A very informative and well presented tour of Gaudi's three main works and the history and concepts behind his creative design. It also showed his struggles and his ability to give freedom to the architects who went on to finish his work after he passed away
Anthony_S, Jul 2026
Well worth the money and experience. Our guide was awesome and learning about the history of Spain and the building was really great.
Jamie_B, Jul 2026
This was one of the best tours I’ve been on—Jana was excellent, knowledgeable, funny, and an all-around great guide. Well worth every penny, and doing both locations is definitely a lot to take in, but the pace was super manageable and easy. I went as a solo traveler, and was super happy with the experience, as well as the small group size. Would absolutely recommend!

Terrible, terrible experience.
We went to Barcelona to see the Segrada Famiglia and didn’t get in. Couldn’t find our guide, couldn’t contact ANYONE. Took an hour to get through and be told they couldn’t contact the guide. Why they didn’t send us the actual tickets to get in is beyond me. We had 8 tickets costing hundreds of pounds. We made up half of the group but no one tried to contact us either. Now trying to get a refund and no one is responding to my emails. Ruined our holiday.
Michael_H, Jul 2026
Very well organised. The Viator app tells you everything you need to know. Things happened as planned.
Daema_P, Jul 2026
The worst. Avoid these scammers. They charged us $1450 and actually never showed up. No one answers the phone. Viator is currently trying to process a refund for us. We were stuck without going inside the sagrada familia.
Maria_P, Jul 2026
There is walking and stairs involved. But the views of the architecture were amazing. Our guide Maria was excellent, very knowledgeable and patient (we had some participants of the tour who were not considerate of the others). Would definitely take another tour with her.
Kristian_S, Jul 2026
Our family loved the tour and much thanks to the guide we ended up with. Mel was super nice, introduced different aspects about Casa Batlló and Sagrada Familia with passion. A good balance of humour and professionalism, a friendly and warm person.
We have not visited Sagrada Familia any other day time, so we can't share personal insights, but based on our experience, we tend to agree with Mel that visiting Sagrada Familia in the evening (the tour started around 4 pm at Casa Batlló) offers spectacular visual delights - the magic that the light creates inside the church is indescribable.
Our verdict: 5/5 for the tour.
Our conclusion: Gaudi was not a human being, no mortal man could come up with such elaborate designs that touch or reach perfection.
Valentine_W, Jun 2026
Beautiful! Anna was a great guide! Very knowledgeable patient and kind. She provided lots of information.
Thomas_J, Jun 2026
It’s completely deceptive that they send you a “voucher” that looks like a ticket but it isn’t. If you don’t read the fine print in the email, you will be in the same predicament. When I went to the destination, they were at another location and there was no way I could make it in time. When I called twice, they said they can’t get in touch with the the tour guide, and o had no ticket. They wouldn’t even offer a refund for the $160 I spent. I would not recommend Viator, and still waiting for someone in mgmt to offer a refund.
ChristopherJ_S, Jun 2026
Tour was guide was timely and well identified. Very knowledgeable and made the experience humorous and interesting. Spoke perfect English and was very accommodating. The husband cathedral were iconic and a must do at least once. Your moves well without feeling rushed and allows for pics and questions. Bring walking shoes and there is stair climbing and a metro ride included.
Tony_S, Jun 2026
It was amazing and mind boggling . Be ready to be blown away by the structure and building of it over the years it took till now
VV_W, Jun 2026
in general it wasnt too bad.
But the tour guide was late and didnt hold a green sign which was mentioned jn the instructions. Instead she had a green tote bad. We were unable to see her at 3.45pm, I thought the tour guide normally showed up early. As didnt see them, we asked the casa Batllo staff who directed to the ticket office for changing tickets. But the office said we should look for the tour guide. We were panicking if we had missed the tour and no tickets to the attractions.
If the tour allows up to 99 age, should look after more and provided information up front. The tour guide said inference at the roof top normally so the microphone was off and not sure when the microphone was back on, also there is only a small range between her speaker and our earphones. Not sure when she said can take lift from the top to the bottom. Same again she only mentioned at the last minute at Sagrada, we had walked the stairs already.
The tour didnt allow time at the store of Casa Batllo. And taking metro from Batllow to Sagrada.
In additon, its a bit late starting the tour at 4pm, should start 3pm.
Seems like using 10 travel pass at the metro. We thought may be private bus as transport. So the cost of the tour its too pricey.
Angel_G, Jun 2026
This was an incredible tour. Jana our tour guide was amazing and you could really notice her passion about the history. I would love to do tours with her again!
parisa_l, Jun 2026
Our tour was with “Walk” and the tour guide was Jana and she is the best. She is very knowledgeable about these structures.
Diana_S, Jun 2026
Everyone should see the inside of the Salada Familia! Our guide was very informative and we also really enjoyed seeing Casa Batlló. Be sure to check your meeting location for the tour!
Jing_Y, Jun 2026
Very irresponsible operator. We have reached out to them several times without getting a response.
We booked a tour (#1396645213) with the Walks. The trip includes two visits - Casa Battleo and Sagrada Familia. Before the tour we were told that Casa Battleo will not be included and we will be visiting Casa Vicens (We have the email proof!), so we visited Casa Battleo by ourselves in the morning. When we met our guide Valentina in the afternoon before the tour, we were told that Casa Battleo is part of the tour and there was no plan to go to Casa Vicens! We were very disappointed and showed her the email. She suggested us to skip Casa Battleo since we already visited, then join the group for the second half for the Sagrada Familia visit. She also asked us to request refund. Valentina is great while the whole process is disappointing and confusing, especially waiting 1.5 hour outside of Casa Battleo which was not part of our trip plan.
We submitted a partial refund request through Viator, and got rejected by the operator. We kept emailing the operator and they chose to ignore our emails without giving an explanation. Again, please reconsider when booking with them.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hi Jing,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for kindly providing your booking details.
I am very sorry for the confusion surrounding your tour. Having reviewed your comments, I can completely understand how frustrating this situation must have been. T
I am pleased to hear that Valentina did her best to assist you on the day, and I will be sure to pass along your kind words to her.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Wonderful tour. Our tour guide Albert was excellent. He was very informative. A perfect gentleman who went above & beyond
Luis_S, May 2026
Valentina was very knowledgeable, positive and engaging throughout this tour. I really enjoyed my visits!
Jessica_P, May 2026
What a horrible experince. Do NOT book this. Book with Sagrada or any other company. We arrived 10 minutes early. NO ONE had a flag or banner to show which tour they were with. We went from group to group asking if they were viator. No one spoke English and we called viator and the tour 3 minutes into the tour after scrambling and panicking (and crying) that we couldn’t find a tour guide. No one offered to help and the woman on the phone with the company was so RUDE and hateful. We flew from Colorado to see Spain and this was a HUGE part of our trip and absolutely ruined our day and Barcelona day experience. I was crying for 2 hours outside Sagrada. Horrible. Do NOT book this. Anyone else but this tour.
MITZ_N, May 2026
So full of wonderful history. The guide was very well informed. This is something that should not be missed when in Barcelona
Carol_M, May 2026
Antonio was a wonderful tour guide. He had in-depth knowledge and went above and beyond to make sure we all understood the carvings and statues on the outside of the Sagrada Família church. He made generous accommodations for my mobility scooter so that I did not miss anything.
Patricia_F, Apr 2026
I really enjoyed this tour even though I have been to Sagrada Familia before. Our tour guide was great about explaining the differences in the ten years since I have been there. He gave us an excellent overview of Gaudi, including other information about the city. I think his name might have been Albertino? He was excellent and I think to visit Barcelona and NOT pay the money to enter the Cathedral is a mistake if you can afford to go in - it's an amazing space. I also enjoyed the museum attached to Sagrada Familia.
Aoife_O, Apr 2026
Great way to see inside Sagrada Familia without waiting in line. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us about the meaning of each facade.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

A smoothly-run skip-the-line tour, as long as you get there a few minutes early. Informative and an amazing sight to see. The tour guide was energetic. Only complaint is it was hard to hear in the headphones at times.
Response from Host, Nov 2025

Our travel guide was super knowledgeable about the church. He did an excellent job.
He explained the architecture very well. The time allowed was really perfect.

Great architecture however the tour itself was too short in my opinion. Tour guide was great and knowledgeable but felt like tour itself should be longer for the price charged.
Erick_V, Sep 2025
