Barcelona Private Tours

Tour guide was brilliant. The tour started 30 minutes late though due to security checks which was quite frustrating with the waiting. Hey nice we were in though it was smooth sailing. Very short tour for the price and we purchased this ticket for the tower tour however it was closed.

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!!

The high price made us hesitate at first, but due to the rush and the rather high prices for a simple group tour, we booked this package. What can I say, it's worth every penny. Very informative, breathtaking atmosphere, background information from the very friendly guide. Would definitely book this again.

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!

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!

We were guided by Manou. And she was a great guide! Telling us in English about the Sagrada Familia in a very interesting way. One thing was hard to miss, is that many of the people sitting in front of the altar were sitting in a very innaprpriate way. It was written that it's a place of prayer. But many sitting with crossed legs, and guys one leg above the other, relaxing. I think guides can also help in this matter if they mention this and stress on appropriate behavior just as they asked to remove caps and sunglasses. By the way, the voucher said no shorts/dresses/sleevless tops, but many people entered the cathedral without issues. Unfortunately, I think it has become a more commercial place just so they can collect money for ths project. It was a bit sad.

Tour guide (Clara) met us promptly and was very informative at every step of the tour. She knew the history of the Sagrada Familia and so much of the back story. We walked through the interior, stopping at several important points where we were given background and highlights that enhanced our appreciation of the basilica. We ended the tour by taking the elevator up the tower and walking down the 400+ steps, enjoying great views on the way.
