barcelona, what a magnificent city, definitely my favorite, good food, sun, very well served with the 5-day pass "holà Barcelona", on the other hand, it doesn't work on all zones, so you still have to pay 2.65€ per journey each time, which is a shame.

We chose this tour because we were only in Barcelona for two days. This package allowed us to see all the main attractions and tourist spots quickly and efficiently. We were able to take in the beauty of the city in just one day and use the hop-on-hop-off bus to visit the attractions we had booked. I highly recommend this tour. Great value for money.

What a great choice to have permanent internet, the price is modest compared to roaming rates in the country of residence. I traveled from Romania to Japan and had stopovers in several countries and the internet worked perfectly in each country. Congratulations to the company that makes it available to travelers.
