Palau de la Musica - Barcelona

Quick question for the smart Spain people!

We are in Barcelona now and I would like to get a tour at the Palau del la Musica - sometime in the next two days. I know, I KNOW - I should have booked ahead! The website now seems to indicate that there are no spots available on a tour in English until sometime in July. Can this be correct? Does anyone know another way to make this happen? I found a few sites online that "sell" tours, including one called "Get Your Guide" and another called "Barcelona Guide Bureau". These tours cost the same as the ones booked though the Palau - are they legit?

Thoughts?

Barcelona is wonderful!

We had folks on our RS tour last summer who walked up and got on a tour that day. Try it.

Have you tried going in person? I don't know if they hold any tickets back for in-person sales, but they have an electronic board showing all the tours of the day, the languages, and how many places are open. At least in September 2015, there were plenty of same day spots available (I had booked in advance, but on that day would not have had to).

If you can't get an English tour, consider either taking a tour in another language (while the tour information is interesting, it's the building itself that's the star) or buying a cheap ticket to a performance.

Thank you fabulous RS people! Went to the ticket office a few minutes after it opened and they had availability at 7 English tours for today. Got tickets for the last tour of the day and going back shortly.

Thanks for the help!!
