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.

5.00Our tour guide. Alenie (Lena) was a Greek lady with perfect English and a huge knowledge of the church, Gaudi and Barcelona in general. She was very engaging and gave real insight into the development of the building over the years and the symbolism of all its various elements.

1.00The worst! I came 3 times to Sagrada Familia, and this company did everything wrong, bad communication, change of time a day before, change of time 1 hour before the tour again, as I was not able to arrive at that they offered by phone to re schedule, it never happened, they just ignore everything and tried to sell me more tickets for a next date. I had better experiences with other companies.
Fabulous and informative tour
