At first we waited and I thought the group was too big (20?), but we got head sets so that we could hear our awesome guide, Jordi. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He passed along so much information that helped me understand the history and emblemism! As a Barcelonian, he was able to share his own viewpoint on how special this ongoing project is!
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 .
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.
We were asked to be at the meeting point by 13:45 for a 14:00 tour. The guide arrived after us and proceeded to do admin. This meant that we stood in the sun for 45 minutes before entering the Sagrada Familia. However, from there on the guide was excellent, and interesting. And of course, the attraction was breathtakingly beautiful.
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!
Sagrada Familia is such an incredibly beautiful place and our tour guide, Juan, did a great job teaching us the history and explaining all of the intricate design elements. We went up in one of the towers at the end, which offered some great views of the city, but I wouldn't say it's a must do. Overall, a great experience!
Had two different addresses on same street supplied, waited at wrong one..finally got email .. name of agency should have been provided with address as it was right across the street from where we were. We walked to next block searching for wrong address. Fortunately it all worked out as the guide had not gone in with the group as yet... 15-20 minutes past the 9 am start time
Being in front of La Sagrada Familia was a completely overwhelming sensation. I spent my childhood seeing monuments and historical places in the history books and being able to see and touch it was a fantastic feeling. Barcelona has a lot of history to tell, it is a passionate city.
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.
The tour of the Sagrada Familia was the highlight of our 10 day, 3-city visit to Spain. Our guide was very knowledgeable in every aspect of the church’s history. She had extensive knowledge Gaudi’s. design work and the ongoing construction towards its completion to include the current efforts of artists, sculptors, architects and engineers. It was Amazing!!
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.
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.
