Eric, our guide, was fantastic. I highly recommend him- very kind, knowledgeable and capable. The Basílica was beautiful- everyone should see it if at all possible. The tour was private- just our family which made for a very lovely experience, unlike the other tours I saw, that were filled with hordes of people all standing outside in the burning sun. This tour was awesome. Ask for Eric!
The tour guide was knowledgeable and thorough however we were disappointed to find out that the location was closing for a private event and were not allowed to access the museum and gift shop or explore on our own. If we would have had this information in advance, we would have canceled and rescheduled another date and/or time.
We arrived at meeting spot 22 minutes early early! Pinned spot so we know it was the correct location. At 5:10 no tour guide! But there were several other companies at same point. Would not use Viator again as they clearly did not provide proper info.
Our guide Cristina was lovely! She had great knowledge and really catered the tour to our interests. We had a tour at the end of the day and it was just gorgeous!
Christel was a very good tour guide.very knowledgable.made it a very good tour.made it fun and interesting.
It was super fun to do. The guide told you so much nice info, that really made it better. And so you saw the sagrada familia inside and out and after the tour you still got free time so you could still go back.
Our guide was very knowledgeable. We did have earbuds or headsets which was very helpful to hear her. Great experience! Thank you!
After taking the money from the card, cancelled over email the day before the tour. Impossible to contact them and now I need to try and get a refund , wasting more time (obviously not making it easy). Most likely it's a scam. Avoid avoid avoid.
We had a major scheduling issue with this tour. Viator had informed us several weeks earlier that our 11am tour was confirmed. The day before the tour, we received a text from the group supplying our guide that we would have to change our tour to 4:15 pm because not tickets were available for 11am. We spent considerable time texting Viator and the tour group asking why we were told that our tour was confirmed if they did not have tickets for that day and time. No real answers were forthcoming coming, other than they would refund our money if we did not want to come about 4:15. We decided to rearrange our other scheduled activities since we really wanted to see the Sagrada Família. Our actual guide for the tour was Daria and she was excellent! She told s that the cancellation occurred because the Sagrada Família staff cancelled a large number of tickets at the last minute in order to deal with preparations for upcoming events. This apparently happens on occasion. We think it is important that Viator be upfront and clear about this possibility. Saying a tour is “confirmed” when it is open to last minute changes is not accurate. In a city like Barcelona where many attractions need to be booked ahead of time, unexpected changes like the above can be very disruptive.
Sophie was the most upbeat and excited person to show us the masterpiece of Gaudi. Smart, educated and quite knowledgeable, spending more time than booked to insure our experience was the best. I highly recommend you ask for her. She has been doing this for ten years! Thank you!
