While you are in port in Barcelona, explore the best of this exquisite Catalan city on this shore excursion. This sightseeing tour includes skip-the-line access at La Sagrada Familia, where the long lines can often make a day in port very frustrating. Your guide will also show you more of the city’s iconic sights like the hill of Montjuïc and the Gothic Quarter. If a half-day tour isn’t enough, upgrade to the full-day tour to also visit Park Güell and La Pedrera. On this small-group tour, you'll receive personalized attention from your guide.

5.00Tour was fantastic! Our tour guide,Sergio, was the best!! He was very engaging and informative and took the time to take our photos and get them just right. We never felt rushed and had fun the entire time. The tour group size was manageable which led to all of our questions being answered. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona!

5.00This tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide was incredibly insightful, pleasant, and fun—he had such a great energy and was full of fascinating knowledge about Barcelona’s history, culture, and architecture. He really made the experience special for everyone in our group. The highlight, of course, was the Sagrada Familia. Seeing it in person was breathtaking—an absolute must-see. Skipping the line made a huge difference and gave us more time to truly take in the beauty and detail of Gaudí’s masterpiece. The tour was well-paced, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Barcelona, especially if you're coming in on a cruise and want to make the most of your time!

3.00The guide was very knowledgeable but we felt he needed to cut the patter as we were standing in rain and getting very cold. Skip the line didn’t mean walking through, it meant we were in a queue with several other groups in the rain. Not the tour operator’s fault, bad organisation by the facility. The familia Sagrada is magnificent and not to be missed!
