What are people saying about Barcelona

Best tour in Barcelona, carve time out of your vacation for this.
Our guide was totally adorable and knowledgeable.
Finding her was a little confusing, when Viator says meet by the rock shop, they should be more specific.
Turns out, the Rock shop is part of the Hard Rock Cafe.
We were looking for a gem shop.
Knowing that would have made it easier to find our guide.
Regardless, we loved the tour and our guide was wonderful!

Visit to Sagrada Família
This experience was well organized and very informative for exploring the Sagrada Família. An amazing architectural achievement. Our guide provided interesting historical and anecdotal notes that helped enhance our experience. We visited on the early evening in September and the light in the western windows was stunning. Totally recommend you visit with a Viator guide. Our guide made sure the group stayed together and made accommodations for one of our party who needed some assistance to navigate steps and crowds. Five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A must do in Barcelona!
The best way to see Sagrada Família! You cannot possibly understand the depth of the architecture and symbolism without a trained, knowledgeable guide. Mark, our guide, was great! Kept our group together, very informative ! We were a fairly large group, I think 25 or so, but Mark made it feel like we were a small group bc we could all hear(via ear phones) and see what he was describing.
Amazing experience all around!!!

Amazing company and service!
Amazing company and service! Our driver was at our hotel early, which was nice, because we were early too.
The ride was comfortable and the driver very very friendly.
Thank you for a perfect ride. We will definitely be using their services again, the next time we're in Barcelona.

Coast and Montjuic on e-bikes
A highly recommended tour with Ilya. Great views and easy cycling on e-bikes including up to Montjuic.
We didn’t want to take a tour that included the busiest spots such as Sagrada Família where we would be going another day.
The cycling was very manageable, with a good pace and several stops to take in the views. The steep road up to Montjuic was easy on the good e-bikes. The tour lasted just under 3 hours including a 20 minute refreshment stop at Montjuic Olympic pool. Ilya was mostly a good guide.
We saw some of the gothic quarter on our way back to the depot.

Great and unique way to see the city!
This was an incredible way to see the city, even if you've been to Barcelona before. We are a family of 4 - one 16 and one 13 to. This was our 2nd time to BCN. Andre and Pablo were amazing and such great guides. You really get to see all of the major places. If in BCN for your first time would do this in the earlier part of your trip. Would definitely do this again!

Very pleasant and professional service.
Very nice and private tour. In just 1.5–2 hours, we got a great overview of Barcelona’s main sights. The service was professional and friendly, and the guide spoke clear and easy-to-understand English, which was perfect for non-native English speakers.

This was a really well...
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!

Good info and use of time
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.

Truly the best of Barcelona!
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!

Great highlight tour when you have limited time.
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.

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!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
If your cruise stops in Barcelona, then shore excursions are a convenient way to make the most of your time in port. Barcelona shore excursions are designed with cruise schedules in mind and typically include round-trip transport between the port and top attractions. From guided visits to landmarks, including Sagrada Familia and Park Güell, to scenic drives along Montjuïc, tours let you explore the city’s highlights without the stress of planning. If you have just a few hours or a full day at your disposal, there’s an itinerary to match your timeframe and interests.
