Additional Information

Regardless of your cruise liner, this is the ideal independent shore activity in Barcelona. A two-story open-top bus tour awaits you at the Port of Barcelona (Port Olímpic - stop 6), just a 15-minute stroll from the cruise terminals. Opting for this hop-on hop-off tour is the prime means for cruise visitors to explore the city. Enjoy a superior perspective of the medieval cobble-stoned streets of Las Ramblas, experience the Port Olímpic beach promenade, witness the renowned F.C. Barcelona Football Stadium and more.

Take advantage of the freedom to get on and off the tour as many times as desired aboard this convertible double-decker bus. The bus offers two separate tour routes, the East Route and West Route, which are interconnected for your convenience, allowing for effortless hopping between them to fully experience Barcelona while your ship is docked. Your pass is valid on BOTH routes.

  • Please note that the itinerary is subject to change due to the events to be celebrated in the city (demonstrations, sport events, cultural events, official acts and public works).
  • Barcelona City Tour operates from 09:00 to 19:00 (last return) and with a frequency of 30 minutes approximately between buses at the stops.

Recommend it to you. - What a good inexpensive way to get around the city. Very organized hopping in the bus in major stops. I love the audio narrative tour, as well.

Good introduction to Barcelona - Nice bus ride giving us a good introduction on Barcelona with the green and orange routes. We enjoyed it . It would have been even better if the bus could have gone in front of some of Gaudi master pieces aside from La Sagrada Familia .

Great way to get overview of the city - This is a great way to experience Barcelona especially for first time visitors. Covers a broad area of the city and attractions. Allows everyone to see areas they want to explore more. We rode this clear thru the route and made our plan for the week of what attractions we wanted to spend more time exploring.

Convenient - My husband and I like these tours because we can look around without worrying about driving and traffic. However I would prefer an in person guide. The monotone prerecorded guide gets boring. Reminds me of every school lecture that I hated being in. Very convenient though for getting around the city. The map and stops were easy to follow.

An okay tour. - For me too little information was given about the tourist attractions. The information on the app regarding the information on when the next bus arrives was often wrong.

Not this one. The blue company - This hop on tour would not have been my choice had I waited to schedule when I got to the city. There’s a blue bus called bus touristic. There were twice as many buses running, in better condition and never any long lines. I won’t be dealing with Viator anymore due to poor customer service. You don’t need to buy these tickets ahead of time get them there.

Don't Bother - I would not recommend purchasing this in advance at this port. There are multiple hop-on-hop-off bus companies in Barcelona and we were not able to locate this particular bus company. You can purchase tickets easily enough once you get out of the port.

Horrible - Waited over 45 min for a bus. Decided not to wait anymore and we all had to take a a cab. Also, the driver seemed to be very young and very new. Very choppy driving many of us in our party started to feel sick from the driving. Not worth it! Would never recommend it.

A waste of time and Money!!! - This trip is not worth the money and is a waste of time! We spent 2 hours looking for a pick up point as the first five we went to we’re not operational due to an event in Barcelona!! Be aware that there are traffic lights approximately every 100 meters so your day will be spent sat in traffic We were abandoned 3 km from where we expected to finish due to the bus finishing at 7pm It’s a gigantic con!!! Get some comfortable walking shoes and use the metro!!!!! We will never use a hop on hop bus again!!!!
