Luggage rides free and drop-off can be the airport or port, which makes it a practical layover tour; inside entry to the basilica is a paid add-on. ## Overview Enjoy a small-group of 2-12 guests only! You'll get picked-up from your hotel or the cruise ship, and you'll visit all the important sites in Barcelona. Enjoy the views from Montjuic, stop at the Port Olimpic, and admire Gaudi's spectacular buildings. Discover the best part of Barcelona's Old Quarters with a guided walking tour in the most elegant part of the city - El Born. At the end of the tour visit the Sagrada Familia. Here you can choose to either do a panoramic visit and we will then drop you off where you wish to go, or you can choose to visit the Sagrada Familia inside with your skip-the-line tickets. If you choose to skip-the-line at the Sagrada Familia, you will be directed to the fast-track entry to continue your audio-guided visit. The inside tour is usually 60-90 minutes long. In short: see all the highlights of Barcelona + get picked-up at the start of the tour + skip-the-line at the most famous site + tour in a small and intimate group! ## Key facts - Price: from €89 per person - Duration: 4h - Rating: 4.84/5 from 366 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Top Day Tours ## What's included - Bring your luggage with you if needed (no extra charges) - Drop-off to your hotel, cruise port, airport, or La Sagrada Familia - Pickup from your hotel or cruise ship in a new and air-conditioned vehicle - Panoramic visit to the Sagrada Familia at the end of the tour ## Not included - Food / drinks - OPTIONAL - add skip-the-line inside visit to the Sagrada Familia (outside visit is included) ## Itinerary 1. **Parc de Montjuic** (15m) - Enjoy the panoramic views over Barcelona and the port 2. **Basilica de la Sagrada Familia** (45m) - Sagrada Família is Barcelona’s most iconic landmark, designed by Antoni Gaudí.
