This was a superb way of seeing as much of Barcelona as possible being able to get of and visit particular places. Wonderful

Despite a protest the Hop on Hop off was on schedule. We were pleased with the number of buses they were running. We did not have to wait long to get on a bus.

Hop on hop off..... More like wait in line to maybe get on... May have to wait for 2 or more buses to get on. Hop off- easy. We ended up staying on for the entire route to avoid the long lines we saw at each stop.

Been on many “Hop On/Off tours”. This was the first were the attendant on the bus was so put out when you asked any question. All she wanted to do was scan tickets and hand out maps. Also the first time a tour skipped stops. Not sure why, all that did was cause us the have to wait several minutes at the next stops. Oh and it also landed us in the middle of traffic. Was disappointing. There are several other options we would try next time. Many other double deck type tour bus operators.

Wonderful commentary . Two routes included in the ticket. There are a lot of stops and buses run frequently. We purchased a 2 day ticket. The first day we rode to take in all of the sights and the second day we used the hop on hop off capability to explore the sights we were most interested in

The times for the catamaran are not ideal and they were never shared with us through any communication. I had to do a lot of digging to find the time and then when we got to the catamaran, the times were different. They also don’t tell you when boats are cancelled. I felt like we only did the green route bus tour because our entire day was spent around the catamaran tour instead of the hop on hop off tour. Overall, taxis and walking are the better option in Barcelona as this tour is not as well done as other cities like Rome.

The hop on hop off of Barcelona was convenient and oriented us well to the large and varied city as we arrived for the first time. Bus was easy to find and operators friendly, and top deck provided an outstanding view of the city, tour comprehensive and audio guide in several languages available to tune in. The only reason I didn't give five stars is that we paid for the add-on catamaran tour of the coast and it wasn't running that evening, or until late the next day for one hour only, coinciding precisely with our tour of Sagrada Familia. Not sure if it ever ran the next day either, given the somewhat windy weather, but we weren't issued any refund on our 48 hour ticket. So, maybe stick to a 24 hour ticket and skip the catamaran add-on to be safe and get your money's worth.

The Barcelona Hop-on Hop-off bus system is a great way to get around the city with narration available via headset in language of your choice. Be sure to also get the Catamaran 1 hr tour! It was a wonderful way to see the Barcelona waterfront. We had a great day yesterday!
