A good overview of two iconic landmarks - A nice overview of Park Guell and a very thorough tour of Sagrada Familia. Knowledgeable guides. Prepare yourselves for a few things. The tour involves a lot of walking and stair climbing. The meeting place for the Park tour is very hard to find if you are on foot from public transport. The group size was very large. The timing of each aspect of the tour is not well explained in the instructions. Big gaps in time which gives you time to explore and even grab a bite to eat. Take plenty of water because it is not available in either location.

Chaotic Tour But They Get You There to See These Amazing Places - Tour was chaotic and not well organized because between the 2 locations you have to go back to their office near the Sagrada Famiglia and check in all over again and get assigned to a different guide that the morning tour. Most people didn't know they had to do that and one couple from Australia were actually left behind at Parc Guell by the guide who didn't bother to count heads or make sure everyone was there. He was rushing through everything and just not clear but provided useful info here and there. The 2nd guide at Sagrada Famiglia was much better and did a very good job of providing info in 3 languages and taking questions and moving everyone along. At least at the end we were able to spend free time exploring more of this amazing church and really soaking it all in. Really enjoyed the tower extension--lots of stairs going down (360 in a narrow spiral staircase) but we were up really high in a spire and felt like were seeing a special area not everyone accesses. In all fairness I think most of these tours are chaotic due to the heavy crowds and restrictions -- not much you can do to get around it so just be prepared and go with the flow because the sites are worth it.

Okay, but could have been more effective. - Our guide moved a little fast up the stairs and was sometimes hard to understand. I thought it was an English speaking tour, but it became a bi-lingual one so she had to repeat everything as we went along. She was knowledgable, but we seemed to do a lot of standing around and waiting. The Sagrada was fantastic.

Finding Meeting Spot Difficult - DO NOT USE GPS DIRECTIONS FROM THE APP TO YOUR MEETING PLACE FOR THIS TOUR.
We climbed straight uphill (like you’d see in San Francisco). We made it to the top and were told to climb more. We did and were told “Wrong Gate. Go down and walk two minutes (downhill) to the other gate”. We did (uphill) and were told we had to go to yet another gate…down two flights of stairs, across the street and down the hill. By the time the tour began, we were a hot, sweaty mess. And maybe that was why we did not really care for the tour at Park Guell. If you like to walk and climb, it could be for you.
However, La Familia Sagrada was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my long life. To go inside is a MUST. I appreciated the bus ride - even though it wasn’t cooling after all that walking in the heat. But to have to wait on a corner to get our tickets and wait for the new tour guide to begin shift seemed unorganized. There was a lot of stand around and wait. In talking to the other guests, we were not alone in our disappointment.
Kudos to the first guide we had. A male - 39 years of age. He was kind and caring for our well being. We must have looked as hot as we felt. 🤣

Poor value - Park Guell was presented only in English. This part I would rate 4 out of 5.
Unfortunately our same guide at Sagrada Familia was providing Spanish and English. He was rushed and unclear. He spoke in Spanish much more than English. We were disappointed.
We did a free walking tour today looking at Gaudi architecture. I learned much more from this free tour.
Cheers
