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.

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

We could literally get on and off as we liked. The commentary was informative and enabled us to decide which sights were best for us to actually visit. Definitely worth doing for us 👍

I loved how convenient the drop off locations we're to major attractions. The app could be improved by providing addresses of where the pickup/drop off locations are located at. Initially when looking for the pick up location it was difficult to locate where we were supposed to go. It took us some time to figure out but after that it was great.

Was a great idea to see the high lights But the times didnt always match up where the location was and the plug ins did not always work.. cutting in and out

Do not have anything to add. Wrong infos related to park Güell (in the bus the said that there is a "visitable space without paying when there is not). Also the optional catamaran experience means that extra pay, meaning that is not optional...

So fun to visit many places! Unfortunately, 1 day is not enough to do everything, so we will definitely come back again!

We didn't like the fact that old and infirm people had to wait unprotected in the blazing 35 degree sun at the access stations until they reached the top.

Price payed was skip the queue. However we were not let skip the queue but had to wait and join a long queue. Apart from that it was a great experience.

Nice experience to see something of the city in a fairly short time. The buses run frequently. The tour guide in different languages through "earphones" was also nice! Nice rides through Barcelona

It could have a vending water machine inside the BUs. The walk around the city was nice but there were some spots that the bus doesn't stop (like Plaza de Espanha).

When we arrived at the Hop on Hop off the bus malfunctioned and we lost over 30 minutes and that time wasn't compensated in the 24h validation ticket.

The route was beautiful and taught us a lot about Barcelona. There was one downside, actually two. 1. The bus did not pass the Sagrada Familia at any point so we did not see it. My husband can't walk , so that was bad. 2. We also did not pass the statue of Columbus. Also a missed opportunity

It was very good! I already knew the services. However, this time it exceeded expectations. The drivers were top-notch and the assistants were great. One of them is Brazilian and gave a show of sympathy, affection and empathy. Congratulations to all involved!

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.
