La Sagrada Famila private tour

We are 4 people (two Couples) that will be sailing on the Oosterdam October 27

We are searching for a private tour for Oct 26th that will include the towers. Half a day should be more than sufficient.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Your best bet would be to connect with others on your sailing through the Holland America Roll Calls. To find yours, go to Boards and then scroll down to Roll Calls, choose HAL then choose your ship. You'll see all the sailing dates available. This is a terrific way to meet your fellow cruisers and to co-ordinate excursions and get recommendation, too. We did the La Sagrada Famila tour last year (booked it with Barcelona Day Tours) and it's amazing. Have a wonderful cruise!

Some research on the Spain board, here:

would be beneficial.

Go to their website sagradafamilia.org and buy the tickets on line, you get a window like 10:00am to 11:00am etc. to show up, it works great, no standing in line, just go to will call. And from the ship just take a 15 min.taxi from the shuttle stop to the church (amazing project).

Agree, go to the Sagrada Familia site and buy your tickets. Be careful. There are different types of tickets and if you want to do the towers, make sure your ticket includes that. A bit of research is worthwhile as there are some cons regarding the tours. In regards to pre-booked tickets, the arrival window was 15 minutes last time we were there. We shared a cab with another couple from our roll call which really minimized the cost.

We've been several times as the church is always progressing. It's fabulous.

Also, if you time your tour correctly, you can see Gaudi's crypt in the basement.
