We loved being able to enjoy the bus while doing our sightseeing all day long
from 9:45 am to 7:45 pm (we took the bus closest to our apartment, only 10 min walk away) impeccable 😉. We had a great day, the staff on the bus are very pleasant, it's great to find people who speak all languages (at least ours 😉). They gave us good advice.....
We recommend enjoying Barcelona this way for a day, it's perfect.....and not as tiring as it sounds because you can rest on the bus 🚌

Buying the tickets online was very convenient as I was able to save my euros for other things. We took the hop on and hop off green line in Barcelona and had an easy way of seeing a lot of the city. It was a hot day, so the bus ride on top was the best way to get a lot of the city in. My feet really appreciated the ride.
Ps. We only had one day and a half in Barcelona, so this was a great option to get in as much as we could.

Buying the tickets was very easy, but the activity didn't start properly... I had to ask for the headphones and map myself, the friendliness of the flight attendant was strange, this on the first day, the first contact. However, on the second day, the availability, friendliness and care were incredible. The pity was that not all the audio terminals worked and it was very hot downstairs.

my favorite attractions were: the shark tank, the nemo fish tank (an Italian cartoon), the penguins although I would clean the glass because then the pictures come out wrong (last picture), the transparent fish (I don't know the specific name)and the tunnel.

It is a good proposal ; interesting to be able to go down in the places of interest ; especially for those who do not know the public means of transportation ! It is necessary to be clear about the places you want to visit to plan where to get off ! There are places that can not be seen from the bus !

Nice way to see the high lights of the city. The audio tour was fun, but also focused a lot on architecture which the kids found less interesting. Maybe offer a choice based on age or interest?

The tour was great. We had difficulty figuring out where the stop was near our hotel and the train station. We were told it had moved but we spent 1-1/2 hours walking around trying to find it. The buses and stops were the perfect way to see Barcelona in 2 days.

All in all a wonderful experience. Lots of aquariums with exotic fish and display boards. Unfortunately, the building was totally overcrowded with visitors. Many groups of visitors (estimated over 100 children), so that you could no longer understand your own words and stood in a very confined space with the people in front of the aquariums.

Was really nice seeing the city in a short time. We did not want to go out because of the heat but saw a lot of major landmarks. One side of the bus did not have audio tourguide. Felt safe and comfortable. AC downstairs. Really easy buying the tickets through headout. Also for finding other things to do.

The whole package was just right, unfortunately we had the bad luck that we lost our bearings after the park and therefore couldn't find the bus stop. But apart from that everything was really great. I would book again.

There was not much going on at the time. The information on the bus was competent and helped us a lot.
Once on the southern tour there were no stops which was very irritating.

The explanations, the friendliness of the staff
It would have been good if the exact stops of the hop-on hop-off bus had been indicated on the map (
street names) on the map, especially if you continue on foot and get on at another place of interest.

This is a great service. It was very busy the day we were in Barcelona. The Barcelona Bus Turistic: Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus had multiple buses, sometime having two or three running right behind each other to help carry the load of customers.

We loved the convenience of the HoHo. Unfortunately, on day two (May 22) the wait times were absolutely terrible. One and a half to two hours wait. This ended up costing us 40 euros for a taxi. You should have more busses or sell less tickets in order to accommodate the time of year.

The tours on offer are comprehensive enough to give you an overall view.
The day rate, which allows you to hop on and off and also take the other tours, is very attractive.
However, there was a slight downside: the drivers drove quite fast (was this due to the absence of traffic jams on this December 26 holiday?), which cut off the spoken commentary in the headphones, so the end of the explanations about the place concerned was regularly missing). It was also somewhat incomprehensible that the drivers had to take 10-minute breaks (in front of the santagloria café for the blue line, and at the port for the red line). From my point of view, the speed of the buses is too fast, which creates a discrepancy between the comment and the place that is supposed to correspond. Often the comment was heard after passing the location, and sometimes it was heard long before arriving at the location. There may be room for improvement here.
Other than that, it was fine.
