Madrid & Andalusia with Cordoba & Costa del Sol & Toledo 9 Days

We booked tickets for Sagrada Familia and the towers with a guide. Our guide, Victor, was excellent- the pace was just right and he explained everything making the visit so much more informative and interesting for us. Would definitely recommend.

A very enjoyable tour around Park Guell yesterday under the guidance of Raul in excellent English. Great audio system so we could hear Raul no matter how far away we were. Not at all rushed. Very informative and amusing with humorous personal anecdotes.

Did the half day trip from Barcelona to Girona with Julia Tours (left at 8am and back around 2:20pm). Bus was comfy and air conditioned. Left on time. Our tour guide was friendly and showed us around and we had a good amount of free time. Plus if you’re a GOT fan, you’ll get to see some spots from the show.

Our tour of Sagrada Familia was amazing! Olga was our guide and she was absolutely incredible!! She was extremely knowledgeable about the site and was so pleasant to listen to discuss all the details and history. Love learning about the ins and outs and the story behind every detail.

This was the only place I could find last-minute tickets to see Sagrada Familia. It was more expensive than the tickets directly from the basilica (which were sold out), but it included a guided tour. I opted to add the tower access in as well, which is about €15 more than just the guided tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. They have to deal with a lot of other people in the area, and to still be able to communicate effectively is impressive. I can't remember the guides name, but she had blue hair, so definitely easy to keep track of in the crowd of thousands inside the basilica. I didn't deal with any disrespect or lack of professionalism, as other reviews have mentioned. Everyone I interacted with was very kind and took time to explain things. FYI, if you're afraid of heights or claustrophobic, the tower is not for the faint of heart!

My wife and I toured Park Guell and Sagrada Familia with tour guides Matthew (Park Guell) and Marc (Sagrada Familia) on November 25th 2024. We showed up about twenty minutes late to our tour of Park Guell because our taxi driver dropped us off at the wrong location. Despite this, Matthew was very understanding and accommodating to both us and others on our tour with other specific or individual needs, ensuring to either wait at a location a little longer or offer an alternative path for those who needed a bit more assistance maneuvering within the park. When arriving at the Julia Travel location after our tour, he provided nearby restaurant recommendations and tips for avoiding potential pickpocket attempts in the crowded city center. Matthew’s Barcelona experience is second to none! Marc provided an amazing tour of the incredible Sagrada Familia. His passion, thoroughness, and efficiency in conducting the tour were very impressive. Despite the heavy crowds, he did a great job directing our tour group through Sagrada Familia in an organized manner while also pointing out specific details about the church that we wouldn’t have otherwise noted. Julia Travel provided two great tours through significant locations within Barcelona. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn more about these locations!

Had a great time touring Sagrada Familia. Beautiful and organized tour.

Una is absolutely the best tour guide ever! Knowledgeable. Energetic. And a delight to be around her. She kept everyone engaged and we all walked away with much more than La Sagrada Familia knowledge. We learned architecture, Gaudi history, and she pointed out things most would miss. Thank you, Una!

We took the 30 person catamaran, and had a fantastic time. They stop the boat after about an hour and let the guests swim for half an hour, which is refreshing. There are no pool toys, as advertised, however. Remember to grab a life jacket to swim in the ocean. The boat needs more life jackets available on deck.

Our tour guide Maria was with Julia Tours. It was easy to see she was a regular guide as many of the others knew her as well as the staff of the Basilica. She seemed to love the space as it was “beautiful” to her (told us 18xs). BUT our tour was very poor. It was suppose to be 1.5 hours, scheduled to start at 5. We didn’t start till 5:16 and were done at 6:10. She made all kinds of recommendations of what we could go see AFTER the tour AND didn’t really provide much detail. I suggest you go to the audio tour… has to be better then what we experienced today. Felt like we had a guide who was doing her last tour of the day and just wanted to go home to her air conditioning. This tour company felt like the McDonalds down the road. Fast and efficient but no real nutrients to feed your soul.
