Our guide was super nice and very knowledgeable, if you want to get some additional interesting information about the history and especially architecture of Sagrada Familia this short tour is great for you, but if you just want to snap a picture and leave I would get a regular admission ticket. I did feel like the navigation of our tour was a bit haphazard (we walked in and out of the building 5-6 times), and for an English tour, it was clear most people were struggling to understand our guide, on top of the noise and other guides. Overall, would still recommend, mostly for the skip the line function, and for those who want to learn a little bit extra.
Tour guide Arturo is attentive and informative. Thank you!
The tour was well organized, easy to follow, and the pace was perfect. Every moment inside the Sagrada Família was breathtaking, and having such an informative guide made the experience even more meaningful
Arturo was an amazing host and brought out visit to life
Very informative and friendly, welcoming tour. Would recommend Arturo.
Our guide was amazing! Very engaging and very knowledgeable! Highly recommend!
Exceptional. Explained everything clearly
I found the tour overpriced for the information and engagement provided. The guide shared only brief synthetic facts, and the tour was quite short, effectively less than one hour. I am still happy I booked as visiting the Sagrada Familia was worth every euro.
Great Tour. Guide was very informative, knowledgeable and friendly. Beautiful interior of the Sagrada Familia. Worth seeing.
Finding the meeting place was a bit of a challenge as its on a sort of alleyway that cuts across the 'island' where the Sagrada Familia sits - I went around the block a few times - asked people where it was, etc. found it right before the tour began. Our tour guide was amazing! So passionate and engaging - it made the experience even more magical. This is a must see site and we were lucky enough to be able to view the afternoon sun shining thru the colored windows.
