What a beautiful cathedral! Loved being able to walk along the roof with views across the city. The virtual reality tour was fabulous. It's the first time we've experienced VR and found it superb! The cloisters were a very peaceful, relaxing way to end the experience. Definitely worth going to see. 👍
Buying tickets in advance makes entrance to cathedral very easy. The views from rooftop are spectacular. The beauty of the cathedral is amazing.
It was very nice, imteresting, story about cathedral and her parts, saints, about past , how it was build. It is unique experience. It is great to see what people and God can do togethet, what beauty can rise from human hands. Also 3D experience was special and the view from the roof.
I've been to several Catholic churches, but no other cathedral has a more magnificent energy than the Barcelona Cathedral. It was a place where I could feel the Gothic style as it is and have a reverent mind.
Cathedral is breathtaking and amazing!! It's better to have 1.5 with 2 hours to be totally lost at It's beauty!
The CATHEDRAL OF BARCELONA and the festive atmosphere in the square. The CATHEDRAL 1951 restaurant where we had lunch.

At the entrance the staff is very helpful and nice. There is a specific entrance for trolling (wheelchair/ babies etc). Place is clean. The toilet is by coins-I didn't have any so I went out to coffee shop 🤷. And still, I didn't forget to leave a donation.
The church was beautiful. The ticket process was easy. I wish the church had wifi so the audio app would have downloaded while there so i could have gotten the full experience
It is worth the visit, it is a beautiful structure. The sibida to the terrace gives magnificent views of the city and ae aiente quite safe despite the fact that I respect the heights. The cloister is very cool and the history of the geese is very curious.

It would be really nice if the tickets were directly included in the email, not as a link to "manage tickets". We went to the Cathedral of Barcelona, then we wanted to go to the rooftop, however, finding the tickets again turned out to be "mission impossible" taking several long minutes.
I didn't love it, couldn't get the audio guide to work, toilets were awful despite an extra cost (no soap, dryer doesn't stay on & nowhere to put bag apart from on the wet floor!! ) & no explanation why the geese were there. Pretty poor experience.
Barcelona Cathedral is an impressive building with fascinating architecture that impresses both from the outside and the inside. We particularly recommend climbing to the roof - the view over the old town is breathtaking and offers great photo opportunities. An absolute must when visiting Barcelona!

I have seen the cathedrals of Toledo, Seville, and Granada, but I was most impressed by the beauty of the stained glass and the sophisticated structure of this cathedral.
The location was exceptional and the reservation and access service was very good. No need to wait in line

Was really nice seeing the city in a short time. We did not want to go out because of the heat but saw a lot of major landmarks. One side of the bus did not have audio tourguide. Felt safe and comfortable. AC downstairs. Really easy buying the tickets through headout. Also for finding other things to do.
The whole package was just right, unfortunately we had the bad luck that we lost our bearings after the park and therefore couldn't find the bus stop. But apart from that everything was really great. I would book again.

I like the service most and team was very brilliant with the excellent communication. Keep that up in same passion. Will meet again for sure 😊😊 All the very best!
Booked the tickets online, which was fairly easy Then looking for a boarding stop This gave more problems, also because you don't know what they look like. So we went to grada familia to get on the bus. At first we were also wrong, but once we knew which buses and the staff explained the concept to us, our adventure could begin. Nice way of exploring the city with explanations in your own language about what you see along the way. And you can leave or re-enter the bus whenever you feel like it. This way you do not have to miss anything of Barcelona

We could literally get on and off as we liked. The commentary was informative and enabled us to decide which sights were best for us to actually visit. Definitely worth doing for us 👍
They are very well organized,as a schedule and for visiting and seeing all of Barcelona.

Barcelona is amazing place . Very convenient with children
Very good experience.....Staff was very friendly and co-operative-
Very good experience, the best way to see Valencia
Easy of use. Traffic was congested. More people should take the hop on hop off to prevent congestion!
Only had one day to explore Barcelona and this way you pick up the highlights nicely.

The good number of buses and their frequency, plus the information provided during the trip.
View original review in Spanish
Lots of sights to see, however, it would have been better to have more commentary and less music during the bus stop and traffic lights waiting times
You can never go wrong with this experience. Friendly staff and easy to move around the city. The app could improve. It was a little confusing to read the map to find the stops but I will use this service all over again.
Ticketing experience through head out was easy and hassle free. The buses are a bit older than the other tour company available but adequate and easy to use and visit all the right places . Audio could use an update but for the most part it worked
The actual idea of on/off hopping is great; to find the next bus stop, headout should have a link to e.g. Goggle Maps... sometimes it is really difficult to find the right bus stop! The tour with the "catamaran was disappointing... 1. because no catamaran and 2. completely without any explanations/instructions!!!

The reason for my 3 star rating: the bus waited at each stop for quite a long time. Not sure if this is always how it goes or if this day was an anomaly, but sometimes we waited as much as 10 minutes in the mid-July intense heat and blazing Sun for the bus to continue the loop. This happened repeatedly.
Buying the tickets online was very convenient as I was able to save my euros for other things. We took the hop on and hop off green line in Barcelona and had an easy way of seeing a lot of the city. It was a hot day, so the bus ride on top was the best way to get a lot of the city in. My feet really appreciated the ride. Ps. We only had one day and a half in Barcelona, so this was a great option to get in as much as we could.
First of all, the welcome was warm and the staff in the north were very friendly. I really liked the variety of places to visit. The weather was also beautiful that day, the perfect combo for an excellent visit.

One bus was old: hard to operate the audio system. The air conditioning functioned poorly on two busses. The staff were very polite and helpful.
Very easy to access the buses and convenient to see various sites. We had hot weather so it was nice to get to jump on an off to give our legs a rest and get shuttled somewhere else.
I loved how convenient the drop off locations we're to major attractions. The app could be improved by providing addresses of where the pickup/drop off locations are located at. Initially when looking for the pick up location it was difficult to locate where we were supposed to go. It took us some time to figure out but after that it was great.
Was a great idea to see the high lights But the times didnt always match up where the location was and the plug ins did not always work.. cutting in and out

Located right next to the Barcelona Cathedral and easily accessible from the cathedral floor, is the cloister. It was built much later than the cathedral, sometime in the 14th century, and is considered just as beautiful, if not more. It is loved for the charming courtyard with tall palm trees; a refreshing change of scenery in the Gothic Quarter. Here, you also get to see the 13 geese bathing in the Well of the Geese. The geese are believed to represent the age at which Saint Eulalia was martyred. It is also one of the only places to host Barcelona's most striking tradition of 'Ou com Balla' or dancing egg.
One of the most magnificent sights and significant sculpture works inside Barcelona Cathedral is that of the choir or choir seats that date back to the 14th and 15th centuries. Built in the Catalan Gothic style, its canopies and pinnacles were made by the sculptor Michael Lochner and his disciple Johan Friedrich at the end of the 15th century. Having preserved its charm as is, on these seats you see the details such as the coats-of-arms of the knights of the Order of the Golden Fleece which were painted on the backs of all the choir seats.
Gothic Barcelona Cathedral has a small museum too, that is located under the gallery of the cloister next to the chapel dedicated to Saint Lucia. The museum does not have too many artefacts on display. However, the few works here are considered to be of great importance, like the works of Spanish gothic painter Bartolomé Bermejo. You will also find the terracotta sculpture of Saint Eulalia by Anthony Claperós, and paintings of Saint Bernardino and the Guardian Angel. Another significant piece is the monstrance, from the late-14th century, made up from the campaign throne of King Martin the Humane.
The Chapel of Lepanto was built as a small chapterhouse or place to hold meetings. It is considered special because it holds an unusual crucifix known as the Holy Christ of Lepanto. The crucifix is famous for its slanted shape, which according to legend occurred when it was aboard a royal ship under the attack of a cannonball fire. It is believed that the crucifix miraculously leaned to the side on its own to avoid the fire and has stayed slanted that way since. Another story says the cross was in the ship and was moved to cover a large hole that would've sunk the ship.
To enjoy spectacular views of the city of Barcelona take the elevator up to the rooftops from the Barcelona Cathedral. It can be accessed through the chapel of Innocent Saints. This is an especially good idea if you're on a time-crunch, you'll only have to pay a small fee to use the lift. Once here, you get to take in the views of central Barcelona and some of the well-known parts of the city like the two bell towers, the two lateral pinnacles, the cimborio crowned by the Holy Cross, the cloister and just a beautiful panoramic view of Barcelona.
Duration: 2 hours
Best time to visit would be during the weekdays. Visit between 5 PM to 6 PM to witness the sunset and enjoy the dreamy views of the sunlight shining through the intricate stained glass of the Cathedral. 9 AM on Mondays would be the quietest slot of the week.
