Miguel is a very friendly tour guide! He is very informative and respectful when it comes to differences in culture when talking about the history of the cathedral. He really enjoys what he does and my friends and I are very happy with the experience. Thanks Miguel!
I had a tour with Miguel. He is really informative guide ever! Always has a smily face! 10/10
We enjoyed a fabulous tour of the Sagrada Família in Barcelona yesterday. Our guide Elena was the best we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was friendly, vivacious and extremely knowledgeable about the SF history. She explained things in such an interesting way, at no time did we feel disengaged. She didn't keep referring to any notes like some previous guides we've encountered - she certainly knew her subject! All in all a wonderful experience, we thoroughly recommend the tour, and especially Elena!
Best part no waiting in lines, but you pay for it. Tickets are like $40 but (sold out for weeks in advance) we paid $200 but we got a guide and didn't wait in line...so worth the extra for sure. Really is quite amazing inside and something you should do when in Barcelona.
The church is amazing. Our guide didn't cover all there was to see. Also didn't spend the full hour and a half. He talked an hour at most. Maybe he counted the time before entering the church .but he could have covered what he had to say in 5 min. Wish I could remember his name.
The tour was great. I learned a lot of history, which I am very interested in. Our tour guide, Lena, was very knowledgeable, it’s like she grew up in the church. It was just the right length for a visit there as well.
Tour guide was knowledgeable, fun, and answered questions well.
Informative passionate experience with superb guide Martha . Her knowledge and dedicated insight and knowledge was excellent
Amazing tour! Our guide was the best, Alberto
Best tour guide we've ever had. Good because not too many in the group. She made it very interesting
It's very informative and detailed. Must pay attention. It can get quite busy , but a reallu good day
The tour was definitely worth the price paid. The guide was great and informative.
Our guide was very knowledgeable. We booked last minute, so the price was high, but worth it for us as we had only a short time to see it.
Moha was an absolutely awesome guide!!!
Moha was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much! He made the tour as fun as it was interesting!
We really liked Patricia our guide, very informative
Lena was a great guide and encouraged questions and banter. It’s such a unique church and the history of it is interesting
Mary’s was excellent! She was so knowledgeable about Gaudi and the Basílica. Really enjoyed the tour.
This is a very basic tour. Only advantage was Skip the Line and securing a last minute ticket. Large group size of about 16 so difficult to get a question in and not so interactive. Guide was OK but not sensational. Good way to see the place but keep expectations low.
I highly recommend this tour. I was unable to reserve tickets in advance so this tour gave me the option to visit the Sagrada Família last-minute in peak summer. I enjoyed the historic analysis from the guide and the ability to stay in the church after the tour completed.
Tour guide was great. Very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour. Got to spend as much time we wanted at end of tour.
The actual Sagrada Família was wonderful, but would have been so with any guide. The price for the tour was ridiculous, but we were left with no choice bc our organized 13 day tour couldn’t get tickets (at a reasonable price, probably because of the year. Perhaps worth the price to actually get in as fast track tour. Guide’s English was great but perhaps needed to have microphone a bit away from her mouth (or get better quiet box).
Sergi was a great guide. You can tell he really enjoys his job and shared so much with us all. We learned a lot today and had a wonderful time.
Pati was a great guide! Enjoyed our visit to Sagrada Familia with her! Lots of interesting facts and information!
Sergio was an absolute delight! He was extremely knowledgeable, but kept the vibes light and funny. I went in having next to no knowledge about the church, and left with a plethora of information! Couldn’t recommend enough! The church itself was breathtaking, and having someone to explain the intricacies of it made the experience even better.
Sergio was an amazing guide! He gave very valuable information with a fun attitude! I would highly recommend taking a tour with him
Amazing tour and tour guide. Sergio was super knowledgeable, and shared great facts and stories. I highly recommend this tour with Tour Guy!!!
Sergio was fantastic and the church was beautiful.
Great experience! Lina was a very knowledgable, engaging and passionate guide with deep knowledge of the Cathedral. 4.00pm tour (October) was perfect for golden hour window light. Meeting point was clear - tour left right on time. Also great that we could stay in the Cathedral after the tour ended.
Thoughtful and informative tour. All logistics were handled with ease, even when I almost didn’t find the group (they text and made sure I got there). Lena clearly has passion and endless knowledge on Sagrada. Highly recommend!
Marco was a great guide and gave us an excellent tour. The meetup location was easy to find. The Sagrada Família itself is an absolutely incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience and well worth the trip! However, I’m disappointed that regular admission tickets (€26) seem to be snapped up by tour operators months in advance, leaving the only realistic option to visit as booking one of the ridiculously expensive tours (€170 per person). That said, the skip-the-line option is worth it. The gift shop was a huge disappointment. For such a monumental architectural masterpiece, I expected something more inspiring than overpriced, mass-produced plastic souvenirs. I spent almost as much time searching for something worth buying in the shop as I did appreciating the church itself! My advice: book your tour months in advance to avoid disappointment!
Our tour guide Marco was exceptional. Passionate about the themes and symbolism regarding Sagrada Familia, beautiful explanations. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and had a once in a lifetime experience.
There was a security issue and we were very delayed for our entry (not the guides fault). She had a lot of information to share about the site, both inside and out. We loved being there at sunset, so beautiful inside. Because of the delay our tour only lasted about 60 minutes - expensive given the price (and no tower tour).
Very good tour where you'll learn all about the outside and inside. Best time to go is towards the end of the day when the sun is streaming through the stained glass windows
Octavia was the perfect tour guide. Very knowledgeable and a great personality. Learned so much and he answered every question.
Lens, our guide, met us at the Meeting Point and made us feel very welcome. The Fast-track element was brilliant. Lens gave us a wonderful tour of the Sagrada Familia. Unforgetable experience.
Octavio!! Great job!!! Stained glass, columns, facades,
Excellent tour with Miguel Suarez who was very knowledgeable on the history of the building and the church , he was very knowledgeable about the facts of the building and the church. He pointed the history of the countries we were in the group. Beside been disable of my shoulder he was very patient and took care of me. Ask for Miguel!
At first it felt rushed but when inside the tour slowed. Our guide was informative and involved himself in the group. To see this is amazing... it was expensive in my mind but once in a lifetime probably to see this amazing place.
So much to see. A guided tour is a must. Very interesting. There is nothing like this anywhere in the world.
It's very busy. Taking a tour is much easier than trying to go on your own. Guide Ester was outstanding.
Great communication on where to meet and what time. Marta a super knowledgeable very laid-back and professional. She made a visit very easy and comfortable.
Ester was fantastic. Explaining full of passion!!
Our guide was very good, informed, pleasant, patient. One caution: when it rains, this company does not use audio enhancements (i.e., earphones).
Guide showed up just on time and then we got a late start. English was spoken but very thick accent made it hard to understand
Our tour guide was nice. Best to book early as this was VERY expensive vs the standard entry fee. We didn't book early and paid the price just to get admission. They really take advantage of your for this penalty. The church is spectacular and the guide was nice and informative, just not for us.
The TrapAdvisor peak pricing is a total ripoff! Avoid the scam!
Ester was knowledgeable and well organized, cheerful and kind
Incredible tour! We loved every minute. Sophia was very knowledgeable. I was worried we couldn’t get tickets but we were able to see this iconic bldg through Viator.
