Sagrada Família cathedral

5.00The church was amazing- both inside and outside! To learn everything about Antoni Gaudi and how he created & designed this cathedral was mind blowing! Doing the tower experience was worth all the steps. I got you so much closer to some of the towers to see the exquisite work that has been done that high up. Our guide, Guadalupe, was very knowledgeable and a pleasant person.
Wonderful

5.00Meet up location was clearly explained. Our guide, Rosa, was well versed in the Sagrada Família. She exuded a true passion for the site, the on going work, and changes she has witnessed to the exterior first hand through the years of her upbringing as a local. Her knowledge of Gaudi’s designs, for the inside and outside of the Familia, were very well presented. The tour was exactly as described and Rosa even gave us some additional points of interest within the Familia to check out at the end of her part as our guide. She got us entered into the line for the tower and she waited to make sure we were all on our way up before departing. Viator never fails to provide great tours and for me, this one is now at the top of my favorite list!!
Good tour and information!

4.00Great tour with information. The meeting point was in front of the Picasso Café, but that wasn’t clear they gave the address point, but if they mentioned it was in front of the café that would’ve been easier I was worried I was gonna miss the tour because there was a bunch of people standing on the corner of the secret Familia, but a didn’t see them, but it was easy to call and contact them if they lend me to it right away
Skip the line! Don’t miss this tour! Don’t blink because you’ll miss something beautiful!

Sagrada Familia for the win

5.00Our tour guide was easy to find, arrived right on time, and made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Entry was smooth with no delays, and the information shared throughout the tour was engaging, clear, and incredibly informative. Highly recommend—everything was well-organized and exceeded expectations. We chose to go up the tower. It was a great experience with so many amazing views of the city and of the design of the church. Make sure you are well able. There are many steep and narrow stairs.

5.00They should be good on foot and not carry large backpacks. Small bags are ok, big ones have to be dropped off. Our guide has made good time for the group. Everything well explained and showed us the best places for photos.
