“One of the most memorable structures on the planet. The divinely inspired genius of Gaudi is almost too much to comprehend. I am still marveling at all we saw days later. And our guide, Juan-Miguel, was our own Virgil explaining the meanings behind what we saw. The most memorable tour of my life.”

“It was great to have a start time for the Dome walk (I’d recommend going earlier than later as it gets very hot on the walk up and there’s no much air). The rest of the attractions were great. The only advice I’d give is to arrive early or later in the day as the queues were horrendous between 11am and 4pm.”
