Best of Barcelona Shore Excursion and La Sagrada Familia. - We visited La Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, and Casa Mila at La Pedrera. We visited several parts of the city ( Gothic quarter and Born area) as well as multiple cathedrals. Our tour guide, Sergio, was the best: informative, knowledgeable, and added humor along the way. He constantly asked us what questions we had to ensure he was addressing our needs. I highly recommend Sergio as a great tour guide.

A great option if you only have one day in Barcelona! - This was my husband’s and my favorite stop on our cruise. The tour was very comprehensive and our guide, Sergio, was knowledgeable, funny, and made sure we had a safe way back to our ship on time. I didn’t know much about Gaudi’s work coming into Barcelona and I left with a great appreciation for what he was able to accomplish. Barcelona is beautiful and vast, and I felt like we got to see a lot with what little time we had there. I was a little apprehensive about doing a tour outside of the cruise line, but this was very well organized and a better option than what my cruise offered here. Thank you Sergio!

Great introduction to Barcelona! - Tour was fantastic! Our tour guide,Sergio, was the best!! He was very engaging and informative and took the time to take our photos and get them just right. We never felt rushed and had fun the entire time. The tour group size was manageable which led to all of our questions being answered. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona!

Our guide was incredibly insightful, pleasant, and fun—he had such a great energy and was full of fascinating knowledge about Barcelona’s history, culture, and architecture. He really made the experience special for everyone in our group.
The highlight, of course, was the Sagrada Familia. Seeing it in person was breathtaking—an absolute must-see. Skipping the line made a huge difference and gave us more time to truly take in the beauty and detail of Gaudí’s masterpiece.
The tour was well-paced, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Barcelona, especially if you're coming in on a cruise and want to make the most of your time!

Spectacular overview of Barcelona - We had Mel from Barcelona! She was fantastic! Her English was really great. She layed out the agenda and told us all what to expect. It was blazing hot outside but she did her best to keep us in the shade. Water and bathroom breaks were given and she was always checking on us for how we were feeling. This was an intense tour with 13,000 steps . She had a ton of information about all the sights. We learned so much more from her than we could have ever learned on our own. Mel has a plethora of rich culture and tradition . Thank you gor such a phenomenal experience!

A mandatory experience - The guide was very knowledgeable but we felt he needed to cut the patter as we were standing in rain and getting very cold. Skip the line didn’t mean walking through, it meant we were in a queue with several other groups in the rain. Not the tour operator’s fault, bad organisation by the facility. The familia Sagrada is magnificent and not to be missed!

Lost at cruise terminal- NO SHOW - Wasn’t picked up at cruise terminal as promised and paid for, also received a confirmation. Had to pay our own way 1.5 hrs late to meet up with another tour guide. Office was rude and not helpful.
I am requesting our money back for transportation from and to cruise trip $45 euros each way.
Tour guide didn’t care and we lost time on our tour
