It's was real nice, our guide was speaking very clearly and explained very nicely. At the end he took us up to the towers and then just melted out of existence into the background Not a bad thing haha just funny suddenly we were all on our own to roam the Basilica, I was going to thank him for the tour but hope you can do that instead for me. Overall it was a good experience thank you

The Sagrada Família is really worth seeing. It looks a bit playful compared to other churches, but that doesn't matter because the building itself is great. Our guide explained and narrated a lot and in detail and the guided tour in English is also easy to understand. After a guided tour, you don't have to leave immediately and can have a look around yourself.

    Insightful and Enjoyable Tour with Roger We had a great experience on our group tour of the Sagrada Família with Roger as our guide. He was knowledgeable, clear, and engaging, and did a fantastic job of keeping the group involved and on track. Roger explained the history, architecture, and symbolism of Gaudí’s work in a way that was accessible and interesting, even for those with no background in art or architecture. He was well-prepared, professional, and made sure everyone could follow along, regardless of where we were in the group. What stood out most was his genuine enthusiasm and ability to highlight small details that added so much depth to the experience. He also took the time to answer questions thoughtfully, which we really appreciated. Overall, a very well-organized and informative tour. Roger added a personal touch to a group setting, and we left with a much greater appreciation for the Sagrada Família. Highly recommended!
  • Skip the lines and explore Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia on a 1.5-hour guided tour, with included tower access for panoramic city views.

    Getting started

    Meet your expert local guide at the designated spot. After a quick ticket check and breezy security screening, you’ll head inside one of the most iconic basilicas on Earth.

    What to expect

    Sagrada Familia

    Part architectural wonder, part eternal work-in-progress, the Sagrada Familia is Barcelona’s most visited landmark—and for good reason. Designed by the legendary Antoni Gaudí, this still-unfinished basilica blends Catalan Modernism, deep symbolism, and nature-inspired forms in ways that are anything but ordinary.

    Features

    • Fast-track entry: Skip the famously long queues and walk right into Gaudí’s wild vision in stone and light.

    • Expert-guided insights: Get the backstory on Gaudí’s designs, construction delays, and why cranes have become part of the skyline.

    • Stained glass windows: Watch sunlight pour through multicolored windows, bathing the nave in ethereal hues that change by the hour.

    • Nature-inspired interiors: Marvel at the ceiling’s branching pillars and the intricate “Trencadís” mosaic technique unique to Catalonia.

    • Tower access: Take the elevator up one of the towers—without climbing 400 steps—and soak in sweeping views of Barcelona’s rooftops, sea, and sky.

    • Exterior façades: Explore the Nativity and Passion façades, each rich with detailed sculptures and symbolic elements.

    • Gaudí’s crypt and museum: Step into the quiet space where Gaudí rests, then explore original plans, scale models, and the stories behind his obsession with light and form.

    You can choose between an English, Spanish, or bilingual (English & Spanish) guided tour.

    What’s not allowed

    • Keep in mind that food & beverages, narcotic substances, and sharp metallic tools or objects are not allowed on this experience. Pack wisely!

    • Strict dress code: Shoulders and knees must be covered; tank tops, strapless shirts, short shorts, short skirts, exposed backs or bellies, see-through clothing, flip-flops, bare feet, swimwear, festive attire, or clothing with designs that draw attention for religious or promotional purposes are not allowed.

    Additional information

    • You can only enter the basilica at your booked time or up to 15 minutes afterward; the basilica does not accommodate late arrivals. Be sure to get there early, just to be safe.

    • Fast-track entry skips the ticket line, not security. All visitors must pass a mandatory security check, so brief waits may still occur—especially during peak hours. For a smoother experience, aim for early mornings or weekday visits.

    • Access to the towers is not permitted for children under 6 years old, unaccompanied minors under 18, people with reduced mobility, visual impairments, vertigo, or cardiovascular problems.

    • In case of adverse weather conditions, access to the towers may be closed without prior notice.

    • To descend from the towers, you must use the stairs; elevator access is only available for the ascent.

    • There may be a short wait time between your tour of the basilica and access to the towers due to limited elevator capacity.

    • Your guide will not accompany you to the towers; the tower visit is self-guided.

    • Your voucher will be emailed to you instantly.

    • Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the meeting point.

    • Please arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before the scheduled time of your visit to avoid any delays.
