We were grateful to experience Gaudi's Sagrada Familia. We really liked our tour guide, Montserrat. She was knowledgeable and warm - she made sure she knew our names and told us interesting information that will be remembered. The only issue I had was when purchasing the tickets. A discount had been applied through headout then was no longer available . When I tried to refresh the screen the time slot we wanted was not longer there. We paid a lot more for tickets for the next time slot and did not receive the 10% discount that was initially offered. We are glad we were able to go and enjoyed the experience with Crown Tours. Gracias 🙏

Your experience

Into the heart of Gaudí's creation

Limited to just 15 participants, this semi-private guided journey ensures an intimate encounter with Gaudí's masterpiece. With skip-the-line access, go past the queue and your eyes will likely be drawn to the towering columns that seem to reach towards the heavens. These columns, designed to resemble the trunks of ancient trees, create a mesmerizing forest-like atmosphere within the basilica. Throughout your journey, let the expert Catalan guide enlighten you with the history, architectural insights, and fascinating anecdotes.

Pay homage to the artist

Take a moment to stand before the facades that adorn the exterior, each one a masterpiece in its own right, depicting scenes from the Bible with breathtaking detail and symbolism. From the Nativity Facade, where the story of Christ's birth unfolds before your eyes, to the poignant Passion Facade, a testament to sacrifice and redemption, every corner of the basilica offers a glimpse into the vision of Antoni Gaudí. Explore the chapels dedicated to different saints, descend into the crypt to pay homage to Antoni Gaudí, and visit the sacristy to see religious artifacts. See the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament for quiet contemplation, the Chapel of the Baptismal Font for baptisms, and the Chapel of Saint Joseph honoring Jesus' earthly father.
