Don’t visit Barcelona without seeing the Sagrada Familia. - I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. Our guide Mel was terrific and visiting the Sagrada Familia was more incredible than I had imagined it would be. Witnessing the interior bowled me over. It was a fascinating and powerful “wow” moment.

Outstanding tour! - What an outstanding experience in the beautiful city of Barcelona. The skip the line admittance to Sagrada Familia was worth the price alone. Our guide was Sergio and he couldn’t have been better. His knowledge and love of the city was very evident. He took us to some great spots in the Gothic Quarter, downtown and other parts of the city, including up in the hills of Montjuic which provides amazing views of the city. Our visit to the incredible Sagrada Familia was the highlight of the tour and we were given headsets so we could listen to Sergio’s narration. I left after the visit as I had booked the half day tour. Sergio is a very friendly, knowledgeable and professional guide and I’m sure the other guides at the agency are too.

Best of Barcelona - Rod, our guide, was outstanding! He took us to interesting and historical places. His presentation was very animated and expressive, infused with humor, and he was extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. The Sagrada Familia was awesome! I'm sure other guides from Explore Catalunya are very good, but I can definitely recommend Rodrigo for a wonderful tour.

Best tour of Barcelona - Rod, our guide, was outstanding! He not only showed us many interesting and historical places in Barcelona, he explained the history and significance of the things and places we saw. He was a great storyteller and regaled us with details about Gaudi and the Sgrada Familia with marvelous expressiveness and humor. It was a wonderful full-day tour.

A Great Way to Spend our Day in Barcelona! - This tour was a highlight of our Mediterranean cruise! Rod was an awesome tour guide - friendly, knowledgable, and fun. He gave us great insight into life in Catulunya and the life and works of Antonio Gaudi. I highly recommend this tour!

Strongly recommend this tour! - Fantastic tour with our guide Sergio! I did this tour with my daughter while on a Norwegian cruise and I was surprised at the level of detail. I have been on NCL tours and Viator was on another level. We were picked up at our port and Sergio was very fun, insightful and thoughtful of our time to get us back to our cruise port in time. I loved the timing of the music when he had us enter Sagrada Familia (you will understand if you take this tour), and the surprise he had for us at the Olympic Stadium. . I strongly recommend this tour and Viator!

Tour was good. Transportation instructions not good. - Very nice and knowledgeable guide. Had prebooked a cab. To return to the cruise port. Can never showed and we had to hail and pay for a second cab. Barely made it back to the ship which caused some anxiety. Also instructions to meet the driver at start of tour were wrong, again causing some anxiety
