Excellent tour of Sagrada Familia! Very educational and easy to understand our tour guide Monica. She was a pleasure
It’s a place you have to see if in Barcelona. It’s unbelievable! Our tour guide did a great job. It’s breathtaking.
I can’t express into words the experience I had visiting La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. It was such an amazing, wonderful, beautiful experience. The tour guide was amazing. We really loved to enter an amazing Basilica. The history and all the meaning in that amazing construction and the years it took to get where it is today is incredible. Loved the history behind all those amazing walls.
We had a fantastic tour of the Sagrada Família with Isaac today! Greetings from Claudia and Ben from Australia 🇦🇺 Isaac was the perfect mix of funny and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the history and architecture come alive with fascinating stories, while keeping the tour entertaining from start to finish. His passion for the Sagrada Família really showed, and the time flew by. We had such a lovely experience and learned so much. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona. Thanks again, Isaac, for making our visit so memorable!
Great tour and our guide Guadalupe (Lupe) was wonderful. Easy to figure out meeting point. 5-star experience.
Our tour guide was so informative and didn't a great job of giving everyone a chance to see what he was talking about and ask questions. We had 14 total in the tour and it was just the right size. Easy meeting point and we were able to really learn all about this amazing church.
Our guide, Monica, did a great job explaining the history of the building, the important features and symbolism, and the future plans. Her English is excellent. The audio devices worked well. Group size was manageable. Tower views are amazing. Descending the tower is not physically difficult, but it is a little scary. Our guided tour, plus tower climb and viewing the crypt and sacristy took us about 2 hrs and 45 min.
Great tour with Carlos. Very informative, funny, casual and smart. Well worth the price and presentation. Note that the tower tour is physically and potentially, psychologically challenging. Highly recommended.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, had thick accent. Unfortunately the elevator for the tower portion stopped working when we were there and we could not go to the top. The tour company is giving us a partial refund, but we really wanted to see that.
