Awesome

RICHARD_D, Sept 2023

Great insight and pace from the guide. Flexible and informed. Worth the money to avoid a self guided audio tour

Amazing architecture with a knowledgeable guide.

Robert_V, Sept 2023

Our tour guide, Mark, was very passionate about the church. That made for a better tour for us. His knowledge was very good on what we learned from him. Highly recommend this tour.

Great Experience!

Alexa_S, Sept 2023

Our tour guide was fantastic! We was very funny as well and had lots of facts to educate the group on. The meeting spot was very well organized and I even received 2 phone calls from the company at the time of check in to make sure I found my guide. It was just enough time with the guide and we were also given as much time as we wanted to roam around after. I do wish we got to see the towers, which this ticket at the time of buying said I could add tower access but I didn’t see an option for it. It was sold out at the time of the tour so definitely add this ahead of time!

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Hello Alexa, Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback with us! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed every aspect of the tour and that the calls from our team were very helpful in finding your guide.

Most unaccommodating tour guide

Joanne_G, Sept 2023

We were totally disappointed by our tour guideWilliam’s attitude today. We had mistakenly booked on a spainish speaking tour instead of English. The English guide was happy to take us but William ( that’s the name he gave us) said no they made a mistake they need to stay with the spainish group. He then proceeded to tell us the same thing happened to him in London and he couldn’t change! He was most unpleasant and certainly not the attitude you would expect from a tour guide. We proceeded to do our own thing as even the spainish speaking guide said there was no point us following the tour as all in spainish. We asked William if we could swap to another time or day and he dismissed us saying we had to call operator and he did not have a number but it was also too late. We spent £92 on the tour which was utterly wasted. We have booked many times with Viator and never been disappointed so this was quick a shock for us as we pointed out to William explaining we were surprised at his dismissive attitude.

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Hello Joanne We sincerely regret to hear about the inconvenience you faced, and we truly understand how disappointing this experience must have been for you. However, it is crucial to clarify a few points regarding this situation. You did book the wrong language, and unfortunately, your booking occurred during a high-demand period and all the slots for the English-speaking tours were completely sold out. Each tour has a strict participant limit, and tickets are purchased 24 hours in advance, leaving no room for last-minute alterations as stated in your voucher. Therefore, any requests for changes should be made at least 24 hours in advance. We believe that our colleague (who was the meeting point manager, not your guide) provided the correct response under the given circumstances. It is impossible to make any last-minute changes to the tour, and it is essential for our clients to be aware of the terms and conditions of the service they are booking. Our policies are stated clearly and are in place to ensure a smooth experience for everyone involved. We always encourage our clients and future clients to read the vouchers and service conditions carefully to avoid any misunderstandings, as once the policies are agreed upon, there are no valid grounds for complaints if those policies are breached. We highly value your satisfaction and hope that this explanation provides some clarity on the matter. If you have further concerns or queries, please feel free to contact our customer support team. Kind regards

Incredible site, guide had strong and weak points.

Judah_G, Sept 2023

The church is an amazing structure inside and out. The guide was knowledgeable and passionate but often hard to hear -spoke at low volume with mic too far from her mouth.

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Hello Judah, Thanks for your comment. We are sorry to hear that there were communication issues during the tour. Our team always strives to provide the best and offer an enriching experience. We hope that, despite these inconveniences, you were able to enjoy the monument. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into account to improve our services in the future. We hope to see you again soon!

Tour of Sagrada Familia

Our guide was so sweet and informative She knew the history and had her own questions about the building as well I was surprised that I was the only one to give her a tip

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Hello! Thank you very much for your comment. How wonderful to hear that your experience with the guide was so positive! Sometimes, generosity goes unnoticed, but your gesture of leaving her a tip is a valuable recognition of her excellent work and knowledge.

The meeting location was...

Kyung_P, Sept 2023

The meeting location was okay since taxi driver told us to stay in the spot but later we had to find more precise location after the tour guide's phone contact. The tour guide had strong accent and was very difficult to understand her English. That was reason why I rated 4 star.

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Hello Kyung, Thank you very much for your comment. We understand that accents can be a challenge when it comes to communication, and we appreciate your understanding in this regard. Despite the difficulties you had in understanding, we are pleased to know that our operator made their best effort to provide you with the assistance you needed to reach the correct meeting point. We value your feedback and hope that you enjoyed the overall experience despite the minor inconveniences. We look forward to seeing you again in future experiences!

Great tour guide

Valerie_G, Sept 2023

Mark was an amazing tour guide-very knowledgeable, friendly and fun!!! I have friends who visited Sagrada without a tour guide (used the audio tape) and their experience was not as enriching as ours. This was a worthwhile tour!

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Hello Valerie, Thank you for your kind comment about our guide's performance! We're delighted that you had a positive experience with our guide, and we agree with you that the Sagrada Familia is a truly magnificent place with a lot of history and symbolism that is definitely better appreciated with the guidance of an expert who can make the visit much more enriching. We hope to see you again soon and share a new experience with you!

See above.

Christine_R, Sept 2023

The guide was knowledgeable but he had a heavy accent, was late to start, was early to end and he left us standing in the direction hit sun many times when he could have left us in shade. He was very average.

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Hello Christin, We understand your concern and appreciate your patience. We acknowledge that the summer heat in Spain can be challenging, and while we do our best to ensure a comfortable experience, it can sometimes be difficult to avoid sun exposure. Regarding the delay, you are correct that there are various factors that can affect the schedule. We always recommend that customers arrive at least 10 minutes early to avoid any inconvenience. However, delays can occur due to unforeseen circumstances, such as the late arrival of other customers or rigorous security procedures at places like the Sagrada Familia. We value your feedback and are continually working to improve our services and minimize inconveniences for our customers. We hope that, despite the challenges, you enjoyed the overall experience and will give us the opportunity to serve you again in the future.
