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 .
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!
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.
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.
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!!
Our guide was great. We would never have got so many interesting facts by doing it ourselves. No waiting to go in and we were kept fully informed all the time of what time we would have our tower visit. 9 am is a good time to go as it was very busy when we left. Hope to return in a few years time to see developments!
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
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.
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.
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
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.
