BArcelona Sagrad Familia tour Recomendation?

Hi Folks,
We are in Barcelona for a week between cruises in April, and I was wondering if the group had any recommendations or preference for touring the Sagrada.
Should I do the Sagrada.org tour or one of the other local tour guide options

Thanks for your input

We didn’t go there on a tour, rather went independently which is our usual preference. We could spend as much time in the areas that interested us. You need to bring a good guide book along to tour La Sagrada Familia independently.
A whole week in Barcelona will be wonderful. Enjoy!

Last year when purchasing tickets on its official web site I also included their tour. It was a seemingly thorough introduction. I was quite happy with it. Your time there is not limited to just the tour experience. If you delight in history, architecture, or other in-depth details you may want to seek an offsite tour guide or another source.

I did the tour when they first opened in the morning. There were no crowds there yet and I got fabulous photos while learning about some of the things there that you wouldn't notice just walking around on your own. Afterwards, I stayed for another 3-4 hours listening to the audio guide, going through the museum, walking around the outside, taking more photos. I was very glad that I went on the tour.
