- Basilica de la Sagrada Familia - 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. Look at some of the highlights of the museum, and see the crypt where Gaudí was buried following his death in 1926.

Worth the time and money when you’re limited with both. - Our tour guide (female, curly hair, about 5’4”) was prepared. She was at meeting location early and checked with everyone. She was knowledgeable about the history and present progress as well as issues related to the Segrada Familia constructions and politics. She was prepared with visual images to improve points.

Great overview of Sagrada Familia with skip-the-line tickets - Our family loves guided tours, and our tour of Sagrada Familia with Gloria did not disappoint. The 1 1/2 hrs was enough time to just skim all the information and history of it. Gloria was super animated and knowledgeable, patient with all questions. She uses a speaker that transmits to ear buds, which is helpful in the crowds. Would highly recommend!

Inspiring and graceful - Cannot wait to see the cathedral in finished form! Awe inspiring, to the point of tears. A love letter to God for the 21st century, started in the 19th. Gaudi, way ahead of his time.

Not worth the money. Not enough time. - The tour was very rushed, thankfully we were able to stay in the Basilica after the tour.
Definitely not worth the money.
