“This trip was so magical it felt surreal. The beauty of this place is like none other and the tour guides were absolutely amazing. They spent time with each and every individual, the price is well worth it they even stopped the bus for a young lady that had to use the restroom.

At the meeting point at 7 AM a family of four did not bring their passports and would not allow to come on the trip and the father got absolutely embarrassingly belligerent with the staff. They handle it very well I mean who doesn't bring a passport when you're visiting three different countries in a day??”
Skip the line to Barcelona Zoo in Parc de la Ciutadella and spend a day seeing 4,000 animals across 400 species.
“Barcelona Zoo offers a pleasant and family-friendly experience, though opinions may vary depending on expectations. The zoo is located in the heart of Parc de la Ciutadella, making it easily accessible and well connected to the city. One of its main advantages is the spacious and leafy environment, which provides plenty of shaded areas and open paths, making it comfortable to walk around even on warmer days. The enclosures are spread out in a way that allows visitors to explore without feeling overly crowded, though some areas could benefit from modernisation In terms of animal variety, the zoo presents a good balance of species, with mammals, reptiles, and birds on…”

Coach day trip from Barcelona to Ferrari Land and PortAventura Park with included tickets, Italy sets, and record coasters in one long day.
“It’s expensive but if you love theme/amusement parks, it’s worth it. I recommend buying an express pass in the summer months. We bought the Express 10 and used 9 of the rides. We didn’t bother with one because it was pretty lame. We hit the 3 big roller coasters and had to wait in line for Uncharted. We had to buy an express pass for Red Force in FerrariLand because they open at 4:30 and the wait time was well over 2 hours. We wouldn’t have been able to ride it and make it back to the bus. It’s the reason we went and the fast pass was ridiculously expensive.…”

“We are retired seniors on a one month road trip through southern Europe. We have booked 13 tours through Viator in 10 different cities. This was tour #6. We chose the train option from Barcelona to Montserrat, followed by the cable car to the top. We walked through the market, toured the monastery, saw the Madonna, and walked to the cross at a beautiful observation point. We enjoyed Monserrat but what set this tour apart from the previous 5 tours we took through Viator was our guide, Pau. Pau was very observant and accommodating of our physical and dietary limitations and made sure everything was perfect. He stayed with us…”
