Enjoy a unique experience in Barcelona on an evening tour of the incomparable Sagrada Familia. Take in stunning views from the perfect vantage point of the famed church, accompanied by a glass of sparkling cava.

Experience Barcelona's most famous attraction, the Sagrada Familia, like never before with this carefully designed evening tour. Avoid the long lines of this iconic site and visit after the crowds have gone home with a local guide.
Start things off by toasting the church with a glass of cava from a chic rooftop terrace overlooking the UNESCO World Heritage site. Your guide will share some background information on the Sagrada Familia and its creator as you sip your cava and capture some stunning shots of the architecture.
Next, you’ll take a brief stroll over to the church and admire its fascinating façades. Your experienced guide will share stories that shed light on Antoni Gaudí's great vision and the many hidden secrets throughout its design. Find out why there is a sculpture of a Roman soldier with six toes, marvel at the Japanese-style statuettes, and discover the religious symbols present in Gaudí's work. Uncover the meaning of mysterious figures and be on the lookout for a devil holding a bomb! Don't miss the gothic gargoyles that add an eerie element to the façade either.

Not only will you explore the building's history, but you’ll also find unique details such as Gaudí immortalizing his own face in one of its walls. You’ll even have the chance to take a look at his tomb in the crypt of the building that he dedicated his life to create.
Join this evening tour to experience the Sagrada Familia exactly how you want to—without the busy crowds.
