What are people saying about Barcelona

Reggie_Y, Mar 2026

Best Day ever

Such an amazing day on The Best of Catalonia tour with Andres! From the beautiful streets of Girona to the stunning Costa Brava views, everything was perfectly planned. One of my favorite moments was our stop at a small local town for wine and vermouth—the owner was incredible and somehow brought the whole group together. It turned into such a fun, memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see the heart of Catalonia beyond Barcelona!

Montserrat Full Day Tour with Farmhouse Lunch and Winery Visit

MaryJo_R, Mar 2026

This was an excellent...

This was an excellent tour. We were a small group directed by our energetic and knowledgeable guide, Xavi. Montserrat is a very unique and special destination and well worth the drive from Barcelona. The second half of the excursion took us to a family-owned vineyard where we saw the inner workings of a 19th century winery. We sampled various wines bottled at the vineyard and were fed a delicious meal where Xavi discussed the different wines and their food pairings. All in all a great way to spend the day.

Barcelona Segway Tour

Chrisandra_T, Mar 2026

Super fun way to discover the city!

We had the BEST time discovering parts of the city by Segway! I was so nervous about learning to drive one but our instructor was so patient and kind and so informative. After about 5 minutes I knew what I was doing! Learned the history of the whole area - such an amazing experience! Thank you so much!!

Do this early in your trip!

We had such a great time! We were with Joe and Stephan and they were awesome. We learned so much and saw parts of the city that we never would have seen otherwise. I recommend doing this early in your trip so you can take advantage of the recommendations that the drivers give!

Sagrada Família - just do it!

Our group consisted of about 10-12 folks, very easy to stay together. Our guide Christina was fabulous, very knowledgeable and easy to understand. If I am back this way in a few years I would return to Sagrada Família to see the completion! (It is nearly complete, but still a work in progress)

Great travel arrangements after a cruise

Prompt and responsive as soon as we disembarked from our cruise. Our driver called to let us know of his arrival, helped with our luggage, and brought us to our hotel. Recommend when you’re staying in Barcelona after your cruise and avoid the taxi lines.

A great option if you only have one day in Barcelona!

This was my husband’s and my favorite stop on our cruise. The tour was very comprehensive and our guide, Sergio, was knowledgeable, funny, and made sure we had a safe way back to our ship on time. I didn’t know much about Gaudi’s work coming into Barcelona and I left with a great appreciation for what he was able to accomplish. Barcelona is beautiful and vast, and I felt like we got to see a lot with what little time we had there. I was a little apprehensive about doing a tour outside of the cruise line, but this was very well organized and a better option than what my cruise offered here. Thank you Sergio!

Very Good Sevice

The booking was a bit confusing as I didn't see where to add the pick up time so the confirmed time wasn12 midnight even though my cruise arrival time was set for 10 am in the comments. Despite this error Viator customer service got me in contact with the tour operator and a driver was dispatched to collect us immediately. The driver was very courteous and professional and my party were relived to start our vacation in Barcelona in a positive manner. I would highly recommend this company.

Paid to be picked up at my hotel. However, in the middle of the night, I received a text message that I would have to walk a short distance to the pick up point. being in Barcelona less than a day, It was difficult to find the pick up point. We were right by an Apple store a department store, but instead they chose a hotel with no recognition.

Private tour in Barcelona

Donna_C, Jul 2025

Private driver in Barcelona

Imran was an excellent driver, very accommodating to our speed and limitations. He pointed out many highlights and we made all the stops that the guided tour made. We really wanted to stop at a tapas restaurant and enjoy some sangria while in Spain. Perfect choice. Never felt rushed. We enjoyed our private tour and highly recommend it. Love Barcelona.

Barcelona Highlights Private Tour with Driver and Official Guide

David_A, Jun 2025

Great option to see Barcelona

Our driver and guide took us around Barcelona showing us the highlights. They let us spend as much time in each location as we wanted, which was great. They know the best spots for pictures. It was nice to be in an air conditioned vehicle while driving around to see sites. We stopped and walked around in a few places. Guide was knowledgeable, van was clean and cool. When booking this tour, we couldn’t decide between this tour and a tuktuk. This tour, the van, was definitely the right call as we were able to cover much more territory than a tuktuk.
