Questions, answered

Where does the tour start?

At the entrance of the Sagrada Família. Your guide will be waiting with your timed tickets, so you go in without queuing. Start and end times are agreed when you book.

Can we go up the towers?

Tower access can be added when we book your entries, subject to availability and weather. Tell us at the time of booking — tower tickets sell out earlier than basilica entries.

Is two hours too long for children?

In a private format, no — the guide adapts the storytelling to the group, and children respond strongly to the building’s animals, geometry and colours. If you prefer a shorter visit, the pace is yours to set.

Why book this instead of the basilica’s audio guide?

A licensed guide answers, connects and adapts. The audio guide describes; a two-hour monographic visit with an Official Guide of Catalonia builds the full context — Gaudí’s biography, Modernisme, structural innovation and the story of the ongoing construction — and responds to what interests you.
