Over 90 minutes your guide reveals the stories, symbolism and innovative design behind the basilica. It’s an ideal choice for travellers who want more than an entrance ticket, but don’t need a longer Barcelona sightseeing tour.

Meet your expert guide near Sagrada Família and enter Antoni Gaudí’s masterpiece through the Nativity Façade, the only façade he completed during his lifetime. Compare the richly detailed Nativity Façade with the dramatically different Passion and Glory façades, and discover how Gaudí’s vision has evolved since construction first began in 1882.
Inside walk beneath soaring tree-like columns designed to create the feeling of a stone forest. Discover how nature, religion and Catalan identity influenced Gaudí’s revolutionary architecture, and see how sunlight streaming through the spectacular stained-glass windows transforms the interior with colour.
Along the way, your guide explains the story of Sagrada Família’s continuing construction, how Gaudí’s original plans have been interpreted since his death, and the debates surrounding the completion of one of the world’s most extraordinary buildings. -
