Useful Information
La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona
Barcelona Sightseeing Tour (Morning):
Stroll through Plaza de Catalunya, with its many fountains and statues, then take a wander along the narrow medieval streets of the Gothic Quarter. You will see many buildings dating from the 15th century, including the Barcelona Cathedral, as you continue to Plaza Sant Jaume where the important government buildings are located, including the Palace of Generalitat and the Town Hall.
Continue to the Montjuic Mountain for a panoramic view of the city and harbor. Tour the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, the Palau Sant Jordi and the Calatrava Tower, and taste Catalan Cava, the renowned local sparkling wine, at the Poble Espanyol (Spanish Village).
Next, get on a cable-car (included) and take in aerial views of the Barcelona skyline, on the ride down to Montjuic Castle.
Artistic Barcelona Tour (Afternoon):
After lunch (own expense), take an artistic journey through Barcelona, starting at Paseo de Gracia to see Gaudi's famous apartment buildings including Casa Batllo and La Pedrera. Then enjoy a 30-minute visit at Gaudi's bizarre Park Guell, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The afternoon tour continues to the La Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) Cathedral, Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece and Barcelona's most famous landmark.
You'll also visit Barcelona's Monumental Bull Ring and the famous Cathedral Sta Maria del Mar, the only completed Gothic church in Catalonia. The tour ends near the Picasso Museum, which exhibits works from the blue and pink periods of the world-famous painter.
Note: the tour does not include entrance tickets. This is an exterior visit only.

It was an excellent one day overview of what should not be missed in Barcelona. It was actually two tours. The morning tour handled the Gothic quarter, walking the area, seeing the Roman ruins, churches, etc., then the more modern areas including the cable car to the mountain top and the Spanish Village. Not a lot of free time, but if you are only there for one day, enough for souvenirs. Then a two hour break for lunch on your own. After that, the second tour which was mostly Gaudi's works. The total tour gave us an excellent overview and some ideas on where we wanted to go the next day for individual exploring. The tour was done in multiple languages both times, but the guides seemed to treat all with an equal hand. The busses were clean, and checking in for the tour was easy. Overall, if you have never been in Barcelona, I would recommend this tour.
