I only had a few hours to explore Barcelona while at a meeting and this seemed like a great tour to see Sagrada Família along w another sight efficiently and in depth in a short time. We had a small group of 7 and Xavier was an outstanding tour guide. Because it was a small group, we were able to ask lots of questions and move around easily. Casa Mila was really unique and the cava was a nice break to sit and chat (the restaurant was right next door and was formerly the store area for the residents of Casa Mila so has the interesting Gaudi ceilings). The walk to Sagrada Família was nice and we were able to talk to Xavier about life in Barcelona and the Catalan culture. Sagrada Família was breathtaking and he had so many insights and background, it made for a completely different experience than had I gone alone. I enjoyed meeting our little group and we joined another group at Sagrada Familia. The stained glass glowed from golden hour which was really stunning. Highly recommend!
We wanted to definitely visit Sagrada Familia for our (my brother and I) visit to Barcelona. What we did not realize that the bookings had to be done far in advance, and we had not done so. Fortunately, we found a trip option for Casa Mila + Sagrada Familia along with cava tasting. This turned out to be a better experience than we could have had on our own, thanks to our guide Naiara and the nice group we went with. She was well educated on the topics, personable, and had a sense of humor. The context of the buildings and their history was dealt with in depth. During the walk from Casa Mila to Sagrada Familia, we talked more freely amongst our group (initially three Americans, a French lady, us Finns and Naiara herself), exhanging cultural knowledge and discussing more everyday matters - which helped to make the tour feel lighter. Later on, near Sagrada Familia, we were joined with a couple of Australians, a Scottish couple and four Chilenos. The tour lasted about four hours, and costed 139 euros per person - which included the admissions that by themselves are far from cheap. The language was in English, but we did also talk in Spanish (I am learning it), and Naiara spoke in fluent French with the French lady at some point. Her English was fluent enough too. Highly recommended especially for first time visitors to Barcelona. Note that my region is listed as UK because Finland was not an option.
Xavier was an amazing tour guide . Very informative but also very informal, funny antedates and kept the tour light and moved along at a good speed
Sagrada Familia a must, La Pedrera Gaudí impressive and a great closure with a glass of cava and some great local tastings.
This tour accomplished some things on my bucket list. WWOOOOWWW La Sagrada Familia and Gaudi!!! It is a nice late afternoon tour combo with La Pedrera. The guide did a great job driving us through the neighborhood and we had a good chat at the end with a glass of cava and the tapas. I highly recommend the tour.
Amazing tour through the most beautiful church I have ever seen. The light, the architecture, Gaudi was a genius. We then had a nice 20-minute walk through the modernism neighborhood. Juli, the guide, explained the other modernist buildings all the way to La Pedrera. I loved la Pedrera. It is like being in a unique residential building and the terrace is iconic. Long day in Barcelona… it is a great idea to take a break at the end of the day and relax with a nice glass con cava and some food. We had time to chat with the guide. We took some time to cool down. I love travelling but it can be exhausting too
