5.00Great Tour with lots of information. We did a mid-afternoon tour and the lighting was spectacular. We had the Tower option and enjoyed that. Elevator up and step winding narrow stairwell down. Once tour is over you can stay longer to really get to see everything
Highly recommended

1.00The tour was overcrowded and unorganized. It was difficult to follow the leader in getting to the entrance for the tour. Our Hearing system which they were given to us was in adequate and we could not hear what she was saying. It was very difficult to understand her.
Sagrada Famlia tour a winner.

5.00Manu was very knowledgeable and entertaining! I enjoyed her "delivery!" Tour was tiring for an "older" person. Lots of standing can be hard on the legs and back. Also a bathroom stop before the tour begins would be a good idea.
Fantastic Experience!

5.00Rosa was an amazing guide! The tour was so informative and smooth! Logistics were very clear. But when we went to the tower and were released on our own to tour the museum below (don’t skip this part!) the tour with her was over and we lost the chance to tip her. That is our only regret.
A tour here is a must-do

5.00This was a fantastic tour. Gema was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend a tour over just walking around on your own, because there’s so much symbolism that I would’ve missed without the tour.
Good tour, some helpful tips

4.00It was a good tour overall. But, it was difficult finding the meet up spot with all of the construction, and it was not very clear where the street could even be crossed. Additionally, we were told to look for a green sign, but it was actually a small white sign with not too large green & pink lettering that was hard to see from across the street. Something like a large, colorful umbrella may have been more helpful. Additionally, when it started, there was so much construction noise that we couldn’t hear the first part of the description of the outside of the Sagrada. It would’ve been helpful to hand out the earpieces at that point rather than waiting until we got in front of the entrance. Those things would make it much better. Overall, the information was very helpful and the guide was informative and friendly.
