Your journey into the wonders of the Sagrada Familia begins as you meet your expert guide outside this world-renowned basilica. Before entering, you’ll marvel at the intricate details of the Nativity and Passion Facades, each telling a different chapter of Christ’s life through Gaudí’s unique architectural style.
As you step inside, be prepared for a breathtaking experience. The interior is bathed in a mesmerizing glow as natural light filters through the spectacular stained-glass windows, creating a kaleidoscope of colors.
You’ll walk through the grand nave, where towering columns stretch toward the ceiling, designed to resemble a forest canopy. You’ll also explore the altar area, where the magnificent hanging crucifix adds a sense of serenity and spiritual depth to the space.
Finally, you’ll visit the museum and Gaudí’s workshop area, where original sketches, models, and artifacts offer a deeper understanding of the architect’s creative process.

5.00Booked a tour of the Sagrada Familia online. Easy to locate meeting point. Leo was an excellent guide and gave us lots of interesting information; things you wouldn’t see or know if you self-toured. The weather was rainy so Leo waited until the rain had eased before taking us outside and pointing out key features. A truly fascinating visit and we’re so pleased we booked it. Highly recommended.

2.00Firstly, our guide was late then waited 15 minutes for 3 people who were stuck in traffic then started the tour at 5.30 pm which was half an hour after our scheduled tour. Then half hour into the tour, it was announced that the Sagrada Familia will close at 6.15 pm. So our 1 and a half tour ended up being 30 minutes. We did not get into the museum or gift shop and needed to leave in a hurry. Needless to say how disappointed we were and would like to be compensated via a refund on our tickets.

I can't wait to see it completed in the not too distant future.

3.00I expected more from the guide. We only received basic service information, less interesting than any independent reading. One of the weakest tours I’ve been on.
Beautiful activity to discover

5.00Very good guide. Knew his subject extremely well. I didn’t think there were as many possible explanations for the many details.
