Top Barcelona Shore Excursions - page 3

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!

This was a really well rounded experience if you are looking to make a day trip to Monserrat more interesting. Our guide Miro was knowledgeable and had a nice way of storytelling to keep your attention. There was a good mix of a guided tour and time on our own to explore. The lunch at the winery was quite lovely. It took place in a private room with a small plate of tapas and meat and cheeses. Some of the wines were quite tannic but the experience felt high end. The transportation was also nice, but the AC was weak and it was hot af that day. Miro ensured thar we had enough water throughout the day. Great experience, would recommend booking!

The guide is exceptional. We usually do private tours through Centurion (highest level of Amex) throughout Europe, and this was by far the best tour guy I’ve ever experienced. He was heartfelt, kind, knowledgeable, funny. He extended the time for my daughter and I to view different areas that weren’t part of the normal tour. He has a beautiful soul, and I feel very fortunate that we experienced Sagrada Família with his energy.

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.

We walked off the ship and Willy was waiting there for us. He stayed in constant contact with us via text until we arrived. Highly encourage anyone needing transportation throughout their trip to book via the Viator app before your trip even starts. Gives you peace of mind knowing they’ve gotten you taken care of. Well worth the price!

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.

We had this company pick us up at the cruise port for disembarkment and take us to the Barcelona Sants Train station. He was early and texted me his name and that he had arrived. We walked down and he was there ready to go. Very nice and easy experience! Would definitely use this company again!

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!
