Shore Excursion: Barcelona City Tour Hop-On Hop-Off

1.Shore Excursion: Barcelona City Tour Hop-On Hop-Off

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 280 reviews · 2 hours 20 minutes (approx.) · from $39Our pick

Ride Barcelona’s East and West routes on an air-conditioned double-decker bus with multilingual audio. See the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Gothic Quarter, beaches, Camp Nou, and Montjuïc. You can hop off at major sights, but traffic, crowded buses, and the cruise-port connection require careful planning.

“Excellent two day overview of the city. Lots of stops, but lots of traffic meaning that you spend quite a bit of time sitting at traffic lights. However, the times quoted at the various stops are reliable.”

“We visited La Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, and Casa Mila at La Pedrera. We visited several parts of the city ( Gothic quarter and Born area) as well as multiple cathedrals. Our tour guide, Sergio, was the best: informative, knowledgeable, and added humor along the way. He constantly asked us what questions we had to ensure he was addressing our needs. I highly recommend Sergio as a great tour guide.”

“Unlike our MONACO disaster with VIATOR (which you'll see in my review), the Barcelona Shore Excursion was an excellent experience ... from the moment of our pick up at our cruise ship dock, throughout the excellent tour route, and ending in the drop off at our Barcelona hotel. Everything was taken care of without a single problem. NOTE: Viator should specifically clarify to its customer that the "actual tour" is handled by a sub-contractor, "not Viator."”
