We had a fantastic time on this tour. Our guide was amazing. He showed us many things and the timing was right. We never felt rushed but did a lot. Love the amazing sights!
No driver showed. They don’t have a driver for our tour but didn’t bother to notify us. We received a full refund but had to call Them when no one showed to find out it was cancelled.

We did not get a guided tour as we expected. The driver barely spoke to us and his English was difficult to understand. We have used Viator before and were very pleased. This was a disappointment and we felt overcharged. It was more like a taxi (we were in a taxi) drop off service.

Nadeem was great knew how to travel around the city and was really helpful. Show us a lot of neat little hidden gems as well. Would definitely recommend this to everyone.
Daniel was our driver/tour guide and was one of the nicest people I've ever met. He was wealth of knowledge and very flexible with what we wanted to do or see. He spoke several languages and is very intelligent. He had fantastic suggestions and I would recommend his services to one and all! Thanks Daniel!
Excellent comprehensive Introduction to Barcelona..Driver was professional, knowledgeable and listened to our preferences . Highly recommended..
The traveler will get to see some of the main sights of the city. The information provided by the guide was not in depth nor did the guide seem to have much historical prospective. We had to ask a lot of questions to get info from him. Perhaps we should have been more clear that we anticipated learning about Barcelona. The guide was friendly.
Dear Traveler, we are sorry to hear that your sightseeing ride was not up to your complete satisfaction, please reach out to our team at hello@welcomepickups.com with your transfer id so that they may look into your concerns further. Thank you
My private tour of Barcelona was awesome, I really enjoyed the history and the attention to detail that I was given by my tour guide.
I think this would be a great intro to Barcelona, but our tour guide was either new or just not a good guide. He was pleasant, but no one in our party of 4 could understand him. He was also very monotone. In addition, there were 4 of us crammed in a small cab. I know things are smaller in Europe, but the three of us were very uncomfortable in the back seat. We were tired from travelling overnight and the person in the front seat fell asleep during the tour. Again, he was very nice and kind, but we didn’t learn much from him.
Dear Jan, we are sorry to learn that your sightseeing ride did not go as well as expected, if you like please contact our support team at hello@welcomepickups.com with your ride id so that they may look into your concern and assist you further. Thank you for reaching out.
We had a super tour with Fernandes. My partner is on oxygen and unable to walk much distance. Fernandes adjusted our stops with great care which we really appreciated. He talked to us about living in Barcelona which brought the city alive for us.
