City Sightseeing Barcelona Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Really was great! Took both runs and saw all the important attractions. Easy on and off at any of the stops.

I've done hop on/ hop off tours in both the states and overseas and this was by far my worst experience. If this were my first, I'd probably never do one again. The buses were mostly nice/ clean and staff was friendly/ helpful. The buses do come very often (10-15 mins) which is awesome. The stops are like nothing I've ever experienced. The site could be a several min walk or a public bus ride away from the bus stop. There are 2 routes which take 2 hours each to complete. The audio, although clear, left MUCH to be desired. If you are going to do La Sagrada Familia that will take u 2 hrs. Assuming u stop for lunch (1 hr), that's 7 hrs out of the day right there. Yes, the bus gets you around to city, but they are not points of interested you're going to get off, so you're going to spend a majority of your day, wasted, on a hot bus. Just sightsee on your own and save your money. I wish I did.

Great way to get your bearings in the city and easily get on and off at your chosen attractions. Staff was friendly and roof top is best for the view

Stunning way to see the beautiful city. Great when the weather is good. Headsets provided and gave informative information about landmarks and places. buses were clean and modern. Only issue was having to wear masks which seemed a bit pointless.

Great way to see the sights and select the ones you would like to spend more time visiting.the upper deck is the way to go

Taking too long, too slow. Masks on the bus are compulsory. Translation guide was boring. Many times was describing place already passed. If you are only for few hours in Barcelona, like us being only for 5 hours, because we had to get back on a cruise ship, don't waste your money and time. Taxi to Sagrada Familia costed only 14.5 Euro from the port.

The only reason I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars is that there was some confusion as to which bus applied to the booking. We tried to get on (what I thought was) the correct "city tour" red bus, but when we got there the attendant immediately told us that it was not the right bus and that what we wanted was the "touristic" busses. Then, when we got on that one, the lady checking the tickets told us that the reservation had been canceled! I knew it wasn't, but then it was stressful trying to access the wifi on the bus and call up the most recent ticketing info we had from Viator. I had pre-printed the original ticketing before the trip so as to make things easy, but for whatever reason it was not valid any longer once we got there. I don't understand why since the bar code on both documents looked the same. So, at any rate, once she scanned what I was able to retrieve on the phone, we were good to go. We loved being on the bus and listening to the audio commentary and rode the entire red route - which was our goal being that we needed it to get back to our hotel after visiting Park Guell and La Sagrada (also through Viator). So my only dissatisfaction is perhaps not receiving specific enough instructions as to which operator Viator uses being that I didn't realize there is more than one bus line that runs the same routes. It was a bit stressful being told we couldn't use the first bus and then also having to fiddle with the wifi to call up the tickets. The lady handling all this on the bus, however, was so very nice and patient with us being that it took one or two stops till we got everything straightned out. I'd highly recommend using the bus as a great way to get around. Only wish we'd have had another full day to make use of a 2-day ticket for additional sightseeing!

The recording was off from the location at times, the speaker spoke quickly and was difficult to understand:

Easy on and off at the best spots to see. Comfortable seats that the top was great for admiring the city as we went from stop to stop.

City bus is the best option when it comes to visiting Barcelona's top attractions. You get off the bus, visit, take pictures, then hop in next bus line included in the ticket. We had red and blue lines, which helped us see most of the top attractions in Barcelona. Great choice.
