Rosa is the best

5.00Our guide Rosa was amazing. So informative and friendly. Lots of stories we would not have heard otherwise and added to the experience
Absolutely the Best Way to See Sagrada de Familia!

5.00This tour was absolutely the way to go! You do get to skip a very long line, and our guide was full of fascinating information. What I loved most that he shared is that Sagrada de Familia is "essentially the story of Jesus carved into stone." For sure you want to go up into the Towers! It allows you breathtaking views of the top of each tower, along with stunning views of Barcelona! I will come back to this sacred place and Spain, just to stand inside this exquisite Bascillica and marvel at its beauty. We learned that it is on track to be completed in 2033.
Just okay. Tower was cool.

3.00It was difficult to understand the guide. She was very nice, but her English was not very good and it was hard to hear her with such a large group. The facility itself is very impressive. But, nothing we would do again. The tower views were impressive. It's not an easy hike down the tower. Make sure you are up for lots of steps.
Worthwhile! But if I were to do it again, I’d do it first thing in the morning.

4.00Fascinating tour! But very crowded. I wish the guide spoke better English. Sometimes it was hard to understand with all the noise from other people.

Too expensive, the souvenir shop you have to have the wallet full

3.00Mixed, too modern. Does not reflect the church that takes you in the gut when you get there, like Strasbourg
Excellent guide

5.00Excellent tour guide with lots of good information - 2 hours well spent and far better than just doing it yourself. Tower trip was fantastic so recommend this.
Sagrada missed

- Review from Viator
1.00We were unable to open the texted link for tickets. By the time we found the number and called Viator, the tour group had already entered the gates and we were not able to enter Sagrada. Viator sent us a link to the tickets that we could open but the group had already entered the Sagrada and would not come back to let us join. We are leaving Spain today so this was a huge let down. I expect a full refund. My daughter has used Viator for other tours and has enjoyed the experience.
