Itinerary and highlights
Our guide will guide you inside the Sagrada Familia and will also give you some free time to wonder at your own pace.
Your walking tour finishes in front of the stunning medieval church of Santa Maria del Mar, one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture you'll ever find.
After your walking tour, you will be driven up to Montjüic, the site of the 1992 Olympic Games. You will stop for magnificent views of the city and an introduction to the city from your guide.
This is the highlight for many people. Your guide will begin outside of the church with some history of Gaudí's finest work. You will then be able to use your skip-the-line entry tickets to go inside the church with your guide for a guide visit.
For those of you on the full day tour, after lunch you will be taken to the iconic Park Güell gardens, designed by Gaudí. You'll get skip-the-line tickets here, and then enjoy a walking tour with your guide, who will explain all about the design and history.
Your tour will finish at the famous Gaudí designed masterpiece of La Pedrera. Your guide will take you inside with your skip-the-line entrance tickets, explain the history, and then leave you to enjoy the visit at your own pace.
