Barcelona disappointment

Lynn_Q, Sep 2025
This was a small group of 7 travellers. Our driver Paco picked us up on time. I had received an email the day before to say that we would only see the Sagrada Familia from outside as they had not been able to secure tickets for the inside. This was very disappointing as it was the main reason I booked this tour. We were unable to go to Las Ramblas because of the road works. We continued on to the Cathedral but because Paco could not find anywhere to park we didn’t get to see that either! This was my first time with Viator, and although they reimbursed me £59 I would seriously think about whether I would use them again. I had a tour of the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento booked which they cancelled the day before because it was under prescribed.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your kind words about our driver. We would like to clarify a few points: Please note that Sagrada Familia may close the museum at any time without advance notice due to security requirements. The cost of the admission fee was fully compensated. This tour does not include the Amalfi Coast or Sorrento. We kindly ask that you address any related concerns to the correct business. We appreciate your understanding and wish you safe travels ahead.

Horrible service

Doreen_T, Sep 2025
Missed out on many sights we were supposed to see. Never said what letter at the port to meet. All and all horrible excursion. We are Requesting for a full refund. And lost are tickets to the Famila Sagrada never got entrance to Casa Guell. Or went to see Monjuic fountain. Never saw gothic quarter just la ramble. And are $90.00 refund for not seeing the inside of the Familia Sagrada is now 85.00

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We regret to hear about your disappointment. Let me address the concerns raised: 1. The detailed pickup information was communicated to both your email and phone in advance. Your statement about not having Wi-Fi for three days is difficult to accept, as among 19 participants you were the only couple delayed, causing the entire group to wait until we located you inside the cruise terminal. 2. Admission to Casa Güell has never been advertised or included in this tour. 3. Access to the Sagrada Família may occasionally be restricted by the authorities without prior notice. In your case, we compensated your expenses beyond the actual cost. 4. Your refund request has been declined by Viator, as all services were provided in full and all sites listed in the itinerary were covered, including the exterior visit to the Sagrada Família. For future bookings, we strongly recommend basing your expectations on the published tour itinerary and inclusions rather than personal assumptions. Safe travels.

The guide was good. We...

Shirley_B, Aug 2025
The guide was good. We had an overview drive around the City which included some photo stops. We also had a good walk (with comprehensive explanations) around the exterior of the Sagrada Familia, a good walking tour of the historic Gothic Quarter, saw the Barcelona Cathedral, several unique squares and some of Las Ramblas. We would be boarding a cruise ship later in the day and the tour provider was able to accommodate our luggage in the tour bus.

Recommend this tour if you are up for a walk through the old quarter

MISSEVELYNA_H, Jul 2025
I really enjoyed this tour of Barcelona, our guide Alina was very informative and gave a good commentary, the bus was new and very comfortable with a great driver. There is A bit of walking, 1.5 hrs around the old quarter and another 45min at yhe saggra famillia but Alina was really flexible with those who could not walk the distances ,, some of the group had tickets into the cathedral so others that didn't had time to shop and have lunch,overall a lovely day Shore Excursion seeing most of the city sights ,

Satisfied customer

Angie_J, Jun 2025
Tour as advertised. Knowledgeable, friendly tour guide. Wish it had shown us a little bit more of the city.

Excellent Tour

Yolanda_K, May 2025
This was an amazing tour. Our tour guide Alina was excellent and very knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona and the city in general. She went out of her way to make sure that we had a great experience and even fit in some things that we wanted to do/see that were not an original part of the tour. We chose the interior Sagrada La Familia option. Well worth it!
