Great tour! I cannot recommend it enough. David was outstanding. His outfit, performance and English were on point, and he has such a comprehensive knowledge of the Sagrada Família that made me think Gaudí really was there! The cracked voice helped :)

Our tour guide was portraying the original architect of the Sagrada Familia. He stayed in character the entire time. We learned a lot and had a great time. So worth the money. (The pictures below and captions will give you a glimpse of the tour guide’s knowledge.) Highly recommended!!
Very good tour, very dynamic and the guide David is very attentive and pleasant.
The tour was incredible. The actor really stayed in character and didn't break it for a single moment. We only knew his name because he notified us before the meeting point and gave us the event information, but during the hour and a half, we felt like we were accompanied by the real Gaudí. His knowledge of the church's exterior and of Gaudí's history and life was so precise that it was as if he were telling it to you himself. We are very grateful not only to have seen the Sagrada Familia, but to have understood it ;)
It was a super experience!! We loved being able to see the area and the whole history of the Sagrada Familia told by David, who was the guide who played the character of Gaudí. His characterization and performance make you fully enter into the history and all the facts he tells you. It was incredible!
This tour has been a gem. David, who does not just act as a guide, but appears in character as Gaudí himself, manages to immerse you fully in the 20th century from the very first minute. His passion, humor, and knowledge make history come alive in a pleasant and super entertaining way. If you want to get to know modernist Barcelona in an original way, this theatrical tour is 100% essential.
Essential if you are interested in the modernist universe and Gaudí in particular. David plays the character masterfully and with a contagious passion; it feels like you are at the beginning of the 20th century. He knows Gaudí's life and work to perfection and answers all the questions you ask him with humor. Thank you very much, David, for making us enjoy this experience that we will not forget.
A brutal experience!!! First time my friends and I have done a tour of this type. We learned a lot with David and it was truly impressive. Perfect mix of history and art, with a touch of humor and very interesting trivia. I recommend it 100%, I hope to repeat it the next time I travel to Barcelona.
