Full description

Take a full guided tour of Barcelona’s magnificent Sagrada Familia Basilica and discover everything about the city’s most iconic landmark. Striking for its architectural features and art, the history of the Sagrada Familia is legendary. The all-consuming obsession of the Modernism architect, Antoni Gaudi, work on the building began in 1882 and remains unfinished to this day. During this tour, you will admire the contrasting Nativity and Passion façades. Your guide will explain the symbolism and representations of the Holy Family as an expression of Christian ideology constructed in stone. Marvel at its Christian iconography as you learn the history of the church, regardless of your faith. See the angled pillars sprouting like a web of tree branches to hold up the roof. Below ground lies the Museum Gaudí, where documentation about Gaudi’s life and work can be found. There is also a crypt where masses are held and a viewing platform above the burial site of the architect.

La opción de ir con guía siempre me ha parecido buena, pero el día anterior hice otro tour que incluía solo la parte exterior. Tuve más información con esa primera guía que con la que nos llevó dentro. Francamente no estuvo mal, pero podría mejorar, especialmente porque el tour es a la vez en inglés y español. Eso convierte la experiencia en algo más lento, y perdón, pero el nivel de inglés de la guía es apenas medio.

Really something to see. Interesting design, meaning in the different facades and definitely worth the visit. Guide was very knowledgeable and shared extremely interesting facts about the design, process and history. Definately need to go with a guide.

The personal guided tour was fine. Our guide did the tour in both English and Spanish. She did a great job with it considering it is a lot of saying the same thing twice. It was a lot of waiting for the other translation to finish, but at least there was a lot to look at. In hindsight we probably would have opted for the self-guided tour. The only bummer about the day is that the meeting spot provided by GetYourGuide which was supposed to be in the backside of the park across the street from the chapel was wrong. Our GPS told us we were within 3 yards of the spot. Our guide never showed up at that spot. After contacting them, the local guide service did a good job of putting us in touch with the guide who had 25 other guests with her. Unfortunately the meeting spot advertised by GetYourGuide was wrong and caused a scramble that morning. I attempted to contact GetYourGuide, but I think it was a computer I got connected with on Instant message that was less than helpful.
