About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- AGC3140 contributionsPerfect day tour of BarcelonaOur group of 38 adults and children had a FANTASTIC experience on our guided day tour of Barcelona. Elena and Marta were great with the group. The vehicles were spacious and comfortable. The tour proceeded like clockwork, with no snags along the way. They were so knowledgeable and kept the group engaged the entire day. We appreciated how seamlessly we entered Sagrada Familia and Parc de Guell without a wait. They made great suggestions for a lunch stop and hit so many major landmarks in the city. Working with Aurelio to book the tour was so easy and such a breeze. I appreciate how accommodating he was to our requests. The company also booked us tickets to a flamenco show, which was also a hit with the group and a welcome place to sit in the AC after a day of touring.Written July 20, 2024
- lzarcaro0 contributionsA Great Day in SpainWe had a beautiful day with Spain Day Tours visiting Montserrat and Barcelona Highlights. It was great from early morning all the way to the end of the tour. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Our guide was knowledgeable and very enjoyable. He gave us information about all of our stops and was quite enjoyable. The day was very scheduled out and both the bus driver and the guide did an excellent job of keeping everyone on schedule. Shoutouts to the office staff as well. They did an excellent job of communicating with me before booking, during the booking and after the tour was over. I highly recommend using the company Spain Day Tours. Lynne Zarcaro Cranston, RIWritten July 17, 2024
- cassie33750 contributionsBest way to see Barcelona highlights!This tour was a wonderful way to quickly see the highlights of Barcelona. Even if you will be in Barcelona long enough to explore further, it gives you a lay of the land. Communication leading up to our trip was great and we were picked up promptly from the port when we got off our cruise ship. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Even though it was not technically part of our tour, they also arranged for my group to get skip-the-line tickets to Sagrada Familia. Definitely recommend!Written July 15, 2024
- ckt750 contributionsFantastic day in Barcelona!Marta was exceptional - kind and so very informed and kept the flow of the day interesting. We learned SO much! Amongst the very best of tour guides!Written July 15, 2024
- Paradise403498757990 contributionsBarcelona has my heartGreat tour. Park Guell and La Familia did not disappoint. Our tour guide was amazing and the whole booking process a breeze.Written July 14, 2024
- sohia20240 contributionsOne day in BarcelonaThe Tour was really great. I wanted to say it was a great day thanks to OUR driver and guide Hugo. He picked up us on time in the morning, was very gentle and so knowledgeable as a guide as well as patient on his driving which made the whole day comfortable and fun. He answered all of our questions in more details and in a very interesting way so we could learn a lot about Spain as well. The sites were beautiful and his explanation helped us to enjoy each of where we visited. I also want to thank Mark who is from the tour company for organizing this tour so well and contact us when we had changes so we could clearly know what is going on. It was a great tour in a comfortable Van and the sites were great. I just had a misunderstanding that we will be visiting more places outside of van but we were passing by inside the van which I preferred to get out. I understand that is due to limited time though. I recommend this tour for anyone has a limited time in Barcelona to explore the city.Written July 14, 2024
- m1kat20 contributionsSuperBarcelona TourThe tour was great and a big thank you to Christian (The German), who made the tour more enjoyable. Christian was very Professional, Pleasant, Charming, Considerate, with a great knowledge of Barcelona History. We will definitely recommend your company to our friends and relatives for future tour. Best regardsWritten July 14, 2024
- suzanneg2490 contributionsFantastic day tour of Barcelona and MontserratThe Barcelona and Monsterrat tour was wonderful! I appreciated the hotel pickup, the organization, and all of the hints and information provided during the day! It was a perfect tour for me, as I had not been to Barcelona before. The ability to experience so much in one day was exactly what I was looking for.Written July 13, 2024
- M2405RFkellyk0 contributions1/2 day private tourWe had an amazing private tour/transfer from the airport with Hugo! He is an exceptional tour guide. He was enthusiastic, professional, and very informative. It was the perfect way to spend our first day in Barcelona.Written July 9, 2024
- fifi24Falkirk0 contributionsBarcelona Half Day TourWe were disembarking our Cruise but our flight wasn't till later in the day so we booked a half day tour with this company. Anna met us at the cruise port and showed us to our bus with our luggage. We toured a lot of the sights and also spent an hour and a half at Park Guell. Anna was so lovely and very informative of her home city. We were then dropped at the airport which was another reason we booked this knowing our luggage was safe in the bus and taking us straight to the airport. If im ever back in Barcelona in the future i would defo use Barcelona Tours. Anna is a credit to this companyWritten July 9, 2024
- sellwingri0 contributionsBarcelona Day TourOur tour was absolutely fabulous! Christian, our guide, took us everywhere in Barcelona-places there’s no way we would have found on our own. He knew everything about the city and he shared his knowledge with us. I used Barcelona Day Tours a few years ago and also had a wonderful tour. I highly recommend this company!Written July 7, 2024
- 942cecilys0 contributionsWonderful day in Barcelona!Wonderful tour guid and great tour! We enjoyed the morning before we headed to the port for a Mediterranean cruise. Barcelona is beautiful! I only wish that we had more time!Written July 4, 2024
- Chad H0 contributionsBarcelona & Montserrat in a DayWe were in Barcelona for a Western Mediterranean cruise in June 2024. We booked with Barcelona Day Tours months in advance of our cruise. The booking process & instructions were clear & easy to understand, including the pick up point. They full communicate via email & WhatsApp, so there is no confusion. On June 15, 2024, we took an all day tour of Barcelona & Montserrat and everything was perfect and just as promised. We were in an 8 passenger van. We had a driver & a guide, who spoke English and was very knowledgeable in everything related to Spain. We first visited Montserrat in the morning to avoid the late crowds in the afternoon. It was much cooler in the mountains, but very beautiful & peaceful. We had about an hour to visit on our own. You can enter the Cathedral, but you will not get to see the Black Madonna as that is an extra cost and a long line to wait in. After Montserrat, we left for Barcelona. We got an overview of the City and its views from different places. We did stop at La Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell. Major construction is still ongoing at La Sagrada Familia, so your pictures won’t be as dramatic, Parc Guell is very nice, but hot and crowded in the summer, so be prepared. All In all, this is a nice tour of Barcelona & Montserrat in a day and Barcelona Day tours delivered as promised and I highly recommend them.Written July 4, 2024
- Jsta20100 contributionsMontserrat & Cava private tourWe had a wonderful day visiting Montserrat and ArtCava winery. This was a full day private tour for 4 adults. The price was reasonable and well worth the tour! We were picked up from our hotel for the tour in a comfortable air conditioned van. Fabio was our driver and tour guide. He did a fantastic job sharing a lot of history about Barcelona and Montserrat. Montserrat was worth visiting and the views were amazing. It is hard to believe that the area was once under water and that the monks had to trek so far up the mountain. I’m sure it took weeks compared to the short drive today. I can’t imagine what it took to build the basilica, which was amazing. We viewed the Black Madonna in the basilica. There was the option to see her up close. The boys choir was not performing the day we visited although a friend told me that he visited when they sang and it was wonderful. Santiago was our host at ArtCava and did a splendid job explaining the grounds and the process of making cava. It was quite interesting to see. Of course after tasting we bought some bottles of Palago to enjoy later. I would highly recommend this tour and would use them again on my next trip to Spain!Written July 3, 2024
- the365worldtraveler0 contributionsExcellent Barcelona Tour for TwoMarta was great. She was super knowledgeable and passionate about her work. In addition to the major tourist sites, she took time to explain some of the overlooked, more nuanced locations and their history. I highly recommend this tour.Written July 3, 2024

We had an amazing time in Europe and especially Spain!
Barcelona is beautiful and one of the highlights of our trip! We had the most amazing day with our guide Bernat!! He is so knowledgeable, and gave us the best tour ever!! Words can't describe La Sagrada Familia! It truly is jaw dropping! I could have stayed there listening to Bernat for hours talking about the outside. The only thing that would have made it better is if we could have gotten to see the inside. I can only imagine what that would have been like. We also enjoyed passing by Casa Batllo and Casa Mila. I truly hope one day we can return and visit them inside as well. If that happens, we would want Bernat to be our guide again as he is definitely the best!!
Thank you again for everything!!

Our cruise ship disembarked in Barcelona and this was the perfect way to spend our day. We were traveling with a group of 8 including 3 seniors. Everything was taken care of - easy pick up from cruise port exit, luggage assistance, tour of the beautiful city of Barcelona with a talented driver and very kind tour guide, and drop off to our hotel. I highly recommend their services!!

We toured Park Guell first. The tour was informative and complete. Even though it was a holiday, our guide was able to keep the group together in the crowded park. From there, we went downtown to view the facade of la Sagrada Familia basilica. Again, even though there we’re lots of people out and about on the holiday, Trini the tour guide was able to be understood by all. She was well informed and very pleasant, speaking to each participant as we walked along. Great job!

Traffic was an issue during our tour, due to a holiday. Our guide,Paula, was excellent. It was difficult to see some sights from the bus, but we did have one opportunity to leave the bus to look over Barcelona before entering Park Guell. Paula’s description of Park Guell was very informative and the Park is so beautiful. Visitors should be aware that there are many steps and inclines in the park. Paula described the outside of La Familia Sagrada, pointing out sculptures on the facades. She did walk very quickly, making it difficult for some of the group to keep up. In all, we thought it was an excursion well worth the price.

do you Only pick up at 8:30 from cruise port? Our flight arrives 7:30 and do not know if we will be at the port by 8:30 a.m. Is it better to have a pick up at the airport? Do you do that?
Texasfriends
Prosper, TX1,811 contributions
Yes, I believe they will pick up most anywhere within reason. Go to their website and read all about it. You can specify airport I believe, and they will let you know. To me, the airport is not that far out of the way. Maybe there is a place to ask a question on their website.

I'm sure you can, they are not affiliated with the cruise lines in anyway (or at least not ours, Oceania). As accommodating as this company way, I imagine they will pick you up wherever you request.

Does this tour include La Sagrada Familia. church? I really want to go see this?
Texasfriends
Prosper, TX1,811 contributions
They took us to the outside of this church and we walked around the perimeter. When we got back to the hotel, we looked at the LaSagrada Familia website and booked our own tickets for the next afternoon. I don't think you need to go with a tour group; we saw everything we needed to see. It was beautiful. It was recommended to us to book either mid afternoon to late afternoon, as the crowds are less.....and they really were! The afternoon sun shined into the west windows and the colors were spectacular.

We discussed with the tour company via email ahead of time and we did an 8 hour tour. They were very accommodating and were willing to adjust the tour to our wants and needs and could do as long as we wanted. We did it as a shore excursion from a cruise so we would have done it longer if we had more time. I would tell them where you want to go and they were willing to change the plan on that he go depending on traffic and time ect. They were able to pre buy tickets to sagrada famillia and patch guel this saving a lot of time. Our guides were great and spoke English very well They gave tons of info!!!
