The experience got canceled and I wasn't made aware of the cancelation until I showed up to the designated 'meet up' location (I arrived 45 minutos before the tour was scheduled to begin). The Viator agents/representatives informed everyone (day of the tour) all tours were canceled due to a special architect conference being held there. Granted, this special event wasn't a pop up event. I found out this event was scheduled months in advance. So in other words Viator sold me (and many others) tickets to a tour which was NEVER going to happen (due to this scheduled closure/ special event). So many of us wasted valuable time and money (hotel, UBER, other expenses, etc) only to be heartbroken about not being able to see this amazing Basilica. On top of that, I have to wait days, if not weeks, before I see my refund. I'm very disappointed in Viator. They had the obligation to be aware of closures, they should have notified everyone of the closure as soon as they found out, and most importantly they should have made some attempt to mitigate this HUGE inconvenience. Especially because I use their services several times every year. Do better next time Viator!
Olga E is amazing. Made the tour very special, informative and fun.
Best experience and the cool tour guide Olga E thank u for everythink🙏🏻
Olga E was very passionate and easy to understand as well as easy to be around
Olga E was very friendly, really enjoyed out tour.
Wonderful tour by Olga E! She was engaging and entertaining while teaching us the history of Sagrada Família.
We booked with Julia’s Travel months in advance to find out “the day of” that we were not on their roster. We paid over $462.00 for a family trip. When they finally conceded, they penciled us in at 12:00 noon and not our scheduled time of 11:00 a.m (as noted on our reservation voucher). Finally, what we did get was a history lesson of 45 minutes and not the 2 hrs - as promised. Lastly, it is best to purchase tickets directly from the Sagrada Família Website for $27.00 PP and not $93.00 PP. Not worth buying tickets from this agency. So disappointed.
What an amazing tour. The guide Miguel is personal and passionate. Learned so much about the cathedral. Highly recommend.
Irina was a great guide, she really is knowledgeable. Beautiful place, so much history and still evolving
Lots of people. Have to keep moving during the tour. Sometimes hard to hear and hard to understand when the guide talked fast with his strong accent. The Guide was dressed very informally (long shorts and t-shirt), and unfortunately, at the beginning of the tour, I judged that he may not do a good job. However, he spoke passionately about the Basilica and its history and did a wonderful job!
