Best Church Ever!

5.00What a wonderful tour. Carlos knew so much about the church and really gave us so much information. He was super friendly and answered everyone’s questions. He even ran back to get someone that got sidetracked. Personally I don’t feel like going into the tower is a must. We were on the Passion side and I was disappointed in how little we could see. Save yourself the money on that part in my opinion. Otherwise it was fantastic. Great meeting location across the street and away from the crowds.

1.00After more than 17+ hours traveling to visit the Sagrada Família with 11 of my family members tour guide made us wait to meet outside a random pizza spot and when got to us he was completely unwilling to make an effort to help get in after being late for 6 mins. Appointment was made at 3pm and we all arrive running and lost to the meeting point including my grandmas of 84 years old located outside a random pizza spot near the cathedral. I would never in my life schedule a tours with company IBE TOURS. Completely unresonable and lack of common sense. Unbelievable!
Wonderful Tour

5.00Wonderful, entertaining and informative tour. Our tour guide (forgot her name) was exceptional. The Sagrada Familia is awesome!
Wonderful, shame about the barricades everywhere for the Pope's visit.

5.00A shame that erection of barricades for the upcoming Pope's visit meant a great deal of noise and restriction of viewing on the outside. But our guide Albert was great, very informative. We loved the interior, so beautiful. It is hard to reconcile what you see on the outside (that you can see) with the beauty inside.
Thank you Rosa

5.00To fully experience Sagrada Familia, one must go inside. The height, the light, the curves, the simple yet complex design will leave you in awe.
Interesting tour with a small group
