Useful Information
Skip the Line: Best of Barcelona Tour including Sagrada Familia
On your way to the Sagrada Famlia, you’ll go through Passeig de Gracia, home to designer stores and two of Barcelona’s most renowned Antonio Gaudí buildings – La Pedrera and Casa Batlló. You’ll also stop at the Hospital de Sant Pau, one of the greatest symbols of the modernist architecture in Barcelona and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Skip the line at La Sagrada Familia and avoid the very long queues. Your guide will give you a comprehensive tour of the exterior before taking you straight past the long lines and into the magnificent interior of this famous structure, where you will have some free time to explore on your own.
You’ll then head to the oldest part of Barcelona, the Gothic Quarter, where you’ll leave the bus and enjoy a stroll through the narrow streets of medieval Barcelona. From there, travel back to the early Middle Ages, visiting the Jewish Quarter, the Royal Palace, the original 2,000-year-old Roman temple and part of the Cathedral.
Continue to the Born district, where you’ll have free time for a quick lunch before heading to the magnificent Santa Maria del Mar church, one of the most beautiful in Barcelona, where your tour ends at approximately 1pm.
Do you want to visit Park Güell and La Pedrera?
Upgrade to the full-day tour of Barcelona, and you'll continue to Park Güell. Enjoy a guided tour of the famous city garden, where you’ll be introduced to some of Gaudí’s most bizarre creations. Finally, you’ll visit one of Gaudí’s most famous buildings, La Pedrera (1-hour). You will skip the line again, and have an hour to visit interior of the building. Your tour will then end at approximately 4.30pm.

It was a trip of a lfetime for the entire family but the toilet facilities around Sagrada Familia were also rather limited and not well sign posted. Every church I know has plenty toilets inside and outside but this bit of detail appears to have escaped the great Ghaudi and all the other architects on that site. In fact should you spend any amount of time in the queue outside, you will have huge issues.
Also due to the amount nof walking on the entire tour we could not finish the last part of the trip around the Catedral de Barcelona, the kids were also just too tired. I hope by the time they complete construction of Sagrada Familia in 2026-28 the entire district around it would have been reconstructed allowing for a tourist bus parking area adjacent to the facility. Tourist buses are a reality around the facility, to expect them to park a KM away is unreasonable, what if you have disabled people and small children like we had?

Fabian was our tour guide and he did a good job. It was great not to have to wait in line for the Sagrada Familia. We covered a lot. Well worth it. The tour office was a bit hard to find. So give yourself extra time to find the check in as it is not well marked.
