We had an excellent guided tour with a small group of English speakers who wanted to learn more about the unique Familia Sagrada and gain priority access to this structure, the second-most-visited temple in the world behind the Vatican! Our Spanish tour guide was excellent, showcasing all of the detailed scenes on the outside of the cathedral, then taking us inside to the beautiful sanctuary. We highly recommend this tour!

Lots of good, wine, walking and history! Our guide, Feliciano, was friendly, humorous and knowledgeable. A Barcelona native, he took us to tapas restaurants that have been family owned for generations, and gave us deep insights into the storied history and multicultural influences of Barcelona. A beautiful evening!
