Very convenient to use if...

Very convenient to use if you can find the stops. Great tourist information and guidance. The bus was very helpful and time saving compared to walking long distance. On day two on the weekend we used the tour bus, many key tourist destinations of the Red Route were skipped and bypassed due to a large city event we were not told about when making our online reservation. The Buses were very clean and comfortable and the multi-language tour information system was a great and knowledgeable feature. I don’t believe got our value worth.

Bad experience

We paid for two days and were only able to use the bus twice because most rodes were closed off which caused us to miss events that were paid for. You would think this should have been communicated to us in advance. For now on this will be something I pay for when I arrive to my location. Very disappointed. Other than that, i’m pretty sure this could have been a great experience

Lame tour, great means of getting to sites.

Not enough information. Most sights they would just tell what the name Of the place is. Hardly any details. And often we could see other places in the distance with no mention of what they are. And then filler music. There should be enough to say about this city to fill the commentary! But it was a great mode of transportation and worth it for this reason.

Not a good experience

Me and my family have been on a few hop on and hop off buses on many different vacations. This one was nice but so many stops got cancelled that it caused us to have to walk everywhere and we even missed a tour because we couldn’t get picked up. We all bought 48 hr passes but only got a few hours out of the services. Refunds should definitely be offered under these circumstances. It was really hot and my family members were older and had to walk in the heat to everywhere, which defeated the purpose of buying the ticket.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear about your experience on the City Sightseeing Barcelona hop-on hop-off tour, especially as you were travelling with family members and using a 48-hour pass. We fully understand how difficult and exhausting it must have been to walk long distances in the heat, particularly when relying on the hop-on hop-off service in Barcelona to provide convenient transport between stops. We also regret to hear that several stops were not available during your visit and that this affected your ability to fully use the service and attend planned activities. This is not the level of reliability we aim to provide, and we understand your frustration regarding the impact this had on your overall experience. Your comments will be shared with our local operations team so they can review the stop availability and service performance on that day, and ensure better communication and operational consistency for our Barcelona sightseeing routes. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve both the comfort and reliability of the City Sightseeing experience in Barcelona for all passengers.

Hop on Hop off Bus

Get off when you see something interesting. The routes are very long to do the whole loop and come back to what you wanted to see.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your City Sightseeing Barcelona hop-on hop-off tour and found the flexibility useful to get off at the places that interested you most. Our Barcelona sightseeing bus routes are designed as full loops to cover all the main highlights of the city, but as you mention, the real advantage of the hop-on hop-off system is exactly that, being able to stay longer at the attractions you prefer instead of completing the full circuit. Next time visiting Barcelona, we recommend our scenic Eco Catamaran Cruise, soaring above the city with breathtaking sea views on the Monjuïc Cable Car, Fast-Track to Sagrada Familia or discovering Park Güell. We really appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again soon on board City Sightseeing Barcelona.

Because of so many...

Because of so many languages, the audio of the sites is recorded and you use earphones to listen. Some of the sets/boxes don’t work.

Operator response

Dear Dianna, Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that you appreciated the multilingual audio system and the flexibility it offers during the Barcelona Hop-On Hop-Off tour. At the same time, we are sorry to hear that some of the audio equipment on board was not working properly. Your comments are very important to us and will be shared with the relevant team so we can review and improve the maintenance of the equipment to ensure a better experience for all our guests. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon on one of our tours.

Practical for knowing the sites to see all at once.

Tips. Live on their site hola. This allowed me to get senior tickets at a better price. Or if you are 6, you can also benefit from 10% off the tickets at the bus stop. For me, it is better to start with the blue circuit in the morning. Moreover, be careful when you want to go back; the upper levels are often full, especially if there are several of us, and being together sometimes means letting one or two buses pass.
