As an artist that has worked on the Sagrada Familia, it will be great to share my knowledge with you. Let's walk & talk about the best Gaudi's projects. Get into the architect's mind to learn how he used light, dynamic geometry & advanced architectural solutions on his masterpieces.
"Pili was incredibly kind, informative, and exceptionally knowledgeable about Gaudí and his works. Her passion for the subject was evident from our very first email exchange and carried through every moment of the tour.
I highly recommend participating in the full experience. The tour begins at a different location, followed by a taxi ride with Pili paid for by you to the Sagrada Família, where she provides a fascinating and detailed exploration of the exterior of the cathedral. I also strongly encourage you to pay the additional fee to tour the interior with her, which includes her admission and additional time. While the inside visit is not included in the base price, it is absolutely worth it and elevates the experience to another level.
This was one of the most detailed and enriching tours I have ever taken. Pili combines historical expertise with a genuine personal connection to Gaudí's work, bringing his vision and legacy to life in a way that is both engaging and memorable.
If you do nothing else while visiting Barcelona, take this tour and follow her recommendations. Whether you are traveling alone, with family, or with friends, the experience feels personal and tailored to your interests. Pili is warm, personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about what she does.
I would take this tour again without hesitation. Thank you Pili for being me into your world during our time together."
"Ellie was prompt and enthusiastic about Gaudi’s Park Güell, Família Sagrada. Prior to booking this tour I was under the illusion I could walk between the two sites but am glad she suggested a taxi for our family of five. Ellie was full of interesting information and context. She communicated well our meeting location.
The only downsides were completely on my end- we booked the tour for the heat of the day, on the first day of our trip- a bit jet lagged, and my youngest child got sick. Ellie was gracious and flexible to expedite part of our tour to accommodate a sick kiddo. We ended our tour early but are so grateful to see two important sites in Barcelona.
A guide like Ellie is essential to get the full experience and context of sites like these. While Ellie did not accompany us into the park or church, it allowed us to move through at our own pace and did not detract from the experience at all.
Thank you, Ellie, for your professionalism and kindness. "
Feel the magic of Barcelona's iconic Sagrada Familia. More than just a church, it's a dream set in stone. Explore the wonders of Gaudí's masterpiece on a private Sagrada Familia tour with a local expert.
A History of the Sagrada Familia
Construction of the Sagrada Familia began in 1882. When Antoni Gaudí took over a year later, he transformed the project with his unique vision. He dedicated over 40 years of his life to this masterpiece.
Gaudí: The Visionary of the Sagrada Familia
Antoni Gaudí, the genius behind the Sagrada Familia, was a master of Catalan Modernisme. Inspired by nature, he designed the basilica's interior to feel like a forest, with columns branching out like trees.
The Cultural Symbolism of the Sagrada Familia
The Sagrada Familia has three magnificent facades: the Nativity, the Passion, and the Glory. Each tells a biblical story through intricate sculptures, capturing the essence of Barcelona's rich cultural heritage.
The Light Within the Sagrada Familia
Stepping inside the Sagrada Familia is a breathtaking experience. The stained-glass windows filter the sunlight, creating an ever-changing cascade of colors that dance through the nave. It's a magical light show.

Book a tour with Ellie!!!
"If you take only one tour while in Barcelona, take the “Gaudi Walking Tour & Sagrada Familia Skip the Line” tour with Ellie! We loved, loved, loved this tour! Ellie’s knowledge of Gaudi and the intricacies and symbolism in his buildings is excellent and made Gaudi’s buildings so more much interesting and fascinating than they already are. Ellie has a great personality and made us feel extremely comfortable and cared-for from the very beginning of the tour. She also made great recommendations for shopping and dining. Cannot recommend this tour with Ellie strongly enough! If we are ever back in Barcelona, booking a tour with Ellie will be the first thing we do :)."
"Maria Carmen, thank you so much for a wonderful tour. You are so knowledgeable and easy going. You allowed us time to take in exactly what we wanted. We never felt rushed. We all agreed how kind and courteous you are Maria. The fact that we never waited in a line was priceless. Thank you “With locals”, your company is worth every penny! I would highly recommend Maria, 10/10!"

Andrea about Ellie
"Our experience with Ellie was great! She had to make last minutes adjustments due to the Sagrada being closed for the pope's visit and worked with us to make it a great experience. She's thoughtful and incredibly knowledgeable about Gaudi and the history of Barcelona. She is a very intentional guide from how to position us to see the best view of important sites, took great photos, and adjusted based on our specific needs! "
"Ellie was very flexible with us and even helped us navigate the metro. My son, although very tired from the heat loved looking for the various details she called out in our scavenger hunt. She even offered to move our tour to an earlier time if we were available due to the heat wave. I highly recommend going with Ellie if you’re visiting Barcelona with kids!"
"My wife and I had a fantastic tour with the brilliant Bianca… she took us on a 3 hour Gaudi tour which not only brought to life the wonderful Gaudi architecture… but also the broader Barcelona City context and Gaudi’s genius - a man well ahead of his time… Bianca is a fantastic guide and really made sure we covered what mattered most to us…. and also gave us some handy restaurant tips too… she is a pleasure to be with and her enthusiasm is infectious… we thoroughly recommend her… "
"Our family had a great Gaudi tour with Ellie, who is very knowledgeable, interesting and fun. This tour was the perfect introduction to Barcelona’s fantastic Gaudi creations before visiting inside. Our favorite was casa Batlo. Don’t hesitate to book a tour with Ellie! "
"Ellie was superb. Arrived at the meeting point right on time and her insight into the Sagrada Família specifically and Gaudi generally really enhanced our tour. Plus she is just a super friendly and helpful person so we connected right away. I highly recommend Ellie. "
"Ellie was great, very well informed and we got on so well. She allowed time for me to take numerous photos, took great photo of us and had suggestions for other places to visit whilst we are here on the Costa Brava. Would definitely recommend."
