2.00Unfortunately this was probably the weakest tour during our stay in Barcelona. I forgot our tour guide's name but if you get one with short blond hair from Latvia, then adjust your expectations downward. My sister asked a question which she swatted down saying she'll answer it later and never did. Her voice was monotone and did not speak with inflections or excitement that I overheard other tour's receiving. And the worst was at the end, our whole group needed to go to the bathroom which we all wanted to do before ascending the tower; she only cared about the headsets and when I asked her where the bathroom was located....she just laughed at me...literally laughed and did not tell me. Maybe she felt she was clear earlier with verbal instructions in an area none of us were familiar with or just maybe a semi decent tour guide would have guided the 8 or so of us who needed to use the restroom to said location but it left such a negative impression on us. The tour guide also does not ascend the towers with you and no knock here as it would be practically impossible given the tight quarters but apparently there is an audio guide and a VR experience which we thought a tour guide should have informed us about beforehand. Once you get up there, you will feel semi pressured to continue moving. The Sagrada Familia is obviously a great piece of architecture and it was helpful having someone explain the different scenes carved into the facade but this is an example of how a tour guide can ruin an experience. Make time to visit the museum underneath especially if you have a tour guide like the one we did.
Good guide but some issues with the tour company.

3.00It rained and they cancelled the tower portion of the tour. However, the guide was not going with us on the tower. The guide is only for the portion before the tower. Asked for a partial refund and was given a very small refund. Guide was good. However, the tickets said that we had to go to an address and redeemed coupon for the tickets. I went there and no one was there. A different vendor was there and told me just to show up at the meeting point, which I did and no different ticket was needed. This effort was a waste of time and should not be included in the instructions. My only issue was the instructions for the extra effort that were not needed, guide was only dropping us off for the tower and not leading the tower tour and the portion refunded was not much considering the origninal cost.
Don’t miss this tour in Barcelona

5.00This was the perfect tour for Sagrada Familia. The guide was knowledgeable…covered the entire cathedral and told of the significance and history. The only concern was locating the guide in the masses of people gathered in the area - especially since the instructions for what color flag to look for was not correct and tour company sign hard to find…fortunately we found it…but wasn’t easy.
