The process was very well organized. I had to look for the guide at the starting point, but then everything went very smoothly. There was enough time to see everything.

The Sagrada Família took my breath away. I loved how time seemed to slow down inside — the quiet awe, the soft glow of colors, the sense of peace that wrapped around me. It’s rare to find a place that inspires wonder and calm at the same time. I left feeling uplifted, amazed by what human imagination and faith can create.

The entrance to Park Güell was very straightforward and easy to reach by bus 24. A big recommendation, there are also many shady spots scattered around the park. At the Sagrada Familia, be sure to follow the instructions for the meeting point and be patient!!! Our guide only arrived 10 minutes before the tour started :)

Everything was great. 4 stars is because we didnt have audio guide inside the app for the Park Guell and we payed ticket + audio guide. We tried to chat through the app but the bot didnt recognize id ticket. The tour for Sagrada was exellent best regard to the tour guide.
