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.

What to expect on a private tour of Sagrada Familia

  • Meet your expert guide at the entrance: Begin your journey at the designated meeting point in front of the Sagrada Familia. Your expert guide (usually a licensed architect or historian) welcomes you and outlines the tour’s personalized itinerary while ensuring a swift check-in process with skip-the-line benefits.
  • Explore architectural masterpieces at your own pace: Your guide directs you to critical features such as the Nativity and Passion facades. Each area is explored with thorough explanations of style, symbolism, and historical context, transforming the basilica into a living history lesson.
  • Customized route through the Sagrada Familia: Your guide crafts a route based on your interests, whether that means focusing on Gaudí’s unique techniques or exploring hidden details rarely highlighted in group tours. Expect stories behind each element and unique insights.
  • Flexible scheduling and special requests: Need extra time at a particular section or want to skim over an exhibit? Private tours offer flexible scheduling and customization options, ensuring that every moment aligns with your personal interests.

Meet your expert guide

Not just anyone can lead a private Sagrada Familia tour. Your guide is a licensed architect or historian, often with advanced degrees in architectural studies or cultural heritage, and years of experience bringing Gaudí’s vision to life. They know the basilica inside out, from hidden passageways to the best crowd-free timings, and subtle details that make the architecture unforgettable.

Expect more than facts. A private guide becomes a storyteller, curator, and conversation partner, ready to adapt the pace, depth, and focus of the tour to your interests. With them, the Sagrada Familia feels less like a tourist site and more like a place of personal discovery.
