We recently returned from a Mediterranean cruise that started in Barcelona and ended in Athens. We arrived in Barcelona 3 days prior to our cruise and used Barcelona Day Tours exclusively. We can’t say enough about how wonderful they were. Our choice was to book as a private group, but I have no doubt that our experience would have been the same with their small group tours. My initial emails for information were answered immediately by Dory and she followed up with any questions we had. For our arrival we scheduled Montserrat with airport pick up and hotel drop off. Before we left the USA, we received an email that our driver would be there to meet us and they were monitoring our flight. On arrival we had a text from our driver/guide, Fabio that he was there to greet us and his exact location. It was like having a family friend greet us! We spent a wonderful day at Montserrat (even though we were jet lagged), making it in time to see the Boys Choir perform. Most importantly, our hotel was located on a pedestrian street within the Gothic area. Unless a vehicle has a special decal they are not allowed to drive down the street, however, Fabio had preplanned (and the company has the decal) so that we were able to be dropped off right at the door with all our luggage. The following day we explored on our own, but we had arranged Flamenco Show tickets through Barcelona Day Tours. Loved the show and food was good, but buffet set up was a little chaotic. The 3rd day Fabio again picked us up right outside the door of our hotel and took us on the ½ day Best of Barcelona tour. What an incredible guide! His knowledge of Barcelona and its history made it come alive for us. We sadly said goodbye at Sagrada Familia and made our way back to the hotel by taxi. All of my tickets (skip the line) were pre-arranged through Barcelona Day Tours. We honestly cannot say enough good things about our experience and highly recommend Barcelona Day Tours. We left feeling we had made new friends!

Tickets are now available through October 31, 2024.

Thank you FionaMG!

Traveling in June 2024 with a group of 6, ranging in age from 16-76. We will be in Barcelona 3 nights pre cruise. We don't need "fancy," just clean, comfortable and convenient to walking/transportation. Looking to book 3 rooms. Really don't want to do an AirBnB as I think we need a little separation😁. Hotel Lleo, Hotel Atlantis & Hotel Continental Barcelona are all within in our price range and seem to meet our needs. Which would you choose or does anyone have another recommendation? Thank you for your help!
