Barcelona bus review
A bit complicated for the 1st stop as the site map is not very precise Apart from that the service is very convenient, the buses are very frequent, there was one almost every time we arrived at a stop, almost no waiting.

Lying disgraceful company bus turistic
Disgrace of a company, liers and thieves! We paid for our tickets, waited at bus stop 3, buss arrived, tickets scanned, however, behind us another one of their buses broke down, which led to the lady on our bus not giving us our tickets, as she got caught up in the concussion! They stopped us getting on thr bus to allow the pasangers from the broken down bus to get on, so they made us wait. Anyway another bus came and me my partner and our 2 kids were ushered on, never asked for tickets, which I couldn't have given ad the lady still had them. Went on th tour to stop 23, after spending some time there, went back to the bus stop to be denied, and accused of trying to cheat the company, and having them threaten to call the police on us and our kids! The bus kicked us off, we tried the next bus, only to be denied again, until, the driver of the broken down bus came to our aide, he confirmed our story, and reluctantly the bus manager let us on, we were not happy as they were being horrible to us and our kids, and despite the bus driver confirming our story, they refused to honour our tickets. After sending a complaint their now denying it even happened. It was their mistake for not giving us the tickets. Disgraceful! They really upset our kids! Horrible company! Stay away!

Dear
The advantages of this bus are the ability to get on and off as you wish during the duration of your ticket, having explanations with a multilingual audio guide, and the fact that there are 2 lines. The disadvantages are that the audio guide is not always synchronized with the location you are at, so the monument has already passed by the time you are informed about it; where the bus stops, it is complicated to take photos without getting off (with 3 children, it is complicated) and the price (33€ from age 13 and 18€ from age 4). I think that if you have 2 days and you are adults wanting to visit, do not hesitate; otherwise, it is expensive for what you will do with it.
Response from the operator: We're glad you appreciated the flexibility of the hop-on hop-off service, the multilingual audio guide, and the two routes. We also value your comments regarding the audio timing and pricing, and we'll share them with our team as we continue working to improve the experience. Thank you for traveling with us

Poor organisation & not family friendly
The price through trip advisor was significantly more than they are charging at the bus stops so wait til you get there. If you have a baby in a pram they make you take the baby out and fold the pram up which isn’t ideal if your baby is asleep. Instructions from trip advisor were poor on how to locate the correct bus stop so we wasted a lot of time on this. The buses are very busy and if you need to sit downstairs in the air con for young family then you won’t see much because of how the seats are positioned and there’s not many seats downstairs. Definitely wouldn’t recommend for a young family.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Barcelona City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Barcelona City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Barcelona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Barcelona City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Barcelona is not rushed.
Is Barcelona City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Barcelona City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Barcelona City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Barcelona City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Barcelona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Barcelona and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Barcelona City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Barcelona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Barcelona?
+
Barcelona's Gaudí sites are capacity-limited and the official timed tickets go first, so most of the market is resellers with a guide attached. We weight those heavily on whether the guide is an architecture specialist. Beyond Gaudí, the tapas crawls in Gràcia and the Montserrat day trips carry the highest rankings in the city. On Outty we rank every Barcelona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel, Cliff Jump & lunch Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Barcelona?
+
May, June, September and October. Sagrada Família light is best mid-morning. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Barcelona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
