The best bus tour in Barcelona has more than a thousand 5-star reviews :

geoffreyl82

Excellent service

Friendly staff, freely gave advice and information. We did both green and red routes, two day pass. The city is very spread out so able to see whole, and visit the points of main interest to us. The bus was on time and the audio was most helpful and very clear. We would recommend the bus tour.

Hernandez1697  

In Barcelona, this is the best way to visit

1st time in this kind of tour. But is the best decision in Barcelona. All the attractions are far from each other and this is the best way to get there; or you can pay an expensive taxi. We saw all Barcelona. Next time we will enter to some places, but we were satisfied.

Great and safe way to see a city

I do this is most big cities I visit. Get a real feel of a city on an open top bus. The smells and the sounds. Hop on and hop off where you want. There are so many of these buses that you aren’t kept waiting very long

These reviews have been published in the official public profile of Barcelona City Tour at TripAdvisor.

Best Barcelona bus tours

1.  hop-on hop-off bus tour.

Discover the ancient, medieval and modern sights of Barcelona on this convenient city sightseeing hop-on-hop-off tour. With one-day or two-day passes available, travel by open-top, double-decker bus along three routes to visit major attractions, including the Sagrada Família , the Gothic Quarter, Park Güell , the Picasso Museum and Ciutadella park . Customise your own itinerary and get on and off as you please at more than 44 stops around town. Plus you get a booklet with discount coupons to attractions, restaurants and more.

2.  24 or 48-Hour Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Take your time taking in the city. Barcelona has much to offer those willing to explore it, so you can choose a one or two-day hop-on-hop-off bus ticket. With two interconnected routes, this tour is the easiest way to get around Barcelona and see all the sights. Climb atop the double-decker (which has a cover in the event of rain) and look out at the Sagrada Família , Port Olímpic beachfront promenade and even stop at Parc Güell , a garden complex and UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

3.  Costa Brava Day Tour

On this half-day trip you'll visit the Girona coast, christened 100 years ago as the Costa Brava . The name is due to its unique rocky and rugged coastline, composed of small coves surrounded by pine forests. Natural wealth and beauty is apparent in several territories and protected areas, such as Cap de Creus , the Empordà Marshes and the Marine Reserve Medes islands. This area has historically been a point of entry, transit and settlement for different cultures and civilisations, and each has left its footprints.

4.  3 Countries in 1 Day Small-Group Tour

If it's Tuesday, it must be Barcelona. Or  Ax-les-Thermes in France. Or Andorra la Vella. Be sure to pack your passport for a full 12-hour day travelling on a comfortable coach through three countries. Before crossing the border into France, you stop to explore a medieval Catalan village, and then it's into the beautiful French spa town of Ax-les-Thermes to discover the healing waters and local artisan shops. Next you cruise through the stunning Pyrenees ( Instagram moments abound!) on the way to Andorra la Vella, renowned for tax-free bargains before heading back to Barcelona.

5.  Hop-On Hop-Off Bus with Eco Catamaran Cruise

Take your time to soak up the sights with this one or two-day bus tour and catamaran cruise along the Barcelona Coast. Hop on and off as you please as you're taken around the top attractions from FC Barcelona stadium to the National Museum of Art of Catalonia. You'll then be setting sail from Port Vell for the water-bound portion of the tour, where you'll be able to admire the World Trade Center, the largest yachts in the city and more.
