A must-see attraction in Barcelona, and well worth it. Purchasing tickets in advance saves you time from queuing and ensures you won't encounter a sold-out situation.

The tour guide was excellent, explaining the structure of the Sagrada Familia, sharing stories, and pointing out the meaning of the changing light and shadows inside. I highly recommend taking this tour. The English was also very easy to understand.

I was really looking forward to the Gaudí tour, and I had a great time with Jelly, our guide! She was super friendly and fun, and so well-prepared. She explained everything to us without taking a break, and shared restaurant and cafe recommendations, leaving nothing out. I was so touched I could cry... Even after the tour ended, she continued to answer questions from other travelers in the group chat with such care. It must have been tough with the rain, but thank you so much for taking such good care of us! Jelly is the best, the very best! 👍👍👍

The Sagrada Familia is full of surprises, it's a bible in itself. A must-see in this lifetime, it's definitely one of the best churches I've ever seen. Although it's not finished yet, I'll never forget how moved I was after visiting!

First of all, I loved how kind our guide, Jelly, was. She answered our questions well, and the Gaudi human theater was fun. I think you absolutely have to see Gaudi's architecture when you're in Spain, and I don't regret it at all! It feels like I made a great choice. Jelly also took our pictures, and the best part is that we got to enter Casa Mila early. It's so much easier to look around comfortably and take a ton of photos when there aren't many people. I wanted to add more photos, but they're over 3 megabytes, so I'm only uploading a few. You need to buy a ticket to enter the Sagrada Familia, and it's perfect because the tour ends nearby, so you can just go right in. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Spain!!

Our guide was incredibly kind and witty! I'm not religious, nor do I know much about architecture, so I wasn't sure if I'd find the Gaudí story interesting. But after hearing the explanation, it was so fun that I even shared the stories with my family. The guide was also very detailed and helpful in recommending restaurants and souvenir spots. I was extremely satisfied, especially with the recommendation for a Chinese restaurant when I asked personally at the end ㅠㅠ. I definitely want to come back and hear the explanation again once the Sagrada Familia is completed!

Our family of three participated in the Gaudi tour. We were happy to have Jelly, who also guided us on the Montserrat and Sitges tour the day before, as our tour guide again. The tour consisted of Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, Park Güell, and Sagrada Familia, which was a very fulfilling itinerary in a limited time. It might seem a bit early in the morning, but it was a big advantage to move ahead of other tourists and have a more relaxed viewing experience. Guide Jelly showed us pictures of buildings and people, providing fun and pleasant explanations without any dull moments. Also, at Casa Batlló, which we entered during a less crowded time, she enthusiastically and beautifully took group photos for each group, so our family of three was able to get some great pictures. At Park Güell, she pointed out photo spots one by one, so our family, who usually struggles with taking photos, was able to wander around and have a great time during our free time, thanks to Jelly. At the final stop, Sagrada Familia, it started to rain a little, but we were grateful that she passionately explained everything even while getting rained on. Oh, and as a self-proclaimed "쩝쩝 박사" (a foodie expert), the restaurant she recommended after the tour was really delicious. It was an Italian place selling lasagna, and when we got there, some familiar faces who had participated in the tour were already waiting. The wait was getting long, so I asked a solo traveler if they wanted to join us, and we ate together, having a great time with someone we met on the tour. We're planning to trust her recommendations and try other restaurants she suggested during the rest of our trip. Thanks to the tour and Jelly, we had a great time.
