Take the tour, get around the crowds

5.00Sagrada Familia can be very crowded. But a tour guide will know all the ins and outs, the history and where to look. Suggest you add the tower to your plan. The views of the city and parts of the church you can't see from the ground are excellent.

BAD EXPERIENCE, NO RESPECT FOR CUSTOMERS

1.00After confirming the booking for a guided tour of the Sagrada Familia after a few days they inform us that they have changed the day, time, duration and language of the visit. Let us try to find a compromise, then, since the opportunities were very limited in the meantime, we accept the new conditions in spite of ourselves. Not satisfied after a few days IBE TOURS cancels the visit permanently, citing the pretext of a concurrence with an official political commitment... STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE if you don't want to stay in canvas pants

The good, the bad, the ugly

3.00The good part is that you get to skip the line and get a nice guided tour. The bad part is that you paid too much, but unfortunately the tickets available directly through the Sagrada Familia website sell way too fast, leaving you with this kind of aftermarket markup that reflects the real demand to see the place, but unfortunately feels awful to pay for. Is IBE just scalping the tickets? No, probably not. I think there is some kind of deal where companies register to be tour guides and are allowed to bring in a certain number of people at the price of their choice. Viator is just an intermediary in all of this. Due to rain we were unable to go up the tower. Unfortunate, but the guide did suggest a partial refund would occur. Waiting on viator to see if that happens or if they just keep the difference. As for Sagrada Familia, of course it's beautiful and worth seeing if you can.
Great tour worth the price

5.00I was very excited to do this tour becase as a spaniard, I have seen la Sagrada Familia from the outside plenty of times but never inside. Before we took this tour, I called IBE tours twice and they were very helpful answering my questions. Even though the weather wasn't great, rainy and windy, we really enjoyed this tour. The meeting point was very easy to find just across La Sagrada Familia. This tour was worth the price. It was even better than expected. I was impressed by Gaudi as a genius architect. We also visited the school on our own. It's a small school building build in 1905 for the children of the workers building the Sagrada Família, although other children of the neighborhood attended, especially from the underprivileged classes. We learned plenty from our guide Carlos, who was very knowledgeable. His English was perfect and easy to understand. I recommend this tour and I hope you get Carlos.
