First time and in general the experience was fine. At times the commentary was out of sync with the surrounding. Also the timing on the app was out by some way. But its a good way to go around Barcelona and get a first hand experience. Maybe then if time permits pick key locations you can visit in separate trip.

Very happy with the service, pleanty of busses available, not too crowded ( October 25th 2025). Found audio guide in English really good and interesting, definitely worth listening! Got front seat on one of the busses, well happy! All in all good experience, tickets bought online with 10% discount, not sure if any better price in person.

We very much enjoyed using this service to explore the city of Barcelona. Several key stops and enough busses that when needed to hop back on , no long wait.

Our only wish is that bus would go another h...

This is the third time we have used on-off bus tours while in Europe. It’s a really nice way to see the sights, with the added bonus of being able to get on and off (thus the name) as you wish! Buses are always clean and the commentary is good and available in many languages. Make sure you have a hat or sunglasses if visiting a hot city in the summer!!

We booked the 48-hours bus plus catamaran which was good value for money. Buses were frequent, waiting time was never more than 10 minutes and we got to see most of the city. On the older buses many of the ports for the audio guide were not working and the app was sometimes not updating. Nevertheless, a great experience overall!

When is the best time to visit Barcelona City Tour (Barcelona, Spain)?

Visit in spring or fall to avoid summer crowds on the open deck. Carry a light rain jacket in winter since seats can get wet.
