Buses were frequent, not too full & new. The audio worked well and we could hop on/off at all the sites we wanted to see. We got a two day pass and did both of the routes, one each day. When purchasing the tickets at the tourist info office the lady tried to sell us tickets the other hop on/off... More

We did both of the routes offered by Barcelona City Tour today - the green and orange lines. I've written this review as there is another company offering bus tours in Barcelona, Barcelona Bus Turistic, who operate the blue hop-on buses as opposed to BCT's red hop-on buses and you don't want to mix them up! The routes and prices... More

Decided to use the Grayline (orange/Green) bus tour as it has almost identical stops to the other tour company operating, only it seemed to be less crowded and just as frequent services. We also got a great discount when we bought the bus ticket and Camp Nou (football stadium) ticket at the same time from the tourist outlet located in... More

We took the bus line and did a part of circle, then stepped out for montjuïc. Afterwards we returned and did another part of excursion and then stepped out for other atractions. A little bit expensive, but if you are using the line for whole day it can be gainful, not only convinient. More

You must take the city bus tour, do not leave Barcelona without going on the bus tour, it shows you a truly beautiful city with exciting sights and history, you get off and shop and get on later. It's beautiful. More

Out of the two tour lines we preferred this orange and green line, on random selection. Both the lines have almost identical stops. We opted for a one day trip and hopped off at a few selected stopovers. Taking the green line first gives you ample time in the morning to cover Sagrada Familia church and return to Placa Catalunya.... More

We took the two day tickets and used the first day to take the bus from start to finish points without getting off, we thought that this would be a good way to get our barings in the city and also decide on what we wanted to see on the second day. We found that the bus route took us... More
