- 424marybethf00Beautiful BarcelonaWe loved the tour and our guide was great Highly recommended the trip and would do it again. So much to see
- O9867YMsusannej00Half day trip BarcelonaMiri, was amazing. We had such a great time and learned a lot about Barcelona. Loved going on the funicular.
- Roving6548742188000My experienceGreat experience, would rate it 4.5/5. I really like how the bus stops are clearly laid out and easily spotted! This saves a lot of time and stress. The staff were generally quite cool and friendly, gives a good vibe. One thing that I find inconvenient is that the audio tour is quite often out of tune with the real tour, it is often ahead, so the audio narrates about a building (detailed narration though) and I have no idea which one they are talking about until 10 seconds later, where the bus reaches it. If improvement can be made on that part, I would give a 5 out 5. Would recommend!
- cats62500Wonderful Trip!Had a wonderful afternoon trip to Monserrat! Celia was incredibly knowledgeable and told us everything we needed to know (in english). I only wish we had more time there!
- kyikyitheinl00Lovely time at MontserratOur group's guide Sylvia was amazing and I love the way she is very welcoming and her stories about the Montserrat. I joined the PM tour and I heard AM tour is much better because it has +1 hour and weather is milder. Overall, I do enjoy the visit 💝

- N2282WDjamesm00Our guide Anna was fantastic. The seats were way too small for adults.The guide Anna was so full of energy and enthusiasm that she made learning fun! Unfortunately, I was told I could go to the WC in 50 minutes and actually couldn’t go for another 20 minutes. Also the seats on the bus were very small and. We were miserable. Anna is the only thing that made this a professional tour. I would go anywhere with her.
- xenaga_justin00Great Tour!This is definitely a worthy trip despite having to wake up super early to catch the 8am tour bus. The view and landscape of Montserrat is just mesmerizing and provides serenity we need. Anna who is our tour guide was fluent in both Espanol and English and was super friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip!

The tour was bilingual but the tour guide was fantastic. The Sagrada Familia is jaw droppingly beautiful and immensely interesting. The tour was well worth the euros.

Our guide, Manu, was a great storyteller. Her energy and engagement with the group was outstanding. I am giving Manu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
The group was a little large and the cathedral was very busy. Maneuvering inside the cathedral was difficult.
Unfortunately, we did not get a change to see the crypt. The lighting inside the cathedral was pretty magical in the afternoon . Overall, a worthwhile visit to get acquainted with the Sagrada Familia.

We were glad we chose to take a guided tour of Sagrada familia with Julia travel.The meeting point was easy to find to collect the tickets and join up with the tour guide and the rest of the tour group .The tour guide Raul was very friendly and very knowledgeable about Sagrada Familia. I think if we hadn’t had use a guided tour,we wouldn’t have found out so much information about Sagrada Familia exterior and interior.We would recommend this tour .

Dear mv0lpi,
Thank you for sharing this review,
It saddens me to learn that Sagrada Familia guided tour didn't live up to your expectations,
Please bear in mind, that we do offer daily tours in which English is the only spoken language, but we also offer bilingual tours which was your tour option,
Best regards,

I visited La Sagrada Familia from the outside several times at day and night, but to be honest, found it to be an odd looking place.
However, many convinced me that it was worth checking out in more detail, so I booked this tour to see the inside. Our guide was very insightful and really opened my eyes to the wonder of how the designs came about (which I came in with no preconceptions or ideas about). Specifically, how everything was explicitly thought out by Gaudi, where things were not symmetric, building from the outside in, and many nuances of how things were selected. The interior was really, really beautiful with less religious imagery, but designs for morning and evening stained glass. I really enjoyed the more squarish statue designs and the legend of St. George.
All in all, I found it to be well worth the time, just to understand the complex history, of over 100 years of making, the plan for 2026 completion, and the delays due to Covid up to 2033. Highly recommend it!

No, just as Colino772 mentioned, pick up your tickets at the office across the road from Sagrada Familia. And leave extra time before your tour is scheduled to start, it was very chaotic inside the office with multiple tours departing at the same time.

Can I take my 3 years old with me inside the church? I was told it is only for 6 years old and above.
Shall I have a tour guide or just do it on my own.

I saw people of all ages there including very young children. I did not see any signs that restricted ages at all. We did a tour which was nice, but not great. You can do an audio tour too which is probably better because the guide was hard to understand because it was so loud in there with all the people. It does get crowded so a timed tour may be better if you are going at a peak time.

Do you offer any private tour? My husband and I are on a Norweigian cruise that docks on Dec 8 at 9am. We want to go to Sagrada Familia and Christmas market nearby, have lunch and return to ship by 5. My husband walks with a cane and can only walk short distances and cannot climb more than 3-4 stairs. Can you provide us a private tour ?

Are these tours focused on children too or just adults? We are traveling with a 14 y.o. And a 7.5 y.o.

I agree with the other persons comments. The 14 year old should be ok, but think it isn't really suitable for a 7 year old. Suggest just visit without going on the tour as still lots to see. A wonderful place..

I don’t know- for me it is a matter of timing, and my availability. I have had three tours- one great- two mediocre. They seem to be about timing of entrance and access.
