It was easy to locate the bus once outside of the airport. The price is reasonable and the individual accepting the ticket was effective and spoke English. I will definitely use their service again

I bought a package to visit museums and use Barcelona's transport system, which was a great opportunity and very affordable compared to individual prices. Some friends who were initially unconvinced ended up buying the ticket after seeing the prices around.

Public transportation in Barcelona is just good. With the Barcelona card you always have the choice to do it or not. We enjoyed walking and sometimes taking the public transport anyway. We also enjoyed visiting several museums. The MIRO museum, MOCO and the aquarium were the best in our opinion.
