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

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!

Both though were…read moreamazing as the different guides were able to provide unique information which made it seem like we were covering the topic for the first time. 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.

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!!!!

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).

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!

We did a Spain Portugal tour from Go Ahead and added couple days on both ends. Plus did the add of Guardi excursion that took us to more of his works. The guides told us alot of historical details and gave us a bit of time to look about but I would have rather had less history and more time to take it all it. so much detail. guide said this was the largest outdoor bench and it's very crowded so if you are waiting for no people in your pictures it's not going to happen. I suggest trying ai to delete the people if they are an issue for you. ChatGPT gives you some free but have to take 1 person at a time which would be unfortunate with this crowd so upgrade at least temporarily to the plus for I think 20 a month. My samsung phone provides free ai but like the other program it's pretty much 1 person at a time. Barcelona was a crowded city so if your like me and sometimes really want no strangers in your pictures try ai ... it doesn't always work immediately but usually does a great job. welcome to the new way to edit your pics. I didn't bring my real camera on this trip ... just my samsung phone which has pretty decent camera.

This is a lovely park and in my opinion, a must experience in Barcelona…read more We took our two kids and they had a great time. I wish I would've bought my tickets a little earlier so that we could've gone in the morning but I'm happy we got in anyway we took our baby in her front pack, which worked pretty well but at the same time I missed my stroller, but I feel like if I would've had the stroller there would've been a lot of carrying the stroller up and down things so I'm not really sure what you do there to win. Food options were very limited inside the park, which surprised me there were some vending machines and that was kind of it so we were pretty hungry. I would pack a picnic and do it that way where I had to do it again and I would also pack the picnic before getting off at either of the two close train stations where we got off there was like nothing towards getting food and then we went on the other way when we left, and that was all just really touristy, not great looking options

We finally figured out our English tour guide meeting location where we met others on our tour. When we walked over to La Sagrada Familia Basilica our English tour guide distributed audio headsets. This UNESCO marvel offers more than just breathtaking views. It is Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece, a basilica full of symbolism and architectural brilliance. The La Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona has been under construction for over 140 years. Our English tour guide shared its fascinating history, from its beginnings to the ambitious goal of completing it in 2033. The La Sagrada Familia Basilica will be the highest building in Barcelona and the highest church in the world with a height of 172 meters. La Sagrada Familia Basilica is very impressive from its size, both outside and especially from the inside with the many colored glass windows with the sun shining through during our 4-5 PM audio tour. I feel this was a great time of day to experience La Sagrada Familia. This should be your #1 place to visit in Barcelona. Our taxi from the La Sagrada Familia Basilica to Park Guell cost 15 Euros cash including gratuity. More to come regarding our next 7 PM guided tour of Park Güell.
