Barcelona Hop-on Hop Off Tour: East to West Route
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

the two routes available cover a wide area so these tours are great to really see the main sites in an organized way. Each route takes several hours so it's not a quick way of getting around if you want to use it more to take you to just a few places. The buses were very crowded on the weekend so you had to wait extra long if you wanted a seat on the top level.

Skip the Line: Barcelona Sagrada Familia Tickets
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

despite this being a "skip the line" tour, we had to wait over 30 minutes for our tour guide to stand in line for tickets. our guide was very knowledgable, but repeated everything in english and spanish so it took twice as long. it would have been much better if this was an english only tour as only 2 of the 15 people on the tour needed the spanish.

Small-Group Mediterranean Sea Sailing Trip from Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

This was a fun experience and our tour guide, Adrien, was excellent. We had very choppy water the day of our tour so it was too rough to swim but the boat was nice, refreshments were offered and the views were great!!

We debated trying to tour Toledo on our own but the tour was a much better idea. The bus transportation was very comfy and the guide was knowledgable. Very interesting city!

Flamenco Show at Torres Bermejas
Madrid, Spain
My Rating

Great evening. The food and wine gave a very authentic feel to the night and the show was really energetic and entertaining. The room is beautiful. A lot of people left right after the dinner and main show but we hung around after as the entertainment continued.

Madrid City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Madrid, Spain
My Rating

A great way to see the main sites and get around. Madrid was pretty quiet in Aug so the buses were readily available as were seats on the top level.
