5.00The tour, thanks to our excellent guide, David, was fantastic. The basilica is mind boggling and is a must-see if visiting Barcelona. However, unless you take a guided tour, the queues were lengthy, even this time of the year. The trip to the tower is well worth the extra cost although be prepared for a large number of narrow, and challenging, stairs on the way down.
David was an amazing...

5.00David was an amazing guide. He gave us a complete history of not only the Segrada Familia, but also the life of Gaudi and how he designed it. David has a wealth of knowledge and a great personality, so we were not bored with the information. I enjoyed the tower access, but would caution anyone that has vertigo or poor stability to avoid that add on.
Great experience highly recommend

5.00Incredible experience and great guide. Very knowledgeable about history of sagrada familia and gaudi. I would highly recommend taking the tower part of the experience if you are OK going down quite a few steps. Absolutely worth it.
A must go place in Barcelona

5.00This is one landmark in Barcelona that is a must for all visitors. The building is majestic and amazing. What made the visit complete was the information and stories we had during the tour. Tower visit was the bonus. Beautiful views. Need to be physically able as need to walk down (elevator to the top). Museum next to the crypt completes the visit. Very crowded.
What a place

5.00Meeting location was easily located and communication from the guide was excellent, Audio mechanism can be difficult to hear from if you get behind. The guide expedited our entry into Sagrada Familia and her concern for our experience was obvious as she would relocate the group to provide good visibility while in the Basilica. The elevator ride up the Tower was quick and the walk down - with observation deck opportunities was great. If you have an issue with heights, the Tower has only one side with a rail.
Amazing - not to be missed!

4.00Had trouble finding the tour guide. There was no marked area given to meet the guide just and address, went to the address given on our ticket and they directed us where we should go and to look for someone holding up a sign. once there, there was no one holding up a sign, just happened to see someone walk by that had a sign by their side and asked. that was our only trouble tour was VERY informative and thorough. Highly reccommend just allow time to find where tour starts
