3.00Clean buses, could get a seat . Not much information given, mainly music playing . Good to use to get around Barcelona but could be more informative.
Great intro to exploring the city

4.00Took both red & blue lines. So much to see! The only problem was the audio on the blue line. Music too loud, speaking voice too soft so had to keep turning the volume up & down. Also on the blue only, the audio had a constant annoying ring making it hard to hear and unpleasant. No trouble with this on our red line bus.
Fantastico

5.00We loved traveling around the entire city on both the Red Route and Blue Route. You are able to get on and off at any stop you choose. Great experience!
Blue Line Loop

4.00Sights were ok - would liked to have actually had a view of Park Guell. Thought the ride through the neighborhoods a bit much. Lost a bit of interest towards the end of loop. Today we will check out the Red Loop.
Stay away! Never again!

1.00You are a rip of and a waste of money and time. If more than 2 people you should take a taxi cheaper and better
Fun day of city exploring.

5.00The best thing to do in BCN and be able to see all parts of the city. I'd do this again.
Not great
Srini D,Jun 8, 2026
- Review from Viator
1.00It was very difficult to identify how to get to the bus stops, and the frequency was not great. I had to message Viator the first time to identify a location near us (they were very helpful) but then afterwards even when using the hard copy location map, it took us 30 mins to find the stop near one of the museums. Not a great way to see the city or as effective transportation.
I’d give this one a C+

3.00Decent overview of the city, and there was never a long wait for a bus. However, the tour moved slowly, and the sound system was glitchy.
Pick the multi colored bus
Kathy J,Jun 8, 2026
- Review from Viator
4.00It’s easy to pick the wrong bus. When you see hop on hop off you see a red bus. The bus for this ticket is a multi colored bus that doesn’t say hop on hop off. The tour itself was acceptable. They give you a map and headphones so you can hear the recorded tour message in your own language. The messages are brief (what you are passing) without a lot of historical information. The intervals between messages are filled with loud local music. I would much prefer continuing talking about the history and other information about the city.
