Beautiful Cathedral well highlighted by our guide. The history was well explored and explained by our guide . We would never have known about the 13 geese without the guide. She also talked about the festival of Sant Elulia too which brought the exhibits to life.

Really enjoyed having an English speaking guide for this tour. The ear piece meant that you could clearly hear her which was great. The roof terrace views were spectacular.

    The guide did her best. Her English was adequate but not extensive so she did not give a lot of detail and it was unclear sometimes to what she was referring. It was only her second tour and she should have rehearsed more and been given more training. She was pleasant and was obviously trying to do well but the tour was expensive and we did not get value for money.

  • Barcelona Cathedral: A gothic exhibition set in stone

    Explore the Gothic architectural masterpiece of the Barcelona Cathedral as you gaze upon its towering spires, intricate carvings, and gargoyle statues peeking from above. The cathedral inside invites you to marvel at the elegant Catalan-style choir and nave, looked upon by high vaulted ceilings – all adorned with sunlight peeking through 14th century stained glass windows. If you look closely, you can see the windows adorned by religious depictions of that century. Your skip-the-line ticket includes an expert guide in multiple languages who will lead you out the Cloister – a serene 14th century courtyard surrounded by covered walkways, and further to the chapel of Saint Lucia.

    14th century time travel: where history meets VR!

    Soak in the 14th century Barcelona charm as you approach the Cloister — a medieval courtyard surrounded by limestone columns right outside the Cathedral. Wander Your guide will take you to the Chapel of Saint Lucia next, where you can learn about the 13 years of Saint Eulalia's life, who was martyred at an early age with 13 swan sculptures depicting her story. Your ticket also offers a 5-minute virtual reality tour that will whisk you to 14th century Barcelona. Excite the child in you as you soar past walls and through the cloister, exploring the crypt & witnessing a city reborn in medieval glory. A true blend of tradition and modern technology!
