We had a great time at the Cathedral in Barcelona. The tour was fun, and our guide took his time to answer all our questions. He gave us 30 minutes to explore on our own, took us up to the rooftop, showed us a visual 3D video of the cathedral, and even explained how candles were made in the old days. It was all very interesting! The only thing I would improve is the breakfast. There isn't much of a selection—it's just one pastry and a cup of coffee. Although the description mentioned that fruit was included, they told us they didn’t have any. Overall, we had a wonderful experience on the tour and would highly recommend it!

We’re sorry it didn’t fully meet expectations and will share your comments with our team to review this aspect of the tour. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you again in the future.
I enjoyed this tour. There were only four of us the morning I did the tour. We had time to look around inside the cathedral before meeting our guide to go to the rooftop. Our guide provided history and background details during the rooftop tour and he also pointed out landmarks across the city. Our guide also explained the history of things we saw as we made our way back to the ground floor of the church and he took pictures of us. One thing that might’ve improved the tour is if our guide would’ve given us a walk around of the main floor of the cathedral before taking us to the rooftop. My mom joined me for this tour and she missed an outside area of the cathedral on the main floor because she didn’t realize it was there.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience 😊 We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the small group visit and the rooftop experience at Barcelona Cathedral. It’s great to know the guide’s explanations, city views, and personal attention made the tour special for you and your mom. We truly appreciate your suggestion regarding spending more time on the main floor before going up to the rooftop. Feedback like this is very valuable to us and helps us continue improving the flow of our tours. Thank you again for your thoughtful review, and we hope to welcome you again in the future!
