The small group tour was a terrific choice and well worth the money. Gerard was a fabulous tour guide. He was so helpful to our multi-generational family. He was extremely knowledgeable about the Sagrada. He answered all of our questions. His presentation was very interesting and we learned so much. Many thanks for such a memorable experience.
Great guide, very informative and personable. Recommend her highly.
Sofia was amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about the history and future of Sagrada Família. Other “small” group tours are actually quite large, but this one is capped at 10 people, which made it feel much more intimate (we had 9 in our small group). Excellent value for the price. Highly recommend!
Jordi was incredibly knowledgeable about La Sagrada Familia, its construction, history, Gaudí, and the symbolism both inside and out. He was also warm and easy to talk to. On top of that, he went above and beyond by giving us great restaurant and bar recommendations for the rest of our trip. Muchas gracias, Jordi!
Mega good guide super easy to understand
Francesc was a very knowledgeable and terrific guide. The architecture and history is stunning. I felt like I was reading the Bible literally from the building. We need a way to offer tips without it being cash.
We booked this tour to get to know the city better and understand its layout, but we got so much more. Fabian has an incredible knowledge of Barcelona and shared it in such an interesting way that the time flew by. He was especially knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the Sagrada Familia and Gaudí’s work, and he answered all of our questions (even the more unusual ones) with great detail. A truly enriching experience.
Marta was very good in explaining the history of the building of the Sagrada Familia and the symbolism of Gaudi and how he incorporated nature, the forest, sea and animals. The exterior is like none we have ever seen- beautiful! Definitely a must see when visiting Barcelona. Will do a second visit when we return to Barcelona for a more detailed history. Highly recommend requesting Marta for a tour.
Ester was a very knowledgeable and considerate tour guide. We appreciated her helping my son get a wheelchair and also answering all of our questions. I would recommend her tour!
The Família Segrada was an amazing experience. Our tour guide Ester was knowledgeable, intelligent, informative and helpful. She was intentional on how we experienced the Basilica. The one word I would use is Wow! The historical and spiritual significance of the Segarda Família was profound.
