“Sagrada Familia Tour”
Very well organised. The guide, Yannis, was knowledgeable and could pass the knowledge in a very interesting and funny way, so that I am able to tell the story to my friends who wasn't there (which is not often after a guided tours). I definitely recommend that tour.

“Very good tour”
Dominika introduced us shortly to Gaudi's life and history and explained the meaning of a lot of sculptures and scenes depicted on the exterior of the Basilica, and all this during a walk around the building and seeing it from different angles.
Would totally recommend.
La Basilica de Sagrada Familia definitely deserves a proper experiencing, and this tour combined with entering the Basilica and seeing its interior will bring it to the next level. :)

“Walk around Sagrada ”
The guide was excellent - very friendly / knowledgeable and entertaining . He had obviously studied the subject in detail but was able to pinpoint many points of of interest which we would certainly have missed if we had been on our own . I had taken many of these free guides before in various countries and he was one of the best . Highly recommended.

“An awesome tour with Onno!”
Onno is the best guide we’ve had yet on our vacation to Barcelona! He is friendly, educated, witty, interesting, and an overall outstanding guide! We learnt a lot on his tour, and we had an awesome connexion! He even took pictures of us which were absolutely beautiful! An incredibly dedicated guide! Will select his tours if we’re in Barcelona again! - Sarah and Lalaina who got a private tour (because the other person didn’t show up. Don’t book and not show up, people!)

We decided to book this tour because we couldn't get tickets to go inside Sagrada Familia during our stay in Barcelona. Onno's tour far exceeded our expectations! So much information, explained in a very clear way and not too long. Thanks! Highly recommended.
Andres Alvarez (English)
2021-06-01 09:54:19
“Excellent tour!”
I had a wonderful experience with Onno! He is an excellent tour guide and I can't recommend him highly enough. I couldn't get tickets for the Sagrada Familia as they are only sold at the weekend now (and cost 26 euro!), but I have no regrets as I feel like I still got to experience it in a more meangingful way, rather that just going myself and looking at it. Don't miss the opportunity to learn about this amazing piece of architecture, especially with Onno!
Claire Howley (English)
2021-05-25 07:56:19
“Amazing Tour!”
This tour was amazing! I feel like I got hours worth of information in only 1 whirlwind hour. Explanations of the technical and architectural innovations, stories of Gaudi's personal life and the meaning of the many statues and towers of Sagrada. Thanks!

Great tour! I booked this tour because i wanted more than just to see sagrada familia. Really interesting information to get a good understanding of the what and why of gaudi's motivations and design.
Highly recommended!
