Meet your guide outside the Sagrada Familia
Connect with your friendly guide outside the Sagrada Familia. Look for the exact location on your booking voucher. Here, you’ll check in and prepare to enter Antoni Gaudí’s incredible basilica without wasting time waiting in the notoriously long line.
Learn about the two contrasting facades
Before heading inside, you’ll admire the exterior of this colossal work-in-progress, learning about its ongoing construction since 1882. Your guide will highlight the two contrasting sides: the Façade of Nativity and the Façade of Passion, explaining the intricate stories and symbolism carved into the stone.
Skip-the-line entry to Sagrada Familia
Thanks to your skip-the-line ticket, you'll enjoy fast-track access to the magnificent interior. Step inside and stand in awe of the dizzying height, the incredible forest of columns that mimic tree branches, and the intricate vaults that seem to touch the sky.
Walk beneath the forest of columns
Your guide explains how Gaudí studied trees to design these columns, angling them to carry weight the way branches do. Look up to see geometric vaults that bloom at the top, a fusion of engineering and nature that feels alive.
See the stained glass windows
On the eastern side, cool blues and greens wash the stone in morning light. On the west, warm reds and oranges glow like sunset. You'll learn how Gaudí planned every pane to shift the basilica's mood as the sun moves across the sky.

Xavier provided much information for our family group. He involved the children and pointed out features in the architecture that interested them. The only recommendation I would make is to begin ten tour on time. Our group of 14 arrived 15 minutes before the tour was to start. One participant was late and we all waited for nearly 30 minutes to begin the tour. This was not Xavier fault but the directions he received to keep waiting. He provided information while we waited, but by the time we arrived at the church it was approx 45 minutes after we arrived/ 20 min from when the tour was to begin. This made it harder for the parent of the younger children.
Great job.

Tour guide was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. There was a certain amount of standing around, maybe because of other tours, but that did create some tiredness/boredom. The building is impressive on the outside but the inside pales somewhat to other cathedrals in Europe. We are still glad we took the tour.
Highly recommend

Miguel was really great - very knowledgable and really made the history of this amazing church come alive. I left it until quite late to book tickets so took a punt on this tour and very glad I did. I’ve been many years ago so it was amazing to see the changes and learn so much more. Thoroughly recommend 🙂
Amazing Sagrada Familia

My daughter and I toured with Ester in August and it was soooo worth it. Had we just done the general admission tour we would have never learned many of the unique facts Ester shared. She was knowledgable and adapted to our group to keep us engaged and interested. Highly recommend Ester and this tour if you are contemplating visiting Sagrada Familia.
