Ticketing was easy on line. Had to ask at two different TI booths where to get the bus and didn't realize we still needed a paper ticket not the QR code. Tour was good we saw lots of sights. Would have liked less music on the head set and more descriptions and history about all the things we saw. Barcelona is a beautiful city so it was enjoyable

A nice way to experience the city when you have a limited amount of time and travel with children. Friendly staff who put the security during the ride on top. We liked it! The bus driver drove carefully as well.

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.

It rained that day and as we wanted to be up top originally we were told we had to sit downstairs...when we hopped on again we were able to sit up top and then the rain started. The awning helped but every corner turned dumped water all over us by the side!!!

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 friendliness of the staff Disappointed I thought I would see the monuments at the different stops. It's more of a "bis" which allows you to go to the reserved visits than a tourist bus in which you can stay to see all the monuments (like in London).

Booked the tickets online, which was fairly easy Then looking for a boarding stop This gave more problems, also because you don't know what they look like. So we went to grada familia to get on the bus. At first we were also wrong, but once we knew which buses and the staff explained the concept to us, our adventure could begin. Nice way of exploring the city with explanations in your own language about what you see along the way. And you can leave or re-enter the bus whenever you feel like it. This way you do not have to miss anything of Barcelona

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.

The hop-on-hop-off is a great way to see this whole, large city. However, the 'guided' tour was way ahead of the locations which was often confusing and frustrating.
