Taxis aren't very common in Barcelona and while we did use the subway system a lot, Barcelona Bus Turístic was our main source for traveling around, which was our main reason for using this company, especially because our hotel was one of the stops along the way, which was fantastic. Barcelona Bus Turístic was typically on time to each stop. The drivers were safe and the staff were very kind. There was an instance where we were in line for a very long time and they cancelled a line which made things worrisome on how to get back to the hotel but it all worked out (our hotel was on a very steep mile+ incline). We loved the option to be able to listen to automated tour guide and learn about the city during the drive. The sound quality was decent and we were able to hear clearly. Make sure you wear sunscreen if sitting on the top deck and enjoy the scenery!

Need to work on customer service. The worst bus tour ever…read more The ticket agent was extremely rude and unprofessional. He was talking loudly the entire time, making it impossible to hear the tour commentary. When we politely asked him to lower his voice, he was dismissive and instead played personal music from his phone. I've taken several bus tours before, and this was by far the absolute worst experience.

My wife and I had such a grand time, hopping on and of and even taking a few 10 min power naps on the us while being hauled around Barcelona. The driver was amazing, extremely attentive and had wonderful humor. We went in July, we didn't want the sun to beam on our foreheads - Scotty- .

We went back this morning for the second day and they said we needed our paper tickets from yesterday. Even the description on this site says Mobile tickets, but before you get on the bus they give you a small receipt-like ticket and evidently if you don't keep that for the entire 48 hours you're not allowed on the bus anymore. Further, even though we had our ticket that we received upon ordering (which was a QR code), they were unable to rescan the electronic tickets and reprint the paper tickets. We got no response from customer service and spent over 80 euro on this. I would strongly encourage everyone to use the other company (Bus Turistica).

Phone Issue since we landed in Barcelona no connection we booked this tour on our way to Miami after we left US problems Viator didn't want to hear it after our phone worked the day after tour. 2. Tour guide said he left voice mail , there was no voice mail . 3 . Directions in Spanish with the phone not working our hotel was able to print something for us to try & into the church , no luck. 4. We waited in front of church to try & meet guide no luck we checked with 6 other groups no luck however one group sounded like to new something about our name. 5. Why would we just miss this tour after paying for me , wife, and another couple does Viator need $239 that bad . We could not get our money back we will never use Viator plus I will let anybody I know how greedy this company is. sincerely Rose & Phil PS I have sent in other reviews & I will continue to do so

What a great way to see the city of Barcelona. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up renting twice…read morewhile we were in Barcelona for the week. I must admit, riding Vespas (scooters) was WAY out of my comfort zone. We rented 2 Vespas-the first day we went we got the 50cc scooters and the second day we got the 125s. My husband and friend's husband drove and we were passengers. I'm kind of a scaredy cat but we wore helmets and I quickly got used to riding. There are so many people in the city on scooters that I felt safe and the other drivers on the streets were very aware of each other. The people that work there were super helpful, went over everything, and even mapped out routes for us. We had a Barri Gotic route, a beach route, olympic village route and a mountain route among others. We so enjoyed riding through the city streets, saw things we wouldn't have seen, and enjoyed the views. Make sure you get an international driver's license, you must have this to ride these. (My husband and friend had done this through AAA for $15-easy process-before we left the States). Highly recommend this company!

When the confirmation came in, it looked like the same tour name, Gothic, but when I checked in for the 9am tour, it was clarified that the 3pm tour would be different, Gaudi Modernism. Reservations online were quick and easy. It costs 3 euro to hold a spot. I gladly paid the 6 euro for both. I took the 9am Gothic Tour on a Monday. So many people booked they called an extra guide. Many showed up without a reservation. There were three guides and we broke into three large groups. Juliana was great. She was little and didn't have an umbrella; we very temporarily lost her twice! But her knowledge and enthusiasm more than made up for it! She was also very personable. I highly recommend her! Natalia gave the Gaudi tour at 3pm. She was also extremely knowledgeable and patient; our tour involved getting the group on and off a metro to Familia Sagada. Would welcome her as a tour guide again. As per the custom, you decide the cost at the end. They took my dollars and euros. I highly recommend these tours!!!!

It's never been congested for the thousands coming and going in a few hours. Everything is well marked. Bag drop off east. Security quick. There's a decent sized duty shop for last minute items on your way to the ship. And wow, you're on. Disembarking is fairly easy too. Luggage.......a bit of a story. A couple of years ago I waited an hour for my luggage to appear. This year I left the ship 45 minutes later than assigned time and still waited about 15 minutes. Not a big deal as I wasn't racing to catch a plane. But allow the time if you are flying out same day. Taxis were quickly and easily available from the port. Yes, it's a great port to leave and or return to.

Parc de Montjuic is a public park that overlooks the city of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea…read more It was an example of town planning and architecture for the 1929 International Exhibition. Today it contains museums, the Olympic Ring from the 1992 Olympic Games, a castle, gardens, a fountain, cable car, and more. A tour guide drove my husband and me to this park. We enjoyed the panoramic views of the city buildings and the sea. Our tour guide explained that a Jewish cemetery was built into the hill. Overall, I would not call Parc de Montjuic a must-see, but it was nice to see.

Not only did we learn the secret of how to eat garlic without painful side effects (those of you "our" age will know what I mean) but I also went back for seconds on mussels. (A first for me.) ...and thirds! Wait... what? Some of the food that I have only tolerated in the past? I couldn't get enough of it! And my favorite gazpacho? Fuggedaboudit! ...and they promised to share their recipe for their mojito ice cream. JUST WAIT. You'll love it! Photos to follow..." That's how I posted to FB upon getting home from our experience at Barcelona Slow Travel. I was eager to share that to give a sense of enthusiasm that I had for that evening! Our hosts, Christina and Guillermo, were warm, friendly, funny and eager to please. While some of the treats on their menu were not a surprise (olive plate, gherkins and pickled garlic, and gazpacho) the rest of the evening's menu was entirely dependent on what Guillermo could find FRESH at the market that morning. ...and FRESH made all the difference. Their space is intimate and inviting. After getting to know each other for a bit, each of the guests were seated around a large butcher block table and given a cutting board and a sharp knife, along with a task - from zesting limes to veining garlic to prepping mushrooms, mussels, peppers and the rest, they put us to work! Guillermo ensured that each guest was performing their task just right, while giving us the background of the dishes we were preparing, making small talk and generally making everyone feel "at home." Frankly, the next several hours passed by in a blur. No, it wasn't the wine (okay, maybe just a little bit) but it was the pleasure of the company, the work involved, and the gastronomy! The evening was a resounding SUCCESS. I would not hesitate to return there. (In fact, one of our group was there for her second time!) So if you're in Barcelona and want to understand the food and the pacing of the dining experience, be sure to check these guys out! You won't be disappointed!

We could not swing The Dark Past Night tour as we were busy on the days for the seasonal rotation. That has been one the family has talked about over the years and we just have not been able to swing with timing. With how exciting multiple guides have told us it is, we will be planning a set day around that on our next trip to Barcelona. The free aspect is nice as we can tip the guide the extra portion in my mind as it is them taking their own time to provide their years of knowledge to you in a fun interactive environment. I would highly encourage anyone to go with Runner Bean Tours in Barcelona as it is better than the actual paid tours that just drag you along and provide canned talking points.
