Our guide was extremely knowledgeable (I believe he was also an architect), easy to understand, humerous and personable. Enjoyed this tour immensely.👍🏼👍🏼Antonio Gaudi was an absolute genius. To him and all the artists, sculptors, engineers and workers (in no certain order), I thank-you for this ✨Wonder of Wonders✨, Segrada Familia.🙏🏼💕✌🏽 Theresa & Veronica from Montreal Canada

Fantastic experience, the meeting place was perfectly identifiable and even the restaurant themselves already knew; the explanation by the guide was fantastic and phenomenal, every detail of the Sagrada Familia was explained clearly, I did not find a guide in Spanish, but all his English was perfect. Fortunately I found the last 2 places to visit the Sagrada Familia on this platform, otherwise I would not have been able to enter after so much traveling. Highly recommended.

Guide did a good job of getting us into and around the venue. Unfortunately the audio wasn't too clear. Our guide was quite knowledgeable but maybe a bit too detailed. A number of people ventured off on their own as they lost interest. I don't want to be too harsh but it would have been better if she had interjected some humor or an interesting story.

Very knowledgeable tour guide. Easy purchase online for tower tickets tour. Good communication about meeting place. However, the guide had no sign or any obvious way for us to identify her. There were many groups forming up in the area. She approached us since we quite obviously looked lost and confused. After that everything went quite smoothly.

Our guide, Patricia, was excellent. The only negative comment I have is that the diagram of the group meeting place on the Headout app is very misleading. The tour gathered immediately outside Burger King, not across the street on the edge of the park. We almost missed the tour for that reason.

The Sagrada Familia was amazing and my guide explained everything really clearly. There is not enough time to see everything on the tour, there is too much to see for anyone to fit into a tour. It was great that I could stay behind afterwards, sit for a while, then explore the rest of the Church, the museum and the school. It was a really good value tour and I am really glad that I did it.

We didn't pre book the sagrada familia as recommended, so finding tickets during our 3 day stay was problematic, eventually found head out who could get us tickets much earlier than the main tour operators. Paid a little more which I didn't mind. The experience was fantastic and professional. I wasn't sure if I'd been scammed at first having never heard of headout. But wow brilliant, I'm not even going to delete the app 👍 I would definitely recommend if you're having trouble finding tickets. Thankyou so much to our lovely tour guide she was amazing

La Sagrada Familia - truly special and uplifting with a great tour guide We visited yesterday with Lena - she is an awesome and passionate Guide. We have been to La Sagrada several times but not for awhile. Lena was able to move us v quickly through the checking in process and given the crowds made sure we got to see all the highlights. She explained v well the history, the meaning of the various components re the Biblical interpretations, Gaudi's vision and what still lies ahead re the task of completion. We have done many tours in our travels and this tour was well organised and great value for money. My only hint to Lena is with all her passion it would help if she slowed down a little re her information as she does speak v quickly - but so do most Spanish tour guides. Also Lena has put together her own v comprehensive reference book which she used to help illustrate her talking /information points. This was very informative. Thanks Lena you really added to my knowledge and love for La Sagrada - this is my favourite building in the world and you helped to make my return visit after more than 5 yrs special.

I didn't know it was an English speaking tour. We expected more time and more information. The guide was very correct and very well disposed, but evidently what was stated by the company was not what we expected. We also did not know that it did not include the climb to the tower. Maybe it was our mistake not to read more carefully what the tour was like. Or maybe the information on the website was not good. Or a combination of both. Next time we will inform ourselves better.

The Sagrada is a must for all visitors to Barcelona. The 2nd part of the tour, Park Güell, is just as fascinating. It all started a bit chaotically as we mixed up part 1 with part 2 of the tour. But it was our mistake. However, Headout helped us out of the "fix" and offered us a prompt replacement date for the missed part. The guides were also very professional and knowledgeable. All in all, a great experience despite the confusion at the beginning.

First of all, the images of the meeting place were incorrect. I got a call, luckily I picked up and the meeting place was not very visible but across the street from the picks provided. The guide was awesome along with the church. Lastly if you select the upper level view, the elevator will take you up but you will have to take the stairs down, handrails are not available the entire way down.

The tour was really interesting. The guide was great, knew her stuff. There were quite a lot in our group and lots of people milling around in other groups so it was actually quite hard to keep track of the guide in the crowds. It's cringe but it would have helped if she'd worn something identifying or held something up so we could spot her in the crowd. The weather was very hot, and there was a lot of standing around in the heat outside. Not much the tour guide could do about the weather of course...but just by way of feedback. pack a fan and a hat for outside

It was entirely our fault, but was missed our appointed time by 5 minutes and missed our tour. The desk was able to reschedule us for another tour 2 hours later at a cost of 78€. Our fault. My wife had booked the tour, but as she was using my credit card the email came to me. I read the first screen and thought I understood the instructions but I didn't read to the bottom of the email. The instructions were clear but it was mandatory that you read the entire email. Again, our fault. I just wish the instructions had been clearer and at 5he top of the email. Otherwise, great tour. Thank you.

The guide was very knowledgeable However to find her was very hard and stressful. Headout notes stated the guide will have a pink sign. There was no pink sign. The sign she had she was sitting on it and did not display it at all. We could not see it. We had to ask every person we saw if they were IBE. It was very stressful. You need to notify your customers exactly where to meet and the sign needs to be bigger and clearer.

My experience with Headout was very good and I'm very appreciative! The guide was A+++!!!! Unfortunately, the weather was not very good (nothing Headout could do to change that). But, our ticket was the fast track guided tour with tower access (Booking ID: 16829574) and we couldn't do that due to the severe rain on April 29th. Is it possible to have that portion of the experience refunded? Appreciate your assistance, John Jackson Johncailynelise@yahoo.com 1-(802)-522-9087

Actually this trip was a total failure the guide was not where we were told to meet him before or up to half an hour after the appointment time so we completely missed going into the Sagrada Familia. You can imagine how disappointed and angry we are about this. Headout have been hopeless both on the day when we approached other headout guides to help us and the home office who I have emailed repeatedly. I definitely would not choose Headout as a booking company

The tour was fantastic. Our guide was incredibly knoweldgable and La Sagrada Familia was just amazing. My only negative feedback is the advised meeting point is WRONG for this tour which meant I nearly missed the tour (despite standing exactly where the dot is in the instructions for 30 mins prior to the meeting time). It is actually across the road near the "meeting point #2" pink sign. The pink "IBE" sign i was told to look for is tiny and mostly white. Please update the meeting point information for future guests as it was really stressful to get a phone call saying "where are you?.... there are 29 people waiting for you".

Mark was absolutely terrific telling us interesting details about the construction and meaning about Sagrada Familia. Answered our questions and guided us through the mass of people. However, the only negative was the instructions for meeting up. The map and photograph indicated the meeting point as across the street from Sagrada when in fact it was on the same side of the street as Sagrada by a pink sign with number 2. We arrived at exactly 2:00pm as instructed but saw no one from the tour. After waiting 15 minutes we finally crossed the street to Sagrada and happened upon Mark and the group. Almost missed the tour! We were not happy about that. indicated to meet across the street by

Our tour guide, Guadalupe, did an excellent job educating the group on the history of the Sagrada Familia. We enjoyed her commentary and wouldn't do the tour any other way. Thank you for a memorable experience.

Direction on where to meet our guide was poor. If one of our group didn't have a working cell phone we would not have met our guide. We were at the dipicted location but it wasn't correct.

We were grateful to experience Gaudi's Sagrada Familia. We really liked our tour guide, Montserrat. She was knowledgeable and warm - she made sure she knew our names and told us interesting information that will be remembered. The only issue I had was when purchasing the tickets. A discount had been applied through headout then was no longer available . When I tried to refresh the screen the time slot we wanted was not longer there. We paid a lot more for tickets for the next time slot and did not receive the 10% discount that was initially offered. We are glad we were able to go and enjoyed the experience with Crown Tours. Gracias 🙏

I booked a last minute guided tour to the sagarda familia in Barcelona. All the other sites where sold out for the whole week of my Holiday. I found 4 tickets on this site they gave me very detailed instructions as where to meet our guide and also a photo and map of the location. The tour was excellent with a very knowledgeable local tour guide from Barcelona. We didnt need to queue and went straight into the group entrance. The sagarda familia is an amazing building still under construction after 140 years that said it is mostly finished and well worth the visit the tour guide answered all of our questions and showed us all the amazing sights on offer. We even had time after the tour to go up one of the towers with great views of Barcelona. Thank you for the tour it is truly a once in a lifetime experience.

What to expect on a Sagrada Familia guided tour?

  • Once you book your guided tour of the Basilica online, you will receive a confirmation of your ticket on your phone. This e-ticket will suffice, there will be no need to print a copy - let’s keep the environment in mind! 
  • After confirmation of your ticket, you will be intimated on the meeting spot, usually at a landmark just outside the Basilica, where you can meet your guide and your group. This will be slightly earlier than the entry time on your ticket, to give you a lee-way in case of any unforeseen delays. The Basilica is strict about entry times, if you miss your allotted entry time, you will be required to purchase another ticket. Avoid this altogether and get there a little early. 
  • When you locate and familiarize yourself with your guide, they will lead you straight to the security checkpoint to enter the Basilica, at the Nativity Facade. Because you purchased your ticket online in advance, you save yourself from waiting in the ticket counter queue. 
  • Past the security checkpoint, your guide will immerse you in a historical and breathtaking journey of the Basilica. A guided tour is available in four languages - English, Spanish, French, and German. English guided tours are usually between 10 AM and 12 noon. Similarly, guided tours in other languages have their allotted time window. 

Visitor Tips

  • Tickets: Ensure you purchase your tickets online in advance to avoid long queues at the venue and to get guaranteed access to the monument. Tickets come with different inclusions and access, so ensure you pick the right ticket. 
  • Punctuality: There is usually a queue for the security check that can last between 15-30 minutes, and this is applicable to all ticket holders. Do account for this while planning your arrival at the monument, as you would be denied entry if you arrive later than your scheduled ticket time. 
  • Dress appropriately: The Basilica is a religious Catholic monument, therefore visitors are requested to dress modestly while on the premises. 
  • Accessibility: Children below 11 can enter the Basilica for free, however, due to the narrow and steep on-foot descent, children under the age of 6 are not permitted to enter the Towers. You can also get a discount if you are a student entering with valid proof. 
  • Refreshments: All backpacks are checked at the entrance, and food and drinks are not permitted inside. It is advisable to ensure you have eaten prior to your visit, as refreshments in and around the premises can be expensive. 
  • Equipment: You are allowed to snap pictures of the monument on your smartphone, however, you would require prior permission if you would like to enter with professional photography equipment.
