Our guide was good, but we were supposed to get a 2 hour tour. Our tour was not even an hour and we had 40 people in our group. To me very overpriced.
Purchased English tour and even paperwork that stated English tour and refused to provide a switch to English. Complete fiasco that was unnecessary had they had extra headseats or could change channel to a different one. Stuck in church where without a physical ticket could not even use QR codes to interpret historical signifance or details. Complete disaster they were aware of, did not fix and knowingly led us into.
We had a wonderful experience with the tour we participated in with The Touring Pandas. Our guide did a spectacular job of walking us through this amazing building including the background, details, and history. An exceptional experience and an excellent guide. Thank you!
On a positive note, the meeting point/tour company office was right by Sagrada Familia and relatively easy to find. We DID get to enter Sagrada Familia and received the most basic information. Do NOT waste $200+ on this tour. From the start, the experience was weird. The meetup was in a tiny glass box of an office next to a very popular meeting point of another tour company. We checked in and waited just outside as it was full. Finally, people emerged and started off, so we assumed this was our group—no intro or anything, didn’t even get a name of the guide. The guide must be getting paid very little because he had no personality whatsoever and acted like he was doing us a favor by leading us into the Cathedral. Again, very basic info, while other guides around us were passionately explaining the history and myths. Had been to SG 25 years prior and went up the spires through the spiral staircases to see close ups of the spire tops. You will not get this from this tour. You will get an explanation of the statues on both sides of the main spire and be pointed to the free museum (which had more info, though hard to follow sequentially) and the exit. I‘ve traveled all over the world and can honestly say this was the most disappointing tour I‘ve joined. Pay more for a better tour. Will not use Panda again.
Outstanding tour. Tickets for admission to Sagrada Familia were sold out on the only day we had available to go there. We looked on line for group tour availability and found 2 places open with The Touring Pandas. Well worth the additional cost. Our guide Pipo was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful to my husband who has been experiencing mobility issues lately. The basilica is beautiful, outside and inside. He shared with our small group detailed information on the history and design. He positioned our group in the best places possible among other groups and people to see this stunning structure. Highly recommend this tour and company. Thank you Pipo!
It was a good experience, our guide was very knowledgeable but it was quite a short tour for the money, it was less than an hour including walking there and getting inside.
The tour was great. Raul was funny and informative. You could go in by yourself and see the whole thing but it’s nice to know what you’re looking at . Also there was no waiting on line.
Had a great tour about the Sagrada Familia with Arturo. Highly recommended!
Sarah designed it great, thanks for the hour and clarification! Top! We were very pleased. Everything fit
Our family had an absolutely wonderful experience visiting the Sagrada Família with our guide, Yassir. From the very beginning, he was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the entire tour both enjoyable and meaningful for all of us. Yassir explained the history, symbolism, and architectural details in a clear and captivating way, bringing Gaudí’s vision to life. What truly stood out was his passion and ability to connect the deeper meaning of the basilica with personal reflection, making the experience not just informative, but also memorable and moving. We highly recommend Yassir to anyone visiting the Sagrada Família. He made our visit truly special, and we are very grateful for such a rich and inspiring experience.
