Nice to see all the sites, would have liked to stop at La Pedrera instead of just drive by it. Also would be great to include the entry to La Sagrada Familia.

This was a great tour. The La Sagrada Familia was awesome. We met Gloria at the tour office and left on time. We were with another couple (so were just four of us- small group :) ). She took us to the La Sagrada and went inside right away (skipping the long line) We were left on our own for most of the time. She gave us a a quick history of the church and then we were on our own. Julia was our tour guide to Montserrat. She was excellent. The drive to Monserrat was about 45 minutes. This place was fantastic. We had a great time with this tour.. Wish we had enough time to shop though. Other than that 4 stars:)

My mother and I loved everything about our tour. Our guide, Alejandro (Alex), was charming, knowledgeable, engaging, attentive, and entertaining. The tour was the perfect way to start our Barcelona vacation. The only thing I would change is-- it would have been lovely if our guide could have joined us inside the Sagrada Familia.
Additionally, all of the staff at Explore Barcelona were welcoming and helpful. Anna, who was a guide for a different tour that day, provided us with delightful conversation as we awaited the start of our tour. More importantly, she recommended the restaurant 7 Portes as the perfect place for Paella-- she was right! Our lunch there was one of the highlights of our trip-- thank you Anna!
I will definitely book all my tours via Viator and recommend to all of my fellow travellers.
Bravo!

Fracesco was my guide and there were only the 2 of us. During the drive to Montserrat, he gave me lots of the ancient and current history of Barcelona and Catalunya. The approach to Montserrat was breathtaking and I now see why one really needs a full day to truly enjoy and appreciate it. The weather was a bit too cold and windy for me to do the walks or enjoy the tram to the top plus there wasn't enough time. We went down the opposite side of Montserrat and stopped at a charming little church from the 1400's. As we approached Barcelona and La Sagrada Familia he gave me more history and made sure I knew where to go to enter,etc. Like another reviewer, I was confused that we went to Montserrat first, then to La Sagrada, without any explanation. I found my way back to my hotel, which ironically is just a few blocks from the Explore Catalunya office.

Really good tour. Saw a lot of Barcelona, got a good feel for the city, and got into Sagrada Familia without queuing. We also saw a number of other Gaudi buildings and spaces. Our guide, Veronica, was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. it was a nice small group in a small bus. A fantastic day!

The Sagrada Familia is an unbelievable place. My tour guide was very accommodating. However, I signed up for an all English tour and as the tour began the tour guide told us he was going to explain it in English as well as Spanish.This was very annoying since it was a nasty day and we had to wait outside while the tour guide explained everything in two languages. By the end of the tour most people had left because it was ridiculous to stand outside and freeze while we could have enjoyed the experience by just hearing it in one language.

The tour guides were very nice and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the first part of the tour but I wished we were able to go into la familia sagrada during the 2nd half of the tour.

Though Montserrat and Sagrada Familia were EPIC and our Guide was EXCELLENT (Lydia) the/this "tour" option was the wrong one for us...Had we done it on our own, we would we have been on a schedule that allowed us enough time to actually do the "extra" things that we really wanted to (besides the Monastery) while at Montserrat, like see/hear the Choir and walk to the "secondary" cathedral or down to the caves, even riding the funicular would have been tight, so we missed that too...Example: The Choir was performing at 1pm (something we would have GLADLY made time for) but the bus back to Barcelona left at 12:30, LAME!!! A few more hours at Montserrat really were necessary for us, something we didn't realize until arrival...Also, not a lot of "tour" benefit to be had at Sagrada Familia in this case, as, after an overview from the outside, there was no "group" or "guide" function to be had, we just received tickets and audio-guides and were on our own, something that could EASILY be booked separately, without need to tie it into Montserrat, creating unnecessary scheduling and time constraints..."Skip-the-Line" tickets for Sagrada can also be bought on-line and, as we now understand, locally at some participating bank ATM's, so being a part of a tour-group isn't actually necessary to gain that positive, which IS pretty big...The "plusses" of this tour was the commentary and interaction with the Guide (5-stars for her) while in transit and in the Monastery and outside of Sagrada Familia and also by way of saving maybe an hour of total transit time vs. taking the train and cable car to and from Barcelona...The sights were great, just think the itinerary was either unnecessary or prohibitive.

This tour is a must for all first time Barcelona visitors. It was very comprehensive, detailed and enjoyable. Our guide Fabian was great, his knowledge of Barcelona's history is impressive. He was super friendly and approachable and we felt comfortable with him and his english was excellent. I would recommend the full day tour which took us to places like Parc Guell, Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, Jewish quarters, Barri Gotic, MontJuic, Passeig De Gracia and much more. Please note the full day tour ends at La Pedrera so you have to make your way home from there. Overall we learnt a great deal of Catalunya's history from an amazing guide.

This was a good tour for the money . The really nice part was that we got to go into the Sagrada church. I would recommend this 1/2 day tour and our guide was very knowledgable.

Enjoyed the trip to Montserrat very much except that the visibility could have been better and this is hardly the fault of the tour operator. It was a foggy, rainy day! We saw the Black Madonna (very fortunate not to have to queue!), visited the museum and went up on the Funicular railway. The tour guide was very informative.
On our return to Barcelona we did the Skip-the-line visit to La Sagrada Familia and this was just amazing! My only criticism is that we were supposed to be visiting the church first in the morning and we were expecting to be dropped off at the tour operator's office on our return from Monserrat. We did it the other way round and were expected to find our own way back from the church. Considering I changed my date to fit in with the tour operator I was very disappointed!

If you go to Barcelona you can't miss the Sagrada Familia. I had seen it before from the outside so this time I decided to go on a guided tour - well worth it! The tour guide was knowledgable and gave us lots of interesting details about the construction of the church and Gaudi's ideas. We were a very small group so we got to visit the museum with the guide as well. At the end of the tour you have the option to stay for longer if you like, so that you can go up the tower, visit the Gaudi school or revisit the inside.

We really enjoyed it, we appreciated that they allowed us to stay at that place to have lunch and the bus picked us up for the next half part of the tour: the art portion. This full day tour is really composed of 2 half day tours. We didn't get to go inside La Sagrada Familia

This was a great introduction to Barcelona. We saw the main attractions and that helped us decide which ones we wanted to go back to. Be aware that it didn't include going inside of Familia Sagrada .. we got to see the exterior. Gaudi architecture was fascinating ... but again, only exterior seen.
