Good to know
- We cannot predict when La Sagrada Familia will be crowded. In general, long lines are common at major attractions in summer, on most weekends, and during peak travel periods throughout the year (Christmas, Easter, local holidays). The skip-the-line ticket enables you to skip the line if indeed there is one. Unfortunately there is no way to foresee the days and times that produce lines
- All visitors must pass through metal detectors at the security check point, so please expect to wait 20-30 minutes to clear security

Traveler reviews
Excellent guided tour
Pilar was a great guide- informative, warm and very accommodating. Would highly recommend. Thank you
The Sagrada Família...
The Sagrada Família church is beautiful but this tour left a lot to be desired. Too many people crowded and the tour guide was very nice but spoke too much and struggled with keeping all participants engaged. Beware the steps coming down are not for those who fear heights. Very narrow steps on the way down. Julia Travel was not a company I would recommend. The service in their office was poor to say the least and staff were rude and not friendly. Julia Travel cancelled multiple tours and left tourists from out of the country without options and showed no empathy or concern. Even when the staff agreed that they felt it was wrong to cancel, they left no options to help the travelers. Additionally, one male gentleman was so rude. I do not recommend this tour. Book directly with Sagrada Família and avoid Julia Travel. They seem to be the worst agency in town.
No tower access
We booked a tower access visit to Sagrada Família and when it was time to checking at Julía Travel, they told us that “due to a technical issue in the system “ this portion was not available. This was not communicated ahead of time. This was going to be the highlight of our Barcelona trip so it was extremely disappointing.
Sagrada Família
Expect a lot of great and interesting detail on Sagrada Família, Gaudi, and how Barcelona was in the late 19th and early 20th century. Highly recommend! Emilio our tour guide was very passionate about Gaudi and inspired us to see other Gaudi works in the city. We saw the towers and you have to be prepared to walk up and mostly down steps in narrow spaces.
First time going to...
