Very positive experience

Very positive experience with the Hop-On Hop-Off bus from Julia Travel. The service is well organized, the buses are punctual, and the frequency is excellent, ideal for moving between the main attractions without stress. The route is complete and allows you to see all of Barcelona in a comfortable and scenic way. Clear and useful audio guide, perfect for getting oriented and learning more about the city. Friendly and helpful staff, always ready to assist and provide directions on stops and travel times. Great solution for those who want to visit Barcelona in a simple, relaxed way without wasting time on transfers. Recommended for both a first visit and for those who want to revisit the main points comfortably.

Add more stops closer to Laquarium

Very misleading, I paid in full on line for Barcelona hop on and off with Laquarium. Got on one bus to aquarium was informed by driver to get off that bus and take second bus to Laquarium; was informed by second driver there would be an additional 10-15 walk after getting off bus to the Laquarium. After walking over 20 minutes, we finally arrived at Laquarium only to be informed that Barcelona staff didn’t give us the tickets to enter the Laquarium. I had to show via app that I paid for the Barcelona hop off and on plus aquarium.

Recommended! Well organized and nice staff

Incredibly nice experience. Cozy staff who took a picture of us when we got in, which we could later pay for if we wanted to take care of it. Very exciting to see, well arranged for those with any wheelchair needs and plenty of space if there is a lot of people present. Incredibly fun and nice experience

Saves walking

Being able to see the beautiful city of Barcelona by bus and the Hop Off Hop On allows you to do this.

Horrible

The bus assistant lady on (red bus) green line bus number 2557 on 19th Feb 2022 around 1400 pm is unprofessional super rude, she doesn't want anyone to ask her questions (because she is busy??!!! hehe) she expects us to know everything ourselves other passengers were afraid to ask her any question.. I don't think giving her training on how to deal with customers/tourists will work as she has a very bad attitude. I directly booked with the other company (blue bus) who were very professional, nice and helpful staff, I wish I had booked with them all my trip rather than getting all the negative vibes .............
