So many hidden secrets. So knowledgeable and friendly. Anna was personable and thoughtful as it was very very warm, somehow she found shaded area to talk which was much appreciated! Highly recommend!
Christel was an excellent and appealing guide. Enthusiastically friendly and knowledgeable about the subject. All questions were answered.
Amanda was a very good guide with explanations and kindness throughout the course of the visit. 100% recommended
Honestly. Terrible . The guide was looking for other tourists who were late and taking calls and messages while in the tour with the rest of us. We were with a stroller and she was imposible to follow . Nothing to spot her . Just raised her hand sometimes among hundreds of people. Other guides had a stick with something on top and you could spot them so we lost her inside the basilica and could not find her ever again. Left the audio box with security on the outside. But we booked this because it was “family firendy” small group and it was neither . Total scam . Don’t.
We are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations. Due to the Tour de France, the meeting point had to be changed. As many guests were unable to reach the new location, we contacted each participant individually, as well as the guide, to ensure that no one missed their scheduled visit to the Sagrada Família. Despite the unexpected circumstances, we did our best to make sure all guests could enjoy the tour as planned.
All of our Viator tours exceeded our expectations. Every tour guide was amazing, professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of each destination. Their friendliness, attention to detail, and willingness to answer questions made every experience enjoyable and memorable. We highly recommend Viator to anyone looking for outstanding tours with exceptional guides. Thank you for making our trip truly unforgettable!
Our guide Marco was fantastic! We had a blast even though it was pretty hot out. Marco was patient, full of neat tidbits of info and easy to ask questions to and get answers from.
The site itself was beyond words but the tourguide made it a complete experience.
Tour in English because there is no more space in French. But the guide was very understandable and provided us with plenty of information about this beautiful basilica.
Very punctual and in direct contact. They were very professional and the guide explained everything to us in detail.
Cristina was superb, one of the best tour guides of many I’ve had. She was expert in her knowledge and provided interesting details. She handle annoying group members well (you know there is always at least one) and moved us through the crowds adeptly. highly recommend this experience.
