  Superbe visite avec un excellent guide
Nous avons fait la visite de la Sagrada Familia ainsi que le parc Guell avec un super guide; Yassir. Yassir était un remarquable communicateur, patient, informé et enthousiaste. Il avait aussi un bon sens de l'humour et nous avons passé une excellente visite en sa compagnie. Merci!

Absolutely fantastic place to visit. The Sagrada Familia is mind-blowing. Photographs do not do justice. Beautiful light glowing inside. Highly recommend visiting the museum. Guided tour so worthwhile.

  Prachtig en imposant
Ondanks dat het NOG STEEDS in aanbouw is, sinds eind 1800, is het zo'n imposant gebouw waar je ogen te kort komt. Zeker de audiotour is een mooie toevoeging.
