Wasn’t worth the money paid. Was short and the tower option was also short The guide was nice and spoke well. Just wasn’t very interesting and spent a long time at locations
A very enjoyable tour. The lady guide (apologies I can’t remember her game but it was abbreviated) was very knowledgeable and spoke clearly. I’d recommend!
The Sagrada Família was one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona, because we went in the afternoon. An afternoon tour is A MUST, in order to see the sun coming through the stained glass windows. Don’t forget to look at the sun coming through the windows from the side, in addition to head-on — the rainbow configuration is breathtaking. We did the Tower option, which was fine even for someone who is claustrophobic and doesn’t like heights, but that wasn’t the highlight of our visit. The afternoon sun through the windows is A MUST!! Our guide was just ok — a but difficult to understand, so some in our party quickly lost interest in the tour but loved getting inside
The heat was brutal on our tour day, would recommend umbrellas to get some shade while outside (about an hour of the tour was outside). Beautiful church and do the tower!
I booked this excursion very last minute it was the only excursion I could find on line that went on the day I wanted and that included going up a tower, I think I paid more due to last minute booking at £130pp so I took the chanceand it was worth it, I had been in the Sagrada before which is wonderful but it was a first for going up the tower which was the passion tower, Amazing experience. Although I booked through TripAdvisor the tour company they used was. Iberian Events S.L the guide was very informative and kept good control of the group, 13 of us. She was at the meeting point on time and was very organised, I fully recommend this excursion.
This was a great tour. Guadalupe was very informative and made the experience very entertaining. She also had helpful hints in getting around to see more of the church after the guided tour was finished. We went up in the tower which was also a cool experience that we would recommend.
It was a really great tour. Our guid spoke a very understandable english (for non-native-english speaker important) and it was an amazing experience
Great experience. The skip the line tickets are as must. The guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about La Sagrada.
Afternoon light was great in the church but very hot. Our tour guide kept leaving us in hot places while he coordinated audio.
The guide was pretty good detailed, but we were not given a code for the audio tour which we paid $460 everybody who bought the tickets should get an audio tour. Overall, the guide was very patient and knowledgeable
