Really good tour and guide. Instructions on where to meet were unclear
Great, informative tour with a great guide, but strongly suggest a better, much much larger sign to help find the group in the enormous mass of people surrounding Sagrada.
Guide was extremely knowledgeable! Would recommend this to everyone I know that is planning a trip to Spain.
The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I learned so much more than I expected. This was a great tour!
Tour was very informative about the cathedral. Kind of too informative at times personally but history buffs would love this tour! Biggest thing for me is we were asked to return the headsets if we wanted to leave the tour...caviat being our guide had our tickets to the tower so it felt like I was trapped until the end of the cathedral part of the tour.
A good trip, there were many people but the guide made the trip lively and exciting. Choose a morning trip.
The tower access is worth it. Guide was excellent. Very informative and gave time to explore church on your own.
It was very thorough, and instructional. It was a little long, but I'm sure it would be hard to shorten because there is a lot of detail to learn about.
Beautiful inside and out…….. The colors the history . I don’t wanna say to much but it is a must see
Excellent comprehensive tour of the basilica by David our guide pointing out countless details of the exterior and interior structural and embellishing features designed by Gaudi and his successors. An absolute highlight was the non-guided tower climb which gave added appreciation of the magnificent and intricate design of this masterpiece - the Segrada Familia.
