Runner Bean Gaudi Tours and Sagrada Familia ticket discount

On May 2, I'm planning on doing Runner Bean's free Gaudi tour at 11 am, this is a 2-2.5 hours tour, which ends outside Sagrada Familia. Later I plan to go inside Sagrada Familia and Park Guell (only the park).

The tickets for May 2 are listed on a discount for people less than 30 years (8 EUR instead of 15EUR), but the entry time is only from 5:15 PM onwards.

Now keeping all this in mind, I've come up with an itinerary. Need some advice if it's doable

11AM - 1:30 PM: Take the Runner Bean tour, which ends outside Sagrada Familia

1:30PM - 2:00PM: Lunch near Sagrada Familia OT leave for Park Guell and have lunch nearby (open to suggestions)

2:00PM - 2:30PM: Travel from Sagrada Familia to Park Guell OR lunch nearby (open to suggestions)

2:30PM - 4:30PM: Park Guell (not visiting Gaudi's home and assuming no queues for the park)

4:30PM - 5:00PM: Travel from Park Guell to Sagrada Familia

5:30PM: Entry into Sagrada Familia (how long are the pre booked tickets queues)

Also what would be the best way to travel between Sagrada Familia and Park Guell?

Bus 92 runs from near La Sagrada Familia to near Parc Guell. I haven't taken the bus myself, so I can't be more specific than that. UPDATE: See Bill's post below. Bus 92 is no more.

Since you're allowing yourself just one hour between the end of the tour and your Parc Guell entry time, lunch is going to need to be a pre-prepared sandwich or salad obtained near one end or the other of that transfer. I think there may be more options near La Sagrada Familia. I don't see any way you have time to sit down and order lunch.

Hey acraven, thanks for the reply. We can manage on some take away sandwiches :)

Booked the tickets. Final price was 16 EUR for 2 people (under 30 years). I'd recommend people to buy their tickets in advance for great savings.

Have you considered visiting Sant Pau? It's a beautiful modernism sight, designed by Domenech i Montaner, who also designed the Palau de la Musica de Catalunya (a must-see, buy tickets for the guided tour in advance). Sant Pau is a 10-15 minute walk from SF and you'll pass lots of lunch options on the way. Sant Pau offers guided tours but it's easy to do on your own.

Oops; thanks for the update, Bill. Perhaps for people in a hurry, a taxi might be worthwhile in this situation.
