Our guide JB started off well, later the walking tour went through unnecessary stops, of little significance. Recommended as it passes through hidden places of historic rio...

Good. However guides decision to change the itinerary from Corcavado in the morning to Sugarloaf was not good. Always one needs to do Corcavado, christ the redeemer in the morning for sunlight (otherwise it is against light)...and must to sugarloaf in the evening for evening sunset views....

Bus Turistic hop on hop off circuits are good, best being Blue line (for hostoric barcelona). My recommendation is to take Red line in the morning, hop off to blue line at Catalunia square by 3 pm, go off to Sagrada and Park Guel....that way lighting for photography would be great on all sights. Have the lunch break at Pobl Espanol. One suggestion: the online ticket which we buy should be redeemable at the bus itself rather than searching for tourist office. Otherwise it is worthwhile buying the ticket on the spot/at the bus....too cumbersome on a rainy morning, where you go in search of tourist office, whereas the bus turistic booths are all over the place!
