Very cool experience

Rachel_D, Apr 2024

Sagrada Familia is a must-see in Barcelona (my teens said it was their favorite part of the whole city!), and having a knowledgeable guide like Marc definitely enhanced our experience. The tower visit was a good addition as it let us see some of the outside details up close.

Great history lesson!

Lori_R, Apr 2024

So informative - it made the visit that much more meaningful than just seeing it. Great history lesson.

Disappointing..

Martha_H, Apr 2024

We loved the incredible church. Our tour guide was very kind but it was an English tour and she was very hard to understand . It doesn’t seem appropriate to pay extra for small group and an English tour when we couldn’t understand most of it.

Amazing history and beautiful church!

Eileen_M, Apr 2024

Great tour and guide! Marc was knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about La Segrada Familia. Marc pointed out the various facades and the design differences and changes throughout. I recommend taking the 4 pm tour for a colorful surprise!

Great job by guide

gary_b, Mar 2024

Very crowded but good experience overall. Liked the site but too many people in it made it difficult to hear everything the guide said.

Good but Consider All Guests

Marla_G, Mar 2024

Overall, great tour and guide but too accommodating to two guests who missed their earlier tour. As a result, it felt like our tour was a bit rushed.

Great tour

Holly_F, Jan 2024

Marc was a great guide, very informative! We were also able to buy tower access tickets at the end of the tour.

Fabulous!!

H_C, Nov 2023

Highly knowledgeable guide! Great information about the wonderful church and looked after the group very well. Would highly recommend!!

Great tour but would have been nice to see one of the towers as paid for with our ticket !

Lorraine_C, Nov 2023

The travel guide was great but we waited for people who arrived late We were supposed to be able to view one of the towers and it was not available We would expect a partial refund please

Tadeu_S, Nov 2023

Carlos our tour guide was amazing explaining everything and fun. Made sure we knew all the cool details and tricks for good pictures

Must see!

Lori_K, Oct 2023

A must see when visiting Barcelona. The best way is with a tour guide and skip the line. Our guide was very knowledgeable!

Fantastic tour! A must!

Robert_B, Oct 2023

Our guide Miguel was wonderful! His personality and his way to tell a story about the cathedral is great. The meeting site was easy to find. It was very smooth entry into La Sagrada Familia. No waiting in long lines. The headsets were essential to hear our guide. We appreciated and learned a lot about La Sagrada Familia. Beautiful church. My daughter and I did the tower tour while my mom stayed in the main cathedral and shop. You do need to be able to do a lot of steps. But if you can, it is worth it. Definitely want to return again and maybe go to Mass there. I would definitely recommend taking this tour.

Viator is a scam

Cim_K, Oct 2023

Viator is a scam! Arriving at the site, there was no place to exchange the “coupons “ for tickets. Such a disappointment for us. And a waste of money. Don’t use this scamming “service”!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hi Cim_K, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. We want to assure you that both Viator and City Wonders are reputable services, and we take such feedback seriously. The meeting point specified on your voucher is where our tours commence, and we regret any confusion at the site. To further investigate this matter and address your concerns, could you please provide us with your booking reference number? You can reach out to us at info@citywonders.com. We value your feedback and aim to ensure a seamless experience for all our customers. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Warm regards, Edgar J. City Wonders

Our tour guide Robert...

Dana_V, Oct 2023

Our tour guide Robert provides detailed and extensive information regarding Sagrada Familia, because of him and this tour, I appreciate Sagrada more and more. Will definitely recommend to my friends. Thanks Robert! 😊

An okay tour which shoukd have been so much better considering where we were

smithanjj, Oct 2023

The tour went for less than 1 hour and we feel for the price it was not long enough. The outside of the Sagrada Familia was explained more in-depth than the inside. The inside had so much detail and wow factor but not a great deal was explained. We have been on many guided tours and this tour left us disappointed.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hello smithanjj, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your Sagrada Familia tour experience. We appreciate your feedback, and we're thrilled to hear that you found the outside of the monument in-depth. We apologize if the interior explanation didn't meet your expectations, and we understand the importance of providing comprehensive insights. Your input will be valuable in our ongoing guide training efforts to enhance the overall tour experience. Thank you for choosing City Wonders, and we hope to have the pleasure of exploring with you again. Warm regards, Edgar J. City Wonders

Great

Colleen_M, Oct 2023

Isabel was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and passionate about La Sagrada Familia. We really enjoyed the tour.

Going inside the Sagrada...

Ronit_B, Oct 2023

Going inside the Sagrada Familia and seeing it’s wonder and learning many interesting details from the guide.

Amazing experience

Christopher_T, Oct 2023

If you are in Barcelona, this is definitely something you should see up close as well as inside the church. Marc was our tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable regarding the history and architecture of this magnificent building. This is something that I will never forget!!!

Amazing access to a modern basilica deaign

Kelly_B, Oct 2023

The tour left on time from the designated meeting point that was east to find. Miguel was very insightful. I highly recommend this tour as a way to skip the massive lines. We spent ~20 minutes in the basilica before the people climbing the tour departed with the tour guide. That was adequate time in the basilica . Note that access to the crypt where Gaudi is entombed is only available at 7 pm during evening services.

Breathtaking!

Sean_T, Oct 2023

Margarita was a terrific guide and made getting through a popular destination much easier. The Sagrada Família is worth the price of admission and so much more. It is amazing and any pictures do not do it justice. The tour was full of wonderful information.
