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

Very easy to access the buses and convenient to see various sites. We had hot weather so it was nice to get to jump on an off to give our legs a rest and get shuttled somewhere else.

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.

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...

It was very slow. A lot of stops where the driver got off and we stayed at the same stop for 10 plus minutes. Part of the bus tour that makes it helpful is getting to places. We had to get off and walk a few times far further than we would have liked as it would have taken over an hour to go 7+ stops.

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.
Elisabeth

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

Frequently asked questions about Barcelona Hop-on Hop-off bus tours
What if it rains during my tour?
Don't worry, most of the Hop-on Hop-off buses in Barcelona are equipped with retractable roofs to keep you dry in case of rain. However, you might want to pack a small, foldable umbrella just in case, as the top deck may remain open for those who prefer a rainy-day view.
Can I bring my own food and drinks on the bus?
While bringing your own picnic basket might not be allowed, you can usually bring your own drinks to stay hydrated. Just remember to dispose of your trash responsibly when you hop off. This way, you can enjoy a refreshing sip while admiring the Sagrada Familia or Park Güell.
Are there discounts for children or seniors?
Yes, most Hop-on Hop-off tour operators offer discounted tickets for children and seniors. You can usually find information about age ranges and discount amounts on their websites or at ticket booths. This can make a family trip more affordable.
Can I get off the bus and explore an area, then catch the next bus later?
That's the beauty of the Hop-on Hop-off system! You can hop off at any stop, explore the area at your own pace, and then catch the next bus when you're ready to move on. You’re in control of your schedule. Just remember to check the bus schedule to make sure you don't have to wait too long for the next one, especially if you’re on the Barcelona Bus Turístic as they run every 5-25 minutes depending on the season and route.
Can I buy tickets directly from the bus driver?
While it's sometimes possible to buy tickets directly from the bus driver, it's usually recommended to purchase your tickets online or at designated ticket booths in advance. This ensures you have a spot on the bus, especially during peak season, and sometimes you can even score discounts for online bookings.
Are there audio guides for children?
Some Hop-on Hop-off tour operators in Barcelona may offer audio guides specifically designed for children. These guides often feature age-appropriate language and interesting stories to keep the little ones entertained and engaged. Be sure to check with the specific tour operator to see if they offer this option.
What are the peak hours for Hop-on Hop-off buses in Barcelona?
Peak hours for Hop-on Hop-off buses in Barcelona are usually mid-morning to early afternoon, especially during the tourist season. If you want to avoid the crowds and have a more comfortable experience, it’s a good idea to start your tour early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
Can I use my ticket to transfer between different routes?
Yes, your Hop-on Hop-off ticket allows you to transfer between different routes operated by the same company. For example, if you're using the Barcelona City Tour, you can switch between the Green (East) and Orange (West) routes. You can plan your itinerary to see all the parts of the city that interest you.
Can I use the Hop-on Hop-off bus as my primary mode of transportation in Barcelona?
While Hop-on Hop-off buses are a convenient way to see the sights and get around the city center, they may not be the most efficient option for every journey. If you need to get somewhere quickly, you might want to consider using the metro or other forms of public transportation. The Hop-on Hop-off bus is really best for leisurely sightseeing.
