Barcelona Gaudi and Sagrada Familia Tour
Description
Antoni Gaudí was a genius who is now famous throughout the world, and he was not a one-off. In the late 19th century, Barcelona burst out of its medieval walls as the city experienced a cultural renaissance producing some of the most spectacular painters and architects ever, leaving us a mind-blowingly whimsical city. Come and explore the life and works of Gaudí, and his contemporaries, as we visit the modernist side of Barcelona!

Our guide will uncover the mysteries of the design of this strange and fascinating building. From the construction issues and Gaudi's demands to the inspiration of this whimsical building.
Our guide will take you through the journey of the Sagrada Familia from its beginnings over one hundred years ago to the uneasy years of the dictatorship, and all the way up to today. We will uncover all the secret symbolism hidden in the facades of this impressive masterpiece by Antoni Gaudi.

Alert! No one showed up for this specific tour NOR did I receive ANY notification of any kind that it was cancelled yet they took me money! There was another tour guide leading an entirely different tour ( Gothic District) who was willing to let us join her group but we really were looking forward to learning more about Sagrada Família!
We liked the Guide but her Voice wasn’t loud enough to Overcome the defective Technology
A very informative & fun walk! Very cool to explore the architectural history of Barcelona to understand how it came to be today
Amazing experience to enter La SAGRADA basilica and see the work of the crazy genius Gaudi. Our tour guide Gemma was knowledgeable and informative. Would highly recommended this tour if you are in Barcelona. It’s a must we also ascended the Nativity tower which was yet another view of Gaudis work and the city of Barcelona.
It was a very nice tour, however, the explanation for the tour was lacking. We thought it was going to be the inside and outside of Sagrada Familia and that was disappointing. Our tour guide, Natala was very good and informative. Helpful getting onto the metro. Very interesting architecture around the city.
The tour was great, our tour guide, a local, blended a perfect mix of history, stories, personal experiences and humor into a unique experience (thank you, Christian C.!) We were so excited that we signed up for the next tour the very next day:)
Impressive but I recommend checking the Maritime Station website to go the day fewer cruises arrive to Barcelona. Also go to lunchtime and avoid crowding. Convenient to go up by elevator to the top of one of the towers and make the descent by. The spiral staircase inside De la Torre.
Very interesting , our guide of Russian origin made his presentation very professional. We spent a very interesting afternoon.
Dominika was a great tour guide. We really enjoyed the tour, and learnt some interesting things that we wouldn't have by just looking at the sights. Would definitely recommend. There were only about 7 of us on the tour, if it had been full it would have been hard to hear with all the noise of the city.
I went at the appointed time, but no one showed up. I called the phone that was in the email and no one answered, there was no reply to my email and no reply on facebook messenger. It is possible that this company does not exist. The booking fee of €3 was not refunded and I feel like I have been scammed.
