You should include the rooftop, it's cool The view of the cathedral is impressive and the guide explained the history and everything related to the tour very well; don't miss going up to the rooftop to have a wonderful view of almost all of Barcelona, and at night it must be a very, very beautiful experience as they say here, very cool.
¡Muchas gracias por su fantástica reseña! Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de la visita, de las explicaciones de nuestro guía y de las espectaculares vistas desde la azotea. Gracias también por recomendar esta experiencia. Esperamos darle la bienvenida de nuevo en otro de nuestros tours en Barcelona.
Our guide was excellent. She was really knowledgeable and passionate. She came from Mexico, inspired by a book her Grandfather gave her based on the area of the tour. It really brought everything to life
Tour time changed, which created a conflict. However, able to climb the stairs to take in remarkable view but missed the full tour.
Good. I'm missing a little more depth.
Very dedicated leadership of Mr. Felix. A remarkable Gothic filigree architecture of the church with beautiful View
Excellent experience, The church is worth getting to know inside, with the guide helped to know much better the details it has.
It was a great experience! The history, architecture, everything! Beware of the narrow staircase if you have the tour with access to the towers. The long staircase is worth the hassle. The views are magnificent!
It was amazing our guide was so knowledgeable it made for a fun day, the church is spectacular , the walk to the tower was a little strenuous but we all made it except for one older lady
Anna was wonderful. She is very passionate about the church and has great information. The rooftop is spectacular and worth the steps.
