Highlights
  • Basilica de la Sagrada Familia - Our Quick Access Tour of the Sagrada Familia starts just steps away from the temple, on Gaudí Avenue.

We’ll begin by admiring the basilica’s oldest façade, the Nativity – the only one Gaudí himself saw completed. This façade resembles a burst of nature, almost serving as a portal to a grand forest.

Inside, prepare for one of the most breathtaking moments of your journey as you witness the interplay of light and color from the stained glass windows, set against the backdrop of towering columns that echo giant trees, all supporting the Sagrada Familia’s 18 spires. Upon completion, the central Jesus tower will crown this temple as the tallest religious building in the world, reaching a soaring height of 172.5 meters.

Lastly, the Passion façade, a more recent addition, poignantly depicts the final hours of Jesus Christ with a stark and allegorical design.

Following the tour, you’re invited to remain inside the temple, taking your time to explore its wonders at your own pace.

Great Tour Operators - The tour was very well organised and the guide was very knowledgeable. She had a funny sense of humour and was able to explain most of our questions we had. I absolutely recommend getting this if you want to skip the line for Sagrida de Familia.

Amazing time at Sagrada Familia. - Really enjoyed our guide, she had a good sense of humor and took the time to point out spots we could return to after the tour to check out more fully. Loved hearing the history of the construction of the cathedral and all of the reasons for special features such as the balconies, and words on the doors. Our guide was very well informed and exuded enthusiasm.

Worthwhile investment - Fantastic tour, we visited the outside of the building last year and regretted not being able to book a tour inside, came back to do it this year and not disappointed! Very worthwhile if you are interested in the stories behind the building.

Awe inspiring church - Meeting point was easy to find. Tour guide was very knowledgable and easy to follow. Only issue was the headset quality was poor. For both of us, Muffled, staticky and only one ear worked on mine. I think the headsets are issued for all groups by the church so this may not be the tour company’s fault. If you like to get a lot of background on the site, the tour is worth it but can also wonder around on your own as the church is amazing and one of the highlights of our Barcelona visit.

GREAT TOUR - DISAPPOINTING GUIDE - Hearing the history behind design and construction of this amazing site. Seeing all aspects of Sagrada and hearing the stories behind how it came to be...plus future plans for expansion. The guide was what made the tour not outstanding. Her answers to questions were "canned" and not accurately informed.
