Does this tour enter the homes built by Gaudí?
No, however you will likely walk by and stop in front of Casa Mila and Casa Battlo and your guide will offer explanation of these houses. Same goes for Gaudi's house inside the Parc Guell.
Does the Sagrada Família ever close unexpectedly?
The church itself is almost always open for tourists, but on rare occasions parts of the Basilica close for special religious events. If an area normally covered on a tour is closed, our guide will still provide explanations of the closed areas from outside. Plus, we will show you an extra site or gallery to compensate.

Because the Sagrada Família is a consecrated church, you must cover your shoulders and knees. We recommend bringing a light scarf or shawl if you are wearing a tank top or shorts during the summer.
