Walking tours at Barcelona

The leadership was good. However, we had to wait quite a while for entry because the security staff at the entrance to the park probably didn't know. There were phone calls and discussions, and all of that passed away from our time. The tour was easy to understand and the guide was super nice. And he knew his stuff very well. It was a shame: we climbed up to half of the park, then onto the viewing platform, then back down to the pillars. In order to do the tour up to the viewing platform alone, we would have had to descend to the entrance again to walk the whole tour again - and that at 37 degrees. If we had known that beforehand, we would have gone on our own. Perhaps valuable information for future visitors.

This a great service ! Besides that they were very helpful with several administrative issues due to covid and changes the tour date (requested by us), the entire overall service and quality is on the top! Bravo! And many thanks to the entire involved team. And plus, The guide very professional, useful and very pleasant ! Many thanks!

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!

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

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 .

Guide was organised and on time. He explained how the tour would be organised clearly at the beginning. He was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the Família pointing out lots of details . Going up the tower was fabulous. The views from the top were unbelievable. Being able to explore on our own after the tower was a bonus. Also seeing the Família after dark with the stained glass windows showing their colours was great.

We opted for a guided tour, our guide was friendly and informative, we very much liked that he strolled us through the main areas of the park since it was a hot day. We learned how to look at the different areas and features of Gaudi’s structures to get the best out of them, we do not believe we would have seen them in this way if we had walked through the park without a guide, this made the tour very worthwhile for us. Since our visit fell on the Bank Holiday (10th June) it was very crowded which made taking photographs a little more difficult than it might normally have been but since that is not the most important aspect of any visit it did not bother us too much.

The tour was great! The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Individual audio systems worked well. The only issue separate from the tour was that the towers were closed because of weather conditions so I have the documentation from the tour company and wil be seeking a refund for that component.

Tour was very interesting, our guide Guadalupo is experienced and entertaining. Highly recommend visit time during sunny day esp in late afternoon to witness the glorious natural lights inside. Unfortunately we could not visit the tower and was only told just before starting tour and that some refund would be given.

The group was 30 people which was way too many for our guide (Lupe) to manage and as a consequence the experience was affected by too many calls to keep the group together and manoeuvre us all around the Sagrada Famiglia. The group should be no larger than 12-15 people maximum.

amazing place of worship! well worth a visit. the towers were also great - long, very narrow spiral staircase on the way down but there's a hand rail you can hold on to. lupe, our guide was awesome - shared latest info and general opinion along with the history of familia sagrada. spent about 3 hours here even though tour's just 2.

Wonderful experience! Our guide was a wealth of knowledge and charm as she guided us and introduced us to hidden sights that we had walked by numerous times and didn't even notice! Gave us a better appreciation for the buildings and history!

Mateo was an excellent guide and obviously enjoyed his job. With a great sense of humor and engaging storytelling, he created a sense of pride, joy, and knowledge of Monserrat. A stunning and spiritual trip we will never forget! Thank you Mateo! Highly recommended!

The information on the tour was good. It was stressful finding the tour guide because there is no “kiosk”. The guide shows up at designated time & general area. You just have to chill until the time then look fervently because there are a lot of tours.

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.

Christina was our host in rather a largish group and made each person feel special by tailor the tour to those who had some difficulty with the steps. The tour it's self took in all the fun facts about this Parc and its designer, Gaudi. Certainly a must do in BCN

The park was wonderful, magical no word is enough to describe it, the genius architect Gaudi made many structures in the park I highly recommend visiting the park for anyone coming to barcelona . One other thing the guide ( Jaime) was excellent, friendly and helpful and he has a lot of information .

Adria was a knowledgeable and engaging guide. He clearly communicated historical facts while keeping the tour moving along on a very hot day. Best of luck with the doctoral studies Adrian

The tour could have been alittle longer and much more informative.. it started late and a few people missed out bc they came with children and carriages.. they fell behind.. it’s truly nit fir little children.. I felt bad for our guide! They were very rude to him. And, he was very patient to not be disrespectful. All in all I heard much better explanations from other guides that were around us! And among us.. it’s a beautiful park the little game test, was fun.. he really tried, but the group was very difficult but we make the best of everything so, we enjoyed it.

Our tour to the Sagrada Familia was very good. The tour guide Lupe was very informative, knowledgeable and gave a detail explanation of everything we see. It makes a huge difference to experience the Sagrada Familia with the knowledge of a guide. For those who love art and history this is an awesome tour.

Some what difficult to find the starting point down Larrard St. Had to ask someone at the entrance to the Parc, but he did explain it. Waiting at the starting point was not fun when we had tried so hard to get there on time. Otherwise, a very good experience.

Amazing church and must be done with the tour guide otherwise you missed so much!! this was our favorite part of Barcelona trip! I would highly recommend it! Had the chance to go up the tower at the end and get a view of batcelona , highly recommend doing this as well.

If you’re fortunate enough to get Georgie as your guide, you’ll be in good hands. The tour was very well organized. It’s important to purchase the “skip the line” option, long wait otherwise. You start from the museum then move on to the church and a few stops to see the facade. It’s quite an experience. Our tour guide was outstanding and made the tour interesting and fun at the same time. The communication before the tour was very good as well. I would recommend this tour for anyone considering visiting Sagrada Familia. Please note; if it rains the day before or the day of the tour, the Towers will be cancelled.

I found that I left my printed voucher at hotel when we arrived the Park. Fortunately,the travel organiser had a list and we did not have problem when I explained the situation and showed my ID. It was a good start, the tour guide is professional and helpful. We had a good time.
