Full description

Make your visit to the Sagrada Familia unforgettable with a 1.5-hour guided tour of Gaudí’s masterpiece. See the Basilica’s dream-like façade and interior in a small-group or private tour setting accompanied by an expert guide.

During the tour you will learn about the ongoing construction, the current predicted completion date, and the generations of craftspeople, architects and artists learned how to bring Gaudi’s vision to life. Your guide will meet you outside, starting the tour with a little introduction before heading to the Basilica’s entrance. After you’ve headed through security, hear all about the Nativity Façade, the first completed section of the Basilica. Next, you will step into the interior of the Sagrada Familia. Marvel at the world created by the intense colored light from the stained glass windows and the branch-like columns extending over the ceiling.

Gaudí intended for the interior to look and feel like a walk through the woods, with the light exuding a sense of sifting through forest leaves.  As you exit the Basilica you will hear about the Passion Façade, representing the story of Jesus’ crucifixion. Experience the drama of the Passion through the tower’s stark and angular sculptures. This façade, like most of the Sagrada Familia, was built after Gaudí’s death.  Head to Sagrada Familia Schools next, designed for the children of the workers building the Sagrada Familia. Hear how it was reconstructed more than once and even moved locations to make way for the Basilica.  Your last stop will be the Sagrada Familia Museum, where your guide will share original sketches and plans with you that demonstrate the complexity of Gaudi's architecture and vision. Find artifacts here from Gaudi’s life and the Basilica's own history, like his upside-down model of the Basilica.

Our guide was fantastic! He looked after my mum and I really well (mum was in a wheelchair, she is 88). Beautifully explained the church's history and architecture with interesting stories of old. We found our guide really easily everything was VERY well organised from start to finish.

We enjoyed this tour of La Sagrada Familie. It was late November and although the lines probably weren’t as long as they are in summer, we do feel like we saved time. Our guide was very friendly and pointed out many things to the group that we never would have noticed without a guide. Although the church may never be finished, it is amazing to see and absolutely stunning. There were audio sets to help hear over the crowds. The tour lasted approximately 1 1/2 hours including time to pass through security. I definitely feel that the tour was worth doing and I am glad we signed up for it.

Jaime was great. Just enough information & pointing out architecture, symbolism & history without doing your head in. We went straight in & his tour was well worth the extra money compared to normal entry ticket. We could have stayed in the cathedral after the tour if we’d wanted so good value.
