We did the Barcelona in One Day tour and it really did cover everything, Sagrada Familia and Park Güell included.

Tour overview
This eight-hour day starts and ends with hotel pickup and drop-off, and in between covers Barcelona's main sweep in a small group: the views from Montjuïc, a walk through the Gothic Quarter, a pass along the waterfront, and Passeig de Gràcia's Eixample facades on the way to skip-the-line entry at Park Güell.
Sagrada Família features too, though only from the outside; there's no ticket into the basilica itself on this route. That keeps the day focused on Barcelona's old-town and modernist highlights, priced per person, for anyone who'd rather see the exterior than pay for the interior visit.
The itinerary
8 stops, in order.
Hotel pickup
Your guide and air-conditioned vehicle collect you from your hotel to start the day.
Montjuïc Mountain
A scenic stop on Montjuïc for panoramic views over the city before heading into the old town.

Waterfront
Port Vell and the Columbus Monument round out the old-town section by the water.
Eixample and Passeig de Gràcia
A pass through the modernist district, taking in the architecture along Barcelona's grandest avenue.
Sagrada Família, exterior overview
A stop to view Gaudí's basilica from the outside, its towers and facade explained by your guide.

Questions and answers
Do we go inside Sagrada Família on this tour?
No, this tour views Sagrada Família from the outside only; if you want the skip-the-line interior visit included, the Barcelona in One Day tour covers that.
Why choose this over the full Barcelona in One Day tour?
It covers largely the same ground at a lower price, which suits guests who've already seen Sagrada Família's interior on a previous trip or plan to visit it separately.
Is Park Güell skip-the-line access worth it?
Park Güell caps daily visitor numbers and can sell out or involve long queues in peak season, so having entry already arranged removes a real point of friction.
How much walking is involved across the 8 hours?
The old town, Passeig de Gràcia and Park Güell sections are all walked, with the vehicle handling the longer transfers between areas: moderate but manageable walking overall.
