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.
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
This guided to her by Victor was the highlight of our Barcelona trip. He was extremely informative and had so much detailed information and knowledge about La Sagrada Familia. He spoke clearly, loudly, great English, pleasant personality, all around a great tour guide that definitely enhanced our experience. I actually can’t imagine doing the tour by ourselves because we would’ve missed so much history and information. Even though it’s kind of a pricey tour when you’re buying tickets for a family, totally worth it!
Tour was decent and tour guide, Dolores, was pleasant and knew all little details about Sagrada Familia. Highly recommend. Went to the towers and that was ok. Not much to see and you need to walk down 400 steps. It was ok for me but some may not be able to.
The tour was very good once we got underway. We started later than scheduled and then due to queuing requirements of the basilica we did not enter the facility until 50 minutes after the hour. The guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
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 .
I would highly recommend booking through this company. I used them twice for my trip to Barcelona and on both occasions the guides were excellent. Our guide was George, he gave an extremely informative guide around the cathedral. Some very useful information which if you had gone alone would have surely missed.
La Sagrada Familia church is a must to see in Barcelona. A guided tour will give you a much more detailed and a more interesting experience than an audio-guide. I enjoyed every minute of our tour, outside and inside the church. I do appreciate our guide, Jane's knowledge that she shared us during the tour. I can recommend this programme to everyone.
We were given the address of 301, then 311 for meeting the group. No one there. We tried to communicate with the tour group and got no place. We found out there are 2 311 addresses. Tour started 20+ minutes late. Sagrada Familia is a beautiful church. Need to be clearer on the meeting place.
If you can't see but one thing on your visit to Barcelona, this is it. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the cathedral. It is spectacular. The view from the towers was breathtaking, but do heed the warning - it is 450 steps down a narrow spiral staircase. And totally worth it!
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.
It was a nice experience. The guide was nice, she gave us the basic informations, for me it was enough. It's good to go early to first entry, there wasn't lot of people. sadly it was rainy and stormy this day, so we wasn't able to go to the tower, but after the refund ask I recived money of tower entry back quickly so no problem.
