Description

This experience begins with the history and most relevant data of the basilica and continues with the serene contemplation of the facades, each narrating the life of Jesus. In the Facade of the Nativity, facing east where the sun rises, Gaudí carved a chant of joy to life. In contrast, the Facade of Passion stands as a silent cry of pain and redemption. This guided tour invites you to experience the Holy Family with the eyes of the soul. It is a tour for those who seek more than a photo; for those who long to connect with the beauty that points towards the eternal, with the spirituality that permeates every inch of this temple. With an official guide at your side, every detail will come to life, revealing the faith, hope and love that Gaudí immortalized in stone, glass and color. Discover faith made architecture.

Itinerary

60 min

The facades of the Holy Family immerse us in a universe of faith and symbolism. Gaudí was not just an architect; he was a visionary, a mystic who conceived of this temple as “the Bible in Stone.” His genius lies in having translated the mysteries of Christian theology, nature and liturgy into an unprecedented architectural language. Our expert official guide will accompany you on a journey of discovery, revealing the profound meaning behind each element, allowing you not only to see, but to understand and feel the spiritual and aesthetic essence of this sacred space.

The organiser changed the timing of the tour last minute. Was forced to cancel and was not entitled to a refund. This is a robbe

This is a scam. They changed the timing of the tour at the last minute.

Waste of time

Only outside tour. Next time make it clear

Operator response

Is pretty clear: Sagraada Familia Exterior, The Secrets Of The Façades. What else do you need? Red before buy, please. Furthermore the 90% of the symbolism is outside.

Terrible service.

The experience was awful; the guide texted me to change the time the day before, and I accepted. Then, around the time, he informs me that the tour is canceled, and they still have not refunded my money. I have written twice, and nothing; it is quite frustrating.

Operator response

Hola, recibio ya la platica?

Passionate Tour Guide

We loved our experience viewing the exterior of the Sagrada Família. Although we didn’t see inside, this tour was COMPLETELY worth it, and gave us a much better appreciation for the building.

Don't take this Tour

No Experience to share, as the guide moved twice the timing and at the end , I have to cancel the tour. The guide was not professional at all and was late to the time allotted.

Operator response

I was not in the pub. I was finishing another guided tour. I am a professional and fortunately people appreciate my work, that's why I have many clients eand services every day. Sorry for the inconvenience.
