Good tour
Soledad_M, Apr 2024
It was a good tour. Lots of walking but it's good. Tour guide is nice and accommodating. Will recommend this tour to friends.
Do it, to do it, so you can say you did it :)
Crystal_D, Mar 2024
This genuinely felt like the cliche tour you do in Barcelona because...it's a famous landmark(s). We spent 20+ days in Europe and this was probably the least memorable but from my privileged position I can say I appreciate that I was able to do see/experience it. The tour of the Basilica was a bit boring, I was largely preoccupied with being pick pocketed from the outer crowded area, paranoid that I wasn't covered enough so as to piss off the Catholic church, and HOT (it was a roasting July day).
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Dear Crystal_D, Thank you for taking the time to write this review, It saddens me to learn that The Best of Gaudí tour didn't live up to your expectations, Please bear in mind that The Basilica is one of the most visited monuments in spain, it is usually crowded, Best regards,
Beautiful tour
Diane_B, Feb 2024
If you visit, Barcelona, you absolutely must go see the Sagrada Familia. Absolutely stunning! Park Guell was not quite what we expected but still an interesting visit.
Gaudi Sagrada and Park Guell.
donna_w, Oct 2023
The Sagrada is amazing! Tour guide loves what he does. Gaudi garden Park Guell beautifully designed. A little bit more walking than we anticipated as the bus couldn't enter certain parts of town. Optional Batlo visit shows Gaudis interior design best, though it would be useful if cost for it was made explicit upfront so choice can clearly be made ahead of time. It went a lot longer than advertised take some water and a snack.
Pretty okay
Sky_W, Oct 2023
We purchased tickets that gave us access to everything. The Sagrada Familia was great it's a must see. Our first guide was great very informative, funny, and answered everyone's questions. We were disappointed we didn't get more time to explore on our own as we had 15 minutes before we moved on. Then on to a new tour guide, the audio quality was horrible and we could hardly hear him for the rest of our tour.Then ended up having to walk several blocks until we reached the bus. Which was really misleading considering it stated we'd have transport to places. The park was nice but once again we were rushed through everything which was disappointing. When we reached the final destination, they pretty much were closing. Only three of us had tickets to the final house. We also had to rush through that where our guide had to leave 15 min in. We had lost so much time walking to find the tour bus and walking between places because of other guests we got robbed of our last location. It was still amazing to see but this definitely wasn't the best tour.

Dear Sky_W Thank you for taking the time to write this review and your nice comments about our guides, I am glad that you were mostly satisfied with the Best of Guadí's tour. Please note that according to authorities traffic restrictions, in the area of Sagrada Familia it is not allowed for buses to drop off visitants, Sincerely,
Awful. Very disappointing. Not as advertised. Should not be a Viator offer.
Robert_W, Oct 2023
Only memories are bad ones. This tour was not at all as advertised. Supposed to be a skip-the-line but we still had to wait in line to enter. Was a combination of English and Spanish speaking guests so every narrative was given in 2 languages. Certainly slowed down our progress, delayed the pace and took much longer for the tour. But the absolute worst was the one mile walk to our bus to take us to part 2 of the excursion - Guell Park. We were forced to hike 1 mile1 This was certainly never mentioned in the write-up. Terrible experience.

Dear Robert_W Thank you for taking the time to write this review, It saddens me to learn that the Best of Gaudí tour didn't live up to your expectations, Kindly take note the tickets for Sagrada Familia and Park Güell guided tour are purchased in advance. Special conditions for group entrance indicate that every official guide must be accredited to enter, please bear in mind these proceedings can not be skipped or rushed. Please note that the description of the tour shared with all agencies include the two meeting points from where the visits will depart as well as the tour being bilingual. Sincerely,

Julie_L, Oct 2023
Tour was a little disorganized, but hard not to be at such busy attractions. Make sure you know what you paid for on this tour… there are different tiers which was confusing. Book to have the bus take you back down or you might have to walk or cab back closer to your hotel. Sagrada Familia was definitely the best of the 4 attractions (SF, Park Guell, and the 2 Casas) in my opinion.
Magical
Susan_G, Sep 2023
Standing in Sagrad Familia with the sun shining through the stained glass was like standing in a rainbow!!
Would not book again
Bradly_N, Sep 2023
Every thing was memorable. We booked an English tour and although our guide was an awesome person his English was broken and he spoke very fast so not easy to understand. Not his fault and he went the extra mile. Very long walk between Sagrada and catching the bus. Older people had a tough time. Would have been nice to provide water on the bus after the long walk. Again our guide tried very hard to be understood but not easy for older people with hearing aids to understand
Barcelona highlight
Rozanne_W, Sep 2023
Güell Park and its backstory were very interesting. The Sagrada Familia was astounding from the outside and breathtaking from the interior. One cannot appreciate Barcelona properly without this experience!
Good guides but too much...
Danielle_Q, Aug 2023
Good guides but too much walking to get bus after Sagrada Familia. Did not understand why bus couldn’t pick us up closer to basilica..
Super E-Bike tour!! Highly Recommend!!
monique_p, Jun 2023
Our Guide was so knowledgeable! Really fun way to see the city! The e-bikes were perfect! Thé Gaudi Highlights were beautiful and so interesting ! We learned a lot about a Barcelona!
Great Guides. Huge Group.
Natalie_J, Jun 2023
Great tour guides and super valuable/interesting information about the landmarks we toured. Our group was double the size promised in the tour description though. We had 28 people in the group when there was only supposed to be a max of 12. That was a bit disappointing.
Two thirds of this tour highly recommended!
Bob_B, Jun 2023
We actually found the tour a bit long for our liking, though students of Gaudi would love it all. The Sagrada Familia was great and we really enjoyed the visit to and explanation of the apartment building that Gaudi designed or influenced, but we found the visit to Parc Guell not worth the time. But that's just us. And the guide was wonderful - we discovered at the end of the tour that she was an architect, which no doubt added to the value of her commentary. Casual tourists might wish to visit just the Sagrada Familia, which is a must for anyone visiting Barcelona.
Great experience!
Mary_N, Jun 2023
Excellent trip. Guides very instructive. Have already recommended using your service to a few other people we have met.
Not what we expected
AnneLouise_p, May 2023
I misunderstood this experience as what I thought we were seeing and what we did were not the same. That being said I picked the English version and instead got a bilingual English/Spanish which was annoying as we waisted a lot of time hearing both. Also we had to walk quite aways to get on the tour bus which was nasty as it downpoured and lost members in the group
Two good experiences
Charles_W, Apr 2023
We had two tour guides, one for Sagrada Familia & one for Park Guell. Our first guide was wonderful. She explained things with passion, humor & detail. Our guide at Park Guell was very knowledgeable but the audio was very loud.
Don’t spend the money!
Christine_F, Apr 2023
Sagrada tour was good however until I asked, there was no mention of the beautiful gift store. I had 4 min to run there before our bus was leaving to park guell …very disappointing. Then, we had a very brisk walk for at least 6 blocks to get on the coach with no time to even stop for water. No time to use rest room and schedule was just too tight. This was an expensive tour and not worth the experience. Our guide for the park was hard to understand and quiet….tour there was lack luster. Heard from friends we could have entered the buildings with no mention from our guide.
Martha, our guide, was...
Sergio_B, Dec 2022
Martha, our guide, was fantastic very knowledgeable, informative, patient with both of us my wife and myself. I wish all guides were like her. She explained in details the history of Park Guell and made our visit to Barcelona unforgettable. Thanks!
Don't waste time and money
StewartTodd_B, Nov 2022
This is the worst tour we have ever been on. It was supposed to be a small group tour and we were herded with at least 30 others. The tour was supposed to be in English and every other sentence was spoken in Spanish. The constant switch back and forth between languages made it very difficult to follow and understand what was being said. After the Sagrada Familia, we were to take a bus to Park Gaudi. We had to walk for 30 minutes to get to the park. We were told we would have free time to explore on our own but once you left the main area, you were not allowed to go back in. This was never explained to us before the tour started.
