I didn't think the 2 of us could be in one sidecar so I had thought there might be 2 guides and each of us tourists would be in a separate sidecar. Imagine my surprise when Stefan showed up on one motorcycle, my husband wanted the sidecar, and I ended up on the back of the motorcycle, for only the second time in my life! Because I've heard about so many motorcycle accidents I have been leery of them my entire life, even though I have no qualms about skydiving, scuba diving, or snorkeling with sharks. But Stefan put me at ease once we got helmeted up with our bluetooth mikes to listen to his commentary and respond back. While riding I thought it was possibly the most dangerous thing I'd ever done in my life, not wearing all kinds of protective gear on my arms and legs. But because it has the sidecar the chances of bike tipping were miniscule if not impossible. After a bit I settled down and had the time of my life! Although the description says long pants and close toed shoes are a must, because it was so hot we didn't have to wear long pants and I think my husband had sandals on. Bottom line - we had an absolute blast! It was our first outing in Barcelona so it provided an excellent overview of what we feel was the entire city, and knew which parts we'd want to return to. This was SO much better than a Hop on Hop off bus because we were so small we could go down skinny alleys and really see the city, and we went to way more places than a HOHO could go. I will be looking for a sidecar tour of every new city we travel to, just because of this amazing experience. Thanks Stefan!

Our transportation company came with two vans for our group. We had to wait maybe 20 minutes once we cleared customs from the ship. The two gentlemen were very polite and help with the loading of our luggage in the vans. I would definitely use them again.

The team from “Barcelona Holidays” are EXCEPTIONAL ! You cannot get any better : Anna Monica Niam These guys gave clear instruction, were knowledgeable, kind and were very independent - not ushering us into restaurants of their choice or hard selling any other commodity. From the moment we were picked up from Barcelona Nord Bus station until being dropped back there later in the day, everything went perfect. Lloret and Tossa are lovely places to see, and as you’d expect, plenty of restaurants and shops to make the day memorable. There was even a little (optional / free) hour long walking guide in Tossa . The times between each of the places and the boat trip were spot on . And for what we got, the price is very reasonable. Thank you so much ! We fully recommend this excursion D & C x

This was an excellent full-day tour and one of the highlights of our time in Spain. The organisation was smooth, the guide was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging, and the driver made the day comfortable and stress-free. We felt safe throughout and everything ran on time. Montserrat itself was impressive, with incredible scenery, history and culture. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions and fire risk restrictions, some activities were unavailable on the day, including the walk to Saint Michael’s Cross and the Sant Joan Funicular. While that was disappointing, it was outside the control of the tour operator and safety always comes first. The standout for us was the winery visit and lunch. The food and wine were excellent, and the experience was made even better by the guide’s knowledge, storytelling and conversation around the table. It was a relaxed and enjoyable way to experience the region and learn more about local food and wine culture. We were a group of four and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the day. A well-organised tour that offers a great mix of scenery, history, culture, food and wine. Must do! Highly recommended.

Do not take the metro to Parc Guell, only the bus.. otherwise you will have to hike all the way around it to the main gate where the tour meets (you are welcome)! Our guide was a trained art historian, making the tour very informative. It was very short and it was nice to have our time spent wisely. Yes, you can do research and wander on your own. The tour includes skip the line, but the regular line was moving quickly.

Albert is a terrific guide! He took us all around Barcelona and passed on a wealth of knowledge. We learned so much about this beautiful city today as well as its vibrant history. We hit all the highlights. This was our first visit and we will leave feeling we have missed nothing!

Interesting 1/2 day tour of Barcelona highlights. Very reliable service. Excellent communication with guests about meeting point and drop off. Flexible drop offs available Excellent guide qnd driver, Christina and Tarik. Great for cruise shore excursion, too. New, clean mini bus.

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!
