The tour was great! We saw a lot of different views and the commentary was great! I liked that you could select different languages, although one bus had a problem where only one of the earplugs would work but that was really the only problem I expierenced. The staff was also really nice and professional. Overal a great addition to our trip. Thank you!

It's really simple—the bus is right outside the airport. We waited for two minutes; there weren't many people there. Thirty minutes later, we arrived at Place de Catalytiques, where our hotel is located.

The Hola Barcelona Travel Card is perfect for a stay in Barcelona. It’s easy to buy, you can pick up the physical card at the airport, and you’re ready to go. Just hop on a train or bus without a second thought and explore every corner of Barcelona. This purchase was definitely worth it.

So far I am enjoying the service. I only find that I am not able to hot-spot my laptop, which is a bummer because it would have been great for me to do this for my email and light Web browsing

I’m extremely satisfied with the data. Thanks to it, I don’t have to worry about internet access in Asia. I’m currently in the Philippines and the SIM card works great. I can take photos and upload them to Instagram instantly, anything I want and quickly. And the price is unbeatable.
