There was not much going on at the time. The information on the bus was competent and helped us a lot.
Once on the southern tour there were no stops which was very irritating.

The explanations, the friendliness of the staff
It would have been good if the exact stops of the hop-on hop-off bus had been indicated on the map (
street names) on the map, especially if you continue on foot and get on at another place of interest.

This is a great service. It was very busy the day we were in Barcelona. The Barcelona Bus Turistic: Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus had multiple buses, sometime having two or three running right behind each other to help carry the load of customers.

We loved the convenience of the HoHo. Unfortunately, on day two (May 22) the wait times were absolutely terrible. One and a half to two hours wait. This ended up costing us 40 euros for a taxi. You should have more busses or sell less tickets in order to accommodate the time of year.

The tours on offer are comprehensive enough to give you an overall view.
The day rate, which allows you to hop on and off and also take the other tours, is very attractive.
However, there was a slight downside: the drivers drove quite fast (was this due to the absence of traffic jams on this December 26 holiday?), which cut off the spoken commentary in the headphones, so the end of the explanations about the place concerned was regularly missing). It was also somewhat incomprehensible that the drivers had to take 10-minute breaks (in front of the santagloria café for the blue line, and at the port for the red line). From my point of view, the speed of the buses is too fast, which creates a discrepancy between the comment and the place that is supposed to correspond. Often the comment was heard after passing the location, and sometimes it was heard long before arriving at the location. There may be room for improvement here.
Other than that, it was fine.
