Itinerary
Your tour starts right by La Sagrada Familia, where you’ll meet your group (max 22 people) and your guide. If you select the Small Group Tour option at time of booking, you'll join a small group of just 15 people. Enter the magnificent Sagrada Família via the Nativity Façade, the only one that Antoni Gaudí finished in his lifetime. Compare the different faces of the cathedral, and learn what parts remain unfinished almost 130 years after work started under the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar in 1882. Hear how Gaudí’s plans have been interpreted since his death and learn about the controversies surrounding these interpretations. Move between the columns designed like trees that form the canopy of the ceiling. Explore how Gaudí developed his style from different religious, natural, and Catalonian influences. Get a better appreciation for his innovative use of light as you bask in the glow of the stained-glass windows that flood the interior with an other-worldly light.
If you select the Sagrada Familia & Casa Batllo option at time of booking, your tour starts near Casa Batlló, where you'll discover one of the architect's most famous residential homes. Your visit is timed for a quieter time of day to avoid the crowds and includes expert commentary from your guide.
