Reviews
Francisco was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. He got the whole group involved and was very personable. He gave us a lot of insight into the Sagrada Familia and the work of Gaudi. The tour was well paced and thoroughly enjoyable,
This tour was listed to include the Gaudi Park but was strictly an architectural tour from the outside mainly. There was some good information but not as enjoyable as anticipated.
Knowledge and passion, these are 2 qualities that Martin has plenty of as he took us around Sagrada Familia and then onto Passage De Gracia area. We truly enjoyed the evening
The tour was amazing . Very informative and fun. It was a big confusing however as at first I thought we’d be entering Sagrada Famille. Maybe in the advertising you could make it clear that there is no entering the church iincluded. Other than that. Martin was wonderful.
I want a full refund: Neither myself nor the wife took the tour; the information wasn’t clear. Three other families at the gathering point also complained.
Very nice and professional guide and he shared a lots of interesting facts and fun stories about Barcelona in a very entertaining and humorous way. The tour was engaging, full of fascinating details and never boring. His enthusiasm and sense of humour made experience even more enjoyable. We had a great time!
Tour not as booked. Booked a last minute tour that stated it would be inside the church. Actual booking changed to an outdoor tour and shopping trip. Buyer beware.
Our tour guide, Martin, was great! He made the 2.5 hours go by fast, he helped everyone in our group and he took questions and is very knowledgeable! I fully recommend this tour and specifically Martin, he’s one of the best guides we’ve had!
WATCH OUT FALSE ADVERTISING. I will take this down only when they refund us all and change their wording. there is NO ENTRY TO THE BUILDING.
The guide had no clue what he was talking about. Gave no factual insights. All he did was talk about how gay Barcelona is. He made rude comments about the church, the pope and laughed at a group of nuns. 4 people left the tour before it ended. I was shocked at how bad it was.
It was great, super informative and our guide Anastasiia was amazing, she was so friendly and gave us great recommendations on where to go and where to eat!
Francesco was extremely knowledgeable and made our tour so much fun. I was disappointed we didn’t get to go inside. That was not clear when I signed up. But the meeting point was easy and Francesco was great! We learned a lot! Highly recommend!
Had an excellent experience because our tour guide Anastasiia was well-versed in, and obviously cared about the subject matter, which made a most remarkable and truly awe-inspiring attraction even more unforgettable.
It is a good way to start your citytrip to Barcelona. Besides the information about the architecture, our tourguide gave us a lot of extra information about other places to see there. She also listened to the people from the group, and had a personal talk with each of us. This made the tour feel very customised to the needs of her people. For my teenage children it is a bit of a long tour. Luckily part of it is travelled by metro and the final stretch includes benches.
Very good explanation but we don't go inside the sagrata familia. We saw many good POV. Good for nice pictures
Francisco was an extremely knowledgeable and amiable guide, delivering a thorough history of Gaudí and his masterpieces, with both clarity and humor as we visited each stop in the itinerary. His breakdown of the construction and symbolism of Sagrada Família was uber informative and interesting, revealing details I never considered. The tour went at a near-perfect pace as we navigated through the crowds in the metro and at each stop on the itinerary. The candy tasting was a pleasant surprise as I had only recently heard of Turrón. I did not expect to enjoy the taste and textures as much as I did, but the variety and quality of the flavors were incredible. He was also extremely patient addressing a young tourer who had many questions that his mother translated to satisfy his curiosity while keeping things moving. Though the tour did not include the interiors of the sites, it provided an excellent overview of each which will help decide which I visit my next trip to this beautiful city. Five stars!!
Francisco was awesome! The site was beautiful and so interesting. Sweets after made this a ton of fun. I wish I had paid more attention to the listing because I had wanted to go inside however I was still extremely happy with my experience. And again Francisco. He went above and beyond.
The city is amazing, Sagrada Familia,Casa Batllo and Casa Mila are so beautiful.The history of Barcelona is very rich and amazing
Even though we were disappointed we didn't get to go into the church our guide Leo was so good. Loved his passion and knowledge. Loved the green umbrella to find your group. It's a little confusing with all the guides.
The web site is not clearly descriptive. For Sagrada family you are selling tickets for outside> it is joke, and you are not stating it at the beginning . Instead it says in the middle and at the end. Why should I pay 30 euros per person for outside tour when I could do it by myself. I consider that you should reimburse portion of money that I played for 4 people.
We learned a lot on the tour. The stories behind the buildings are interesting and the buildings themselves are breathtaking. I would recommend this tour.
Beautiful architecture. Lots of great history and scenery. Francisco was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and funny as well
Our guide had an excellent knowledge of the Sagrada Familia. Very enjoyable tour. Good sense of humour
Good tour and very knowledgeable guide. This tour does not include Sagrada or Gaudi tickets and you don’t enter inside the buildings.
Do not book it’s a complete fraud and lie what they provide is not on the actual booking. You do not enter the building is a talk of the building and that is it
This was a great way to see the outside of Gaudi's architecture. and an easy way to see the city Anastasia, our tour guide did a wonderful job.
Could not find the location. No one seemed to know where the rock it was, finally someone told us it was where the KFC was. Then when we got there we did not find a green umbrella although an officer told us there was a blue number one there a few minutes ago. Anyway in summary we missed the whole tour. Two 70-year-olds walking about 8 boxes being told it was a very short walk. Would not book one again. I don't think their policy allows for a refund so we paid a lot for lesson learned.
Francisco was extremely knowledgeable and caring and funny. We learned so much it is a great value for the money.
The guide Emanuel was absolutely terrific- friendly, very knowledgeable and engaging, and the places chosen were all very good quality and interesting items - many of which we had not tried before. It was quite expensive but great quality!
Francisco was a fabulous tour guide - smart, well-informed, professional, and cared about each of us. The information he shared, along with close-up images on his iPad, deepened our experience. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide.
I told was going to be boring but I was mistaking it was Amazing, I loved it, we had an amazing time. The explanation was on point, the guide was super prepared, it even show up with a folder with pictures. Explained everything in Details and we also had a little tasting of chocolate at the end. Highly recommend!
We loved the tour with Francisco! He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and was able to communicate in both English and French.
A lot good information but I never got what I thought this tour to be. Did not get to go inside church totally disappointed cause booked over month advanced and thought that was what was included
The tour starts on time and communication with the tour guide was excellent. He was at the correct location.
Incredible tour of the of the outside of the Sagrada Família and taking the metro to see other architecture and a candy tasting. Francesco was an incredible guide with a great personality and knowledge of the church and city. Highly recommend. Quite frankly the outside tour is more Ientreating and cheaper than inside.
Martin is fantastic! 😊 He really knows his history and is so knowledgeable. I never expected to learn so much during a tour, but he had an answer to every question we asked. You can tell he loves what he does and enjoys sharing his knowledge with others. We really enjoyed our experience with him. I highly recommend taking a tour with Martin if you get the chance!
This is the best experience ever with our famous guide Martin. All the information was really professional and with an interesting way to share
Martin was so awesome. He was so knowledgeable, fun and just made the day so memorable I would highly recommend him!
What a wonderful experience! Rhe Sagrada came to live for us with this wonderful, passionate and well educated tourguide! Wish we could give 6 stars! Well worth it!
I showed up to take part in my tour and I was turned away. I was told they reached the limit of how many people could be in the group. I was completely embarassed being turned away and no one to help me.
This guided tour was done by Francisco ,a very professional and dedicated tour guide. He sees to all of our needs and ensures everyone in the group is safe and comfortable.
A very comfortable and engaging way to discover the history of Barcelona’s iconic buildings, and learn the context of those masterpieces
Francisco was a great informative guide. We learned so much about Barcelona and the outside of the Família Sagrada
Thorough review of the Sagrada Família. Walked all around the exterior to view the differences. Of each side. Francisco provided much detail.
If you want to learn about the Architect Gaudi and his tremendous gifts to Barcelona plus some yummy treats join! I only had one day before a cruise and I am soo happy I chose this one with Francisco as our guide.😃👍😉
Could not have the visit because they change the time and it was not possible to take the new time. I answered immediately but never get in touch with me. So I spent money for nothing. They have fake publicity. Please don't trust them, I am very hungry!!?!
If travelers get a guide like Aldo, they'll receive an immersive, educational and fairylike experience, with a lot of useful information presented in a very friendly manner. I loved the personal details like him telling us about what interpretation he prefers when arrived at one of the Gaudi houses (the dragon story)
How to name an event « sagrada familia » and not visit it. A deliberately misleading title. 30 euros lost
I misread the tour thinking it included visit to Basilica, it is only a walk around the church. Absolutely not worth the cost of the tour, we opted out.
