We used the Bus Turistic on a beautiful day in October. We sat upstairs and enjoyed the great views of the many areas of Barcelona, riding both the red and blue routes. The recorded narration was clear and easy to understand, though at times we would have appreciated even more information. If you are in Barcelona for several days, do... more

My fiancee and I have always been a fan of Hop On/Hop Off buses, and this one did not disappoint. There are SO MANY beautiful things to see in Barcelona, when you're short on time it's nearly impossible to do without an option like this. I got tons of great photos from the bus, and it gave us a great... more

I am normally not a tour bus girl as I prefer to be independent or fear the audio will be too long and boring--not this! It hits the major sites and the audio tour gave interesting bits of easily, real-time digestible information, interspersed with relaxing music. It's genuinely enjoyable to ride around on on a beautiful day between stops. It... more

We just got back from Barcleona on Sept 1, we took the bus our first day there just to see the sights and figure out what we wanted to do during our vacation. We had no problems. Never waited more than 5 minutes for a bus and didn't find over crowding to be a problem. We liked it so much... more

We purchased tickets for this bus as we got off a cruise ship on a Wednesday in July 2009, with an empty bus clearly in sight. The representative then pointed us to another bus stop 100m away with a long line of people waiting. We then waited 45m to get on a bus out of the harbor area. At every... more

The Bus was a great way to see Barcelona in a day! Buy a two day pass to go back to the sites you would like to veiw from the inside. Friendly and helpful staff as well! more

Be aware that if you buy the two day option tickets the days of use have to be consecutive. Also, if you want to transfer from the blue route to the red route or board the red route at Placa de Catalunya the queue for sitting on the open top can be horrendous and slow moving. Two solutions - join... more

Appears to have terrible management that does not care about the quality of their service and a human resources department that just hires but does not screen or train its workers. To save money I imagine they do not run enough buses, so buses are often overcrowded and even bypass the stop points. Shame on Bus Turistic, resellers should not... more

Excellent.

I like to walk around a city, but with only two days in Barcelona it was just too spread out for that. These buses were great. Good value 27 euros for two days. They go everywhere and they appear very regularly. Never waited longer than 10 mins. Very efficient service. Beware of being told off though! Not allowed to go... more

I didn't find the staff very helpful, they were actually very rude. I lost my ticket and they recharged me the full amount. I would advise working out the metro, it's alot cheaper and if you know what you want to see you won't waste time looking a statues and houses you've no interest in. more
