Meet Your Local Guide
Your day begins promptly early in the afternoon in front of the Sagrada Familia, where you’ll meet your guide and fellow explorers for the day. Please aim to arrive around 10 minutes before the start time, as we promise, you’ll want a bit of extra time to take in the intricate details of the church’s exterior. From towering spires to tiny details, it’s one of those structures where the longer you look, the more there is to see—and we have Antoni Gaudí to thank for this.
Gaudí started its construction in 1882 and dedicated over 40 years of his life to the Sagrada Familia, and yet, it still remains unfinished. At the time of his passing, only one of the facades, the Nativity Facade, was largely finished, along with one tower. But it wasn’t for lack of effort. The intricate designs dreamed up by Gaudí made for a slow process, and while his passing in 1926 left the project in a state of uncertainty, construction has continued and today you’ll see a very nearly finished church.
Marvel at the Sagrada Familia
Now that you’ve had the chance to admire the exterior of the Sagrada Familia, it’s time to head inside. Thanks to your skip-the-line tickets, you’ll bypass the queue and quickly be immersed in the spectacular interior Gaudí dreamed up. While your expert guide leads the way, ponder the basilica's stunning stained glass windows, decorative floor elements, and ornate ceiling carvings. The Jesus dome also promises to be a highlight, and while it’s still under construction, it’s easy to see how this will become the tallest temple in the world once finished.
Continue your journey to Park Güell
Once you've taken in the awe-inspiring beauty and intricate details of the Sagrada Familia, the next leg of your journey awaits at the equally iconic Park Güell—another of Antoni Gaudí's architectural masterpieces. While this tour package does not include transportation, your guide is here to point you in the right direction. In about 30 minutes by walking or metro or 10 minutes by taxi you’ll be on time and ready for the next meeting point at Carretera del Carmel, 23
Explore Park Güell
Meet with your guide and tour fellows you'll bypass again the queue thanks to your skip-the-line tickets and soon find yourself surrounded by Park Güell’s remarkable architecture and vibrant mosaics. Follow your guide’s lead through the park's winding paths and happen upon significant monuments, whimsical sculptures, and intricate mosaics—each with its own story of history, art, and Gaudí's unique perspective on nature. Built between 1900 and 1914 the park is one of the largest green spaces in Barcelona.
After your guided tour concludes, you'll have the freedom to explore Park Güell on your own. Bid farewell to your guide and fellow group members, then, linger around to discover hidden nooks, enjoy panoramic views of Barcelona, and simply relax in this unique urban oasis. Thanks for joining!
