The bus routes took a bit too long. Unfortunately we spent most of the time waiting at traffic lights then going really quickly past monuments. I have done a few hop on hop off buses, but probably wouldn't do this one again
The hop-on-hop-off is a great way to see this whole, large city. However, the 'guided' tour was way ahead of the locations which was often confusing and frustrating.
The red line has a lot of nice attractions and we never had to wait long for a bus. Unfortunately, we had less luck on the blue line on Sunday and ended up taking a cab

A very convenient way to get around the city and see it all. You get both red and blue lines which covers everything, and you never have to wait for the bus more than 10 minutes. We were the move all the time! Provides headphones and nice info about the places you pass, very friendly staff. Your time on the pass start from the first time you use it, so if you hop on at 12, you can hop on until 12 the following day for the 24h pass so it could basically give you two days if you use it smart!
Did the red and blue tour completely, great bus, great audio accompaniment! The IT system went on strike in the morning, but I was able to travel with an online voucher without any problems... I received my ticket after the first tour without any problems. All in all, a great way to get to know Barcelona comfortably in 4 hours or to go into detail at the individual stops from 9am to 7pm.

If you take both routes (red and blue), you can see the city's most beautiful sights without having to walk long distances. Unfortunately, a few routes had to be shortened due to roadworks, so that you couldn't see the Sagrada Familia from 3 sides, for example, but only the front/the main portal. Also Parc Güell could not be visited due to road works.

Great experience. The route shows us all the essentials of Barcelona. The ability to hop on and off whenever you want gives you total freedom to explore. I'd recommend it.

It's great to tour the city like this when you only have a day. A little more info at sights that are sold out would be nice. For example, Parc Guell. Quite a long climb and then get to the closed door. Will cost you an hour anyway.

Being able to see the sights...... But as a foreigner, explaining how to recognize the stop locations would/could have been better! Pics are fro sights we saw.... I would recommend this excursion very relaxing!!
A super fun boat trip, highly recommended. You sail along nice places and the snorkeling was also cool, too bad but very short.

it was awesome having one mode of transportation to get to all the good spots. But! quite a few of the attractions we stopped at were completly sold out so it was useless for us to get off there, and we didn't realize we needed to rebook tickets. it would be helpful to know which attractions should be pre booked to avoid getting off and making our way all the way to the attraction just to get turned down.
Staff very helpful, did red and blue routes, both interesting. Just a shame the air con wasn't working downstairs in the bus on such a hot day but it didn't spoil our experience
I can only recommend it, divide your time as you like, take the next bus and off you go. Go on.

All is very good🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Its so easy to see a large part of Barcelona and the information on the busses learn you at lot of the history of the town.
The aquarium is very nice, but it is small, you can go around it in 20 minutes, the little trucks make stops at the most touristic places and you can get on and off as many times as you want.

Saw the most important sights. Didn't have to wait long for the next bus. Had booked a 48 hour ticket, on the first day the Olympic Stadium was not served, which we noticed on the second day as we drove the route again and were suddenly standing in front of it. The organizers could have mentioned that FC Barcelona had a game that day and that was the reason. If we hadn't booked 2 days, we wouldn't have seen this attraction.

The information about bus stops not clear. If you forgot the place of this stop you will never found it even with google map. I have waste a lot of time walking the street looking for it. After park Guel I had to take the public transport because the staff of the park can't explain where the bus stop at all. Make the address of the stations or coordinates on the map, or direction on street signs. The sound of audio guide was low and with noise and cracks in some buses.
Very good service, very comfortable bus!

Top price-performance ratio

Pretty expensive and some of the sites were to far away to be seen from the bus (parc guell)
Seeing as many sights as possible in a short amount of time. I formative commentary, lovely clean busses.
It was good we could get of near all the attractions and the staff was friendly and nice.
Frequent traffic, well-functioning head-set and guidning.
The city was beautiful, was nice to go around with the bus

We really enjoyed it, although I found the departures a bit long on some stretches and I couldn't do both lines in one day. I recommend it for those who want to see all the sites and have little time, but I suggest two days, one for each line.

Which is quite cool, but I would like it if you could see somewhere how long the Vus takes from one stop to another to be able to estimate this with booked sights

Sometimes long waiting times at the boarding points. Partly poorly organized to board the bus, so that buses were not fully occupied even though there was a long queue
View original review in German
WONDERFUL experience, I did it as soon as I was in the city, it was useful for a general location of where each place was, and then I managed on my own without any problem. The audio guide info in each place is great to learn more about each place. A pleasure!

It is a very convenient service...practical..fast and you can experience all of Barcelona touching all the most characteristic places.

The bus driver wasn't stop on every station that he is supposed to stop. Using the green line he jumped from stop 3 to stop 8 and we didn't reach stops in the middle and our goal was stop 5 in Barcelonetta! When we realized this, we have to walk more than 30 minutes to go on coastline.
The stops are well distributed throughout the city. You can get on and off as often as you like. The ticket is valid for 24 hours (our choice) and that's perfect. The staff are very friendly.

Great organization, very helpful staff. Lots of information via the audio guide, all the important sights are covered. For us, the best way to discover Barcelona. Price/performance absolutely ok.

Unfortunately, the company's local staff were not friendly. There was a storm on 30.10.2024, which is why my ticket was damaged by the rain. Although I had a digital ticket, I was denied boarding the bus on 31.10.2024.

We had the bad luck of a strike for the pu lic transport but it was still pretty good. I would only wish for thebus driver to even take People standing for those who just want to go for 1-2 stops. Had to wait for 3 buses to be picked cause they were full :( în this way, a lot of Time is lost waiting for the next bus.
Diffocult to get a bus because to busy. Long lines of waiting people to get on the bus. Only early in the morning at the starting point chance to get on. Not working audio system..
It smooth and seamless booking with Headout. We had a good time on the bus, pity about the weather that didn't play it's part. It was a great for us wanting to see most of Barcelona and not having to travel on foot or by public transport. See y'all in the summer of 2025.
Really enjoyed the tour from the beginning of the online reservation, senior discount, staff friendliness, efficiency .... it was a great experience both green & orange. Thx
Bus tour very good. It's a pity that when it rains the bus isn't better equipped to protect passengers (wet seats upstairs). Very friendly staff

Beautiful tour. We got on and off on both lines. It is a very comfortable ride and with the audio guides you really immerse yourself in the city

Great combo! Really liked both places. And we booked them for different days, to have enough time to enjoy each one. The aquarium was a bit less than what I expected, but did have lots to see. With the cable car we almost lost our ride back down, as they gave us a physical ticket to be used for the ride down, but said nothing about it. Thankfully I put it in my backpack, but as we were 3 people and 2 left early we did not know, and the picture of the physical ticket barely worked. But besides this, great views and even on a windy day it was safe and you could enjoy.
The tour allows you to see lesser-known parts of the city and monuments and to stop and get back on whenever you want. However, the buses were always full and we had to wait at least half an hour before we could get on.

An unjustified 15-minute stop from 6.45pm to 7pm on 22/10 (was the driver eating a sandwich?). The driver got off the bus to buy food !!!!!! And the customer waits !!!!!

Friendly staff. Audio tracks supported 16 languages. The information was informative and insightful giving insight into the sights and culture. Routes covered all of the points I wanted to see. Sagrada Familia is a MUST NOT MISS, prebook your tickets as when I went early in the morning they were already sold out. I got a two day pass to do both the east and the west lines. One each day. Also, as far as timetable goes, it was right on time and you could track it on the city tour app to see how far you were from the stop and how far the bus was to getting to the stop as well. Not to worry if you missed it as another one was only a few minutes behind. Would highly recommend.
Ticketing experience worked well. Hop On Hop Off Bus is a very good servce. The headsets didn't work in some outlets which was frustrating. It was a great way to see the extended part of the city.
The guides were very friendly and helpful. Getting on and off the bus was uncomplicated. The only annoying thing was that we had to get off the bus at Placa de Catalunya on the return journey and it then took some time before we could get back on the bus.

The buss tok up to one hour to arrive and take us on the tour. There was so much delay that we did not get to do the full tour like we planned.
It's very good way see the city's landmark. Every 15-20 minutes new bus coming in your left place, it's very flexible. Bus have red and green roads, you can change it which line need more. Sight is everywhere and people are very helpful 😊❤️
What an amazing adventure me and my wife really enjoyed it to see everything about Barcelona with no trouble the busses were easy to go and I loved everything about is😎
Very friendly staff, helpful! Unfortunately the audio system didn't always work, so we did the last quarter of the tour without a description (port to Sagrada Familia). We didn't find stop 3, probably because of an event. A note would have been good!
