Absolutely fascinating. Marta knows every corner and every story like no one else. By far the best tour we've done in Europe.

After Jordi's tour, you'll never see the Sagrada Familia the same way again. Every symbol, every detail explained with passion.

We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance. Our groups are small (max 20 people) and tend to fill up quickly on weekends and high season.
Yes. We have tours in Spanish, English and Italian every day. Some tours are also available in French upon request.
Tours run with light rain (the pink umbrella isn’t just for show!). If there’s a severe weather warning, we cancel and notify you by email. You can reschedule at no cost.
