Go even if it’s just for the views from the top! - Highly recommend this tour. The views were amazing. I had no idea how big Barcelona was until I saw it from the top of the mountain. An easy way to learn as you make your way to the top.

Highlights of Barcelona Tour - The city of Barcelona is absolutely beautiful and the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona.
My concerns were with not being able to understand the tour guide who did speak English quite well but spoke extremely fast. While listening on the provided earbuds, the tour guides speech was garbled and difficult to understand.
I also felt the tour guide had no concept whether all the people in the tour were able to keep up with the group or not. One of the ladies in our group was having difficulty keeping up and the tour guide kept going so as to get us on the bus on time but had no idea that the lady had fallen behind and had decided to take a taxi back rather than continue the tour with us. People in the group had to inform the tour guide, Jessika, and she was very concerned about getting the communication headset back from the lady and concerned as to why the women had not told her. The tour guide was focused on getting us to the bus as we were running a little behind schedule and the woman really never had a chance to let the tour guide know.
It was also difficult to tolerate only one bathroom break on a 4 1/2 hour tour. Knowing that information up front would be helpful.
We also were expecting we would be going in a church as our excursion documentation stated we needed to keep our shoulders and knees covered. We never went into any of the churches. Overall, I enjoyed the tour but I had some concerns as stated above.
