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.

5.00Our tour guide Bernat was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained the history, architecture, and symbolism in a way that was both clear and engaging. The pace of the tour was perfect — not rushed, but never boring — and we really appreciated how complex ideas were made easy to understand. He was very patient with questions and made sure everyone felt included. Thanks to this tour, we gained a much deeper appreciation of Basílica de la Sagrada Família that we would never have had on our own.

5.00Visiting Sagrada Família was already breathtaking, but the guided tour elevated the experience to another level. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Gaudí’s vision, explaining the symbolism, history, and architectural details in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely fascinating. Instead of just admiring the beauty, the guide helped us understand it—from the meaning behind the façades to how light, geometry, and nature influence every part of the interior. The stories and context made the basilica feel alive rather than overwhelming.
Very nice tour
