Sagrada on a challenging day
Spectacular Tour. Very challenging day with a local Demonstration keeping the inside closed for a while. We weren’t sure we would get in at all. The company offered full refunds to anyone wanting to rebook. We chose to stay on and were rewarded when the rains came and the demonstrators left and the inside opened. Great guide “Tony”. Highly recommend this company as they were great under pressure that they had no control of
