This was an amazing tour. Although we were many almost a full bus, the agency sent two guides and the group was split to every site, so everybody was able to hear and see._br/_ The explanations were in Spanish and English, alternatively, but the guide had no problems in covering both languages fluently. _br/_ My conclusion of this tour is that, even with a smartphone, someone will not see or get the information that a professional guide can offers. The guide will always be better.

Perfect timing for what we needed. We managed to see most of the main attractions in a short period of time. The bus was modern and clean. Wifi access while on the bus was a plus. Our guide was new to the role and while he seemed knowledgeable his English could be improved.

Disappointing. Too little time spent at the Olympic site and too much time spent at a reproduction shopping area. I did learn about olive oils but the rest of the time I just spent sitting around since I didn't want souvenirs or do any shopping. The aerial tram was ok. Would choose something else.

This was a good experience. Nice to get a bundle of activities. Unfortunately, though, it was my first day, and I didn't realize how long food/meals take in Barcelona. So, I stopped to get a snack in the Spanish Village and lost 3/4 of my time there. I was sad I didn't get to go into a lot of the little shops. But it was still neat to see, along with the walking tour and cable car ride.

This was an absolutely marvelous tour, with a fabulous tour guide, would recommend this to anyone who visits Barcelona, Spain. Our only problem was that we did not actually complete the tour due to my husbands inability to walk the distance.

This was a great way to fit in an overview of Barcelona in a short, organized and informed way. Our guide was wonderful. He kept our rather large group together and on time. The bus traveled through important parts of the city, then took us above the city. We departed the bus to go on a short cable car ride to view the city from above. The, we were dropped off at the Spanish Village to have a short visit, but enough time. We then drove around the former Olympic area. Our final destination was the Gothic Quarter where our guide took us on about a 30 minutes slow paced walk through the area. Well worth the time and money.

Great views of the city
Review by: Mary S, March 2016
We were told to arrive on a street corner at 8:35 a.m. for our 8:45 a.m. tour. The bus finally arrived at 9:05. The tour guide was difficult to understand at times. We did cover a lot of the City in one-half day. I would probably do the hop-on-hop-off bus next time instead.
