What To Expect
Barcelona
Today, it’s the most visited building in Spain. Your English-speaking local guide, an expert in all things Gaudí, will share insider stories and anecdotes throughout your tour, truly bringing this iconic building to life.
Basilica de la Sagrada Familia
Your guide will share tales of Gaudí’s love affair with his final work, how he considered the project his personal holy mission, and the great personal sacrifices he made to ensure its completion. Sadly, he would not live to see it finished. Such was the complexity of the design that despite taking on the project when he was just 31 years old. With “skip the line” access you will be whisked past the long entrance lines and straight into the heart of the Basilica. You’ll feel as though you have stepped into an alternate universe. Step through a heavy set of doors covered in hand-carved vines and find yourself beneath rows and rows of tree-like pillars that seem to reach up all the way to the heavens. Construction is famously ongoing and not estimated to be completed until 2026, and witnessing the this work-in-progress make us feel like we're part of history in the making.

Amazing tour with an amazing guide!

5.00This was a great experience to have especially if you have a bigger family/group like I did with my group. The tour guide loved getting the smaller kids involved. When I went to the segrada familia the first time with the cathedral (2018), they had a lot of history about the cathedral and that's about it. What I loved about Phillipe's tour is that he mixed in a lot of history/facts about Barcelona and how they connect to the cathedral on top of cathedral facts.

1.00Having booked this tour, 7 months in advance, to guarantee we could get inside our tour was cancelled 48 hours before we were meant to go. They did not automatically book us onto another tour. And being on our holiday, by the time we responded, which was 40mins from getting the email to say the tour was cancelled, the alternative tour was full! Why we were not automatically booked onto the next available tour? We tried to sort something out with the operator, which was a hassle as it was by phone and we were on our holiday. The best they could do was suggest we just ‘turn up’ at 4pm and see if there were people that didn’t turn up fir the tour and then maybe we could get in? This we felt was too risky and instead we ended up asking for our money back, which we are still waiting for. So disappointed and could have messed up a whole day of our holiday, if we had let it. I will not be using this tour operator again.

5.00Tony was so friendly and knowledgeable. You could tell how much he loves Barcelona. His tour was quick but I love efficiency. An hour is not enough time to explore this beautiful place. I would take a tour around 3 (ours was 4pm) so you can see the beautiful windows as the sun is going down but also have time to stay after the tour.
Great tour for family

5.00This was our favorite church/cathedral tour we had and part of that was how knowledgeable our guide was. The inside and outside were just beautiful and is a definite must see/do in Barcelona in our opinion.
Well worth booking over the standard audio guide.

5.00Phillips O was a brilliant guide. Full of info, engaging and the pace was perfect. He even took time to answer questions from me about the stone when we were finished :) Definitely recommend this, if like me, you tried to book regular audio guide tickets too late. We had so much information from Phillipe I'm confident he was way better than the standard audio guide.
