The bus tours were amazing and provided us with the opportunity to see all of the amazing part of Barcelona. My group was a big one and yet we still managed to stay together and saw all the amazing parts of the city. It was very accessible and we visited all the main attractions. The stop were spread out evenly and we got to also have a food tour. The audio travel guide was also very helpful and there was language for every one. The quality of them at least in German was good and very informative. I would gladly recommend the survices to friend and family because it is wotlrth it and I would also advise anyone that goes on to the tour to book online l in advance because it's easier to cary the tickets on your phone in digital form. Overall I was very satisfied with the tours and services.

The first time I took these buses and I was skeptical. But I changed my mind In one day we visited all of Barcelona, even going for a swim in the sea! Very convenient in that there is about a 20 min walk between one destination and another, so madness to do everything on foot You can get off and on whenever you want Super explanations! Only warning, for park Güell book the day before. Because otherwise you go up about 500 mt really tiring walk to be told to book online and there was room after 2h So to be safe book the day before online so you will get off when you have the reservation time The stops are clearly visible Very friendly staff Now in every city I go to visit I will book this very convenient tour!

All around it was a great experience. The employees and the company proved they could smoothly and calmly handle the unexpected when we had to have a replacement bus after our bus had brake problems as soon as we stepped on the bus. A replacement bus showed up within minutes and the tour proceeded normally, no issues and no problems. The information given on the tour was interesting and just enough without overwhelming us with dates and times. The app was helpful when we hopped off the bus and later needed to hop back on. There is an opportunity to improve the audio, not all the audio jacks are in good condition. app was simple to use

    This was the absolute best way to see Barcelona! The hop-on hop-off bus was incredibly convenient, with frequent buses and well-planned routes that covered all the major sights like the Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, and the Gothic Quarter. The audio guide was informative and easy to listen to. The highlight for us was the eco-catamaran cruise. Seeing the city skyline from the Mediterranean was breathtaking and so relaxing after a day of walking. It was the perfect combination of efficient sightseeing and a peaceful escape. Highly recommended for a comprehensive and enjoyable Barcelona experience!

    We were standing on the street where the stop was marked on the map. The bus driver saw us and pointed us to the stop, which we walked across the intersection to, but the bus accelerated. Further on, we had two buses where the audio guides didn't work at various seats. The wait times without getting off at Plaza Catalan and Sagrada were far too long. The audioguide often breaks start again Some parts were faster by foot than by bus because of the traffic. Sorry but Hop On Hop Off works in other Citys better. I don't know if the competition in Barcelona is better

This path takes you to the far west side of the city, with must-see stops like the legendary FC Barcelona stadium and the National Museum of Art of Catalonia.
