DO NOT RECOMMEND!!
I booked a tour through Viator (Ref: BR-1291556589) and had an incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience. The tour was scheduled to start at 9:00 AM. I arrived at 9:05 AM due to unavoidable traffic, but I had sent a message to the operator at 8:57 AM to let them know I was running a few minutes late.
Despite this, when I arrived, the guide had already left — not just leaving me behind, but **five of us** in total. It is absolutely unacceptable to abandon a significant portion of a group without any kind of courtesy call or short grace period, especially when one of us had communicated proactively.
To make matters worse, Viator’s customer service was appalling. I spent over 45 minutes on the phone, was transferred twice, and both representatives I spoke with were rude, unhelpful, and dismissive. One even implied that the situation was my fault without listening to the full context. Zero empathy or willingness to help resolve the issue.
I paid for a tour I never received, lost time and money, and was treated disrespectfully by a company that supposedly prides itself on customer care. This experience was unacceptable from start to finish.
I have requested a full refund and expect this to be resolved promptly. If not, I will be taking this further through consumer protection channels.
Avoid booking with this company if you value professionalism, communication, or basic courtesy.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hello Vanessa,
We’re really sorry to hear that things didn’t go as expected on the day of your tour. We completely understand how disappointing that must have felt, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to reach out and let us know you were on your way. As soon as we received your message, we immediately passed the information on to the guide.
However, as we explained during our conversation that day, entrance to the Sagrada Familia is based on strictly timed tickets. This schedule is set by the monument itself, and unfortunately, once the group enters at the designated time, we’re unable to delay entry or issue replacement tickets. The guide is required to proceed as planned in order to comply with the site’s regulations.
We always do our best to help guests catch up when it’s logistically possible, and in many cases we’re able to make it work. Still, with certain time-sensitive tours like this one, there’s very limited flexibility.
We understand this wasn’t the outcome you were hoping for, and we genuinely regret that you weren’t able to arrive on time. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
Best regards,
Team ExperienceFirst

Maria was a fantastic tour guide! I’m so glad we did this tour we learned so much and it was so enjoyable. A highlight of our trip!

Maria guide
Good communication English, passionate explanation.
Very good . Better to get guided tour as it’s more interesting to listen to gsudi story .
DavidB_C, Jul 2025
Great guided tour to Parc Guell and Sagrada Familia. Our tour guide, Maria was fantastic, very knowledgeable and clear.
Jennifer_H, Jul 2025
Our tour guide Maria with experience first was very knowledgeable, and the tour was very informative. She was so good you could even see other people not on our tour trying to listen in. Sagrada Familia is well worth the visit, and you get so much more from the experience with the tour.
William_V, Jul 2025
The tour is limited and you don’t get to explore on your own if you get the double excursion. You won’t have time to see other areas of the park or the basilica. Wish they would have disclosed this, so that we could have purchased directly to these sites. We missed out on interior sections that we wanted to see.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hi William,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the tour didn’t fully meet your expectations. Our double excursion is designed to offer a seamless guided experience covering the main highlights of both sites, which does mean there’s less time for independent exploration. Many guests enjoy the in-depth stories and insights shared by our guides, but we understand your preference for more free time. We’ll keep your comments in mind to make sure our tour descriptions are even clearer.
Best regards,
Team ExperienceFirst

Absolutely stunning outside and inside. Every detail serves a purpose and tells a story. The stained glass and the light through it is beautiful. Our guide Adrian was knowledgeable and had lots of information
Konstantinos_V, Jun 2025
Amazing tour and the tour guide Adria (hope I remember the name correctly) was perfect and full of energy including fun facts into the tour. I really felt I learned a lot! Couldn't ask for more, what a beautiful way to see two of the most iconic sights in Barcelona and without waiting in any lines!
Elisa_S, Jun 2025
We had an amazing experience learning about the Sagrada familia. I cannot remember our tour guides name but he had brown hair and glasses. He was so kind and informative. His voice was soothing and took you into the mind of Guadi. You can tell he truly loves speaking about the structure and all of it's meaning. This was our favorite tour of our Barcelona trip. I would highly recommend.
Selissa_D, May 2025
Paula was amazing! Very informative and accommodating. I would definitely would recommend booking with her!!

I was not given the opportunity to visit the tower even though I requested and pay for that service.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
