Skip the lines and discover the story behind Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia with an expert, licensed guide. Starting just steps from the basilica, your guide explains the meaning behind the façades and leads you inside to explore the extraordinary interior, where light, geometry, and symbolism come together in Gaudí’s most ambitious work.

In addition to the guided visit of the basilica, you’ll explore the Sagrada Familia Museum, home to Gaudí’s original sketches, models, and plans that reveal how the project evolved over time. You’ll also enjoy access to the historic Sagrada Familia Schools—an often-overlooked space designed by Gaudí for the children of the basilica’s workers.

With skip-the-line access, clear storytelling, and visits to areas many travelers miss, this tour offers a smooth, insightful, and memorable way to experience one of Barcelona’s most important UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Marta was excellent, she was clear with the description and explanation of each feature. She was patient and allowed time for pictures. She described each aspect with detail and made sure everyone was clear one where we were looking. I learned so much and have a different level of appreciation as a result of her being a excellent tour guide.
Great tour
