Meh. Group too big and could just do the audio tour on your own.

2.00This group of up to 30 is WAY too big a group. Sagrada Familia is very crowded and the large group is not conducive to a pleasant experience as you try to just follow to keep up. The guide was adequate, but not great. Seems like there is far more history and information to be shared and she only gave very high level of all of the major points, but feels like a lot was missed. Should have just done the audio tour on our own. We have been in Madrid and Barcelona for almost 10 days and have done numerous tours via Viator. This by far was the most disappointing tour, though the Sagrada Família was an interesting experience not to be missed.
Highly recommended!

5.00Our guide David or Davide was a fountain of knowledge. He is not just a guide but a patron of the Basilica so he knew added facts from behind the scenes. He was such a wonderful guide. The views from the top were amazing but the steps down seem never ending .
Informative & beautiful

5.00We enjoyed our tour, in March. It was very cold at the beginning of the tour. It was extremely busy, so I think our guide was delaying. She was very informative and I really liked her heartfelt comments. I only wish there would have been a restroom break, or told where restrooms where before the trip to the top of the tower! I got some sassy comment about being an American ...Ugg. Just a women over 60.
