having a guide. Well recommended.

A must see attraction. Visiting this place without a tour guide would have been worthless. There is so much history about how and why Gaudi created this masterpiece. Our tour guide Victor was wonderful. He gave very detailed explanations and took the time to answer our questions. Without his description at every point of the tour, just walking through would have meaningless. He was very professional and knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. Everyone appeared interested with the information he provided. Highly recommend this tour and tour guide.

Extremely detailed explanation; Sagrada Família is such a wonder in the world. I enjoyed the tour a lot. It took 1.5h but it’s not enough for such an enormous art. The guide talked about all essential stuff then after the tour, we revisited the whole church especially the museum section to grasp more info. Overall, no line, good guide, good value for money.

Met our guide outside the gift shop as planned. The tour was very informative. He started by explaining what we saw on the outside of the church before leading our group of about 20 inside. We did receive headsets which allowed us to hear our guide very well. He answered all our questions and provided an excellent tour . I highly recommend this tour!

The guide Juan Miguel was very good and the tour was really great and informative. Unfortunately, it didn't take as long as planned because the church was closed. We didn't know that in advance and we had actually planned - as we were promised - to stay a little longer and look around. Our guide seemed surprised too. Otherwise highly recommended.

Our guide Juan Miguel was absolutely brilliant, very informative and knowledgeable. We are not in the least religious but he made it so interesting and fun. I would highly recommend this company. We only booked the day before and had no issues whatsoever. Sagrada Familia is breathtaking and well worth a visit.

With Helena as your guide, you won't lose a crumb of your visit. You will discover all the details and representation that Gaudí wanted to share with us. We realize that really nothing is done at random. Not taking a guide would be a shame. Many thanks to Helena, it was a rich moment!

Great experience, would definitely recommend. Victor, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were running a few mins late but he was courteous enough to reach out to us to make sure we were able to make it. Tour was at a good pace with enough time for pics.

Great tour and guide, highly recommend. Our guide gave us an incredible amount of information that I would have never known without this tour. Audio equipment made it easy to hear the guide and there was plenty of time to take photos and take in all the beauty.

Details

Take a 1.5-hour guided tour of Gaudi's masterpiece to make your visit to the Sagrada Familia immemorable. Take in the Basilica's dreamlike exterior and interior on a private tour or in a small group with a knowledgeable guide.

You will learn about the ongoing construction, the anticipated completion date and how generations of artisans, architects and artists were educated to realize Gaudi's vision.

Before proceeding to the Basilica's entrance, your guide will meet you outside and begin the tour with a brief introduction. After passing through security, learn all about the Nativity Façade, the Basilica's first completed part.

You will then enter the Sagrada Familia's interior. Admire the world created by the stained-glass windows' intensely colored light and the ceiling's branch-shaped columns.

Gaudi wanted the interior to feel and look like a walk through the woods, with the light sifting through the leaves of the forest.

You will be informed about the Passion Façade, which depicts the crucifixion of Jesus, as you exit the Basilica. Through the tower's stark and angular sculptures the drama of the Passion will be vividly revived. Like the most of the Sagrada Familia, this façade was constructed after Gaudi's death.

Next, visit the Sagrada Familia Schools, which are for the children of those who worked on the Sagrada Familia. Learn how it was rebuilt multiple times and even relocated to make room for the Basilica.

Your final stop will be the Sagrada Familia Museum, where your guide will show you original plans and sketches that show how complicated Gaudi's vision and architecture were. Artifacts from Gaudi's life and the history of the Basilica, such as his upside-down model can also be found here.
