          The Best of Barcelona
          Our tour guide, Hugo, picked up my wife and I from our Hotel as pre-arranged. He went over our itinerary for the day and assured us that we could make any changes that we desired. He showed us the best spots; Montserrat, Park Guell, LA Sagrada Familia, and on and on. He took us to a nice place to eat, arranged for a table, and even ordered for us. It was a wonderful day! We never could have seen all of those sites on our own. Thanks again!

          Barcelona and Montserrat
          We had a private tour for our family of 3. Christian was our guide/driver and he was amazing! Well planned out and full of fun activities. We were driven around in a very nice and comfortable vehicle. The tour accommodated our needs and catered to what we wanted to see. It was amazing and would definitely do it again.

          Amazing
          I am a travel Agent and I took a group of 12 people on a cruise. We couldn't check into a hotel at 9am so I decided to book a tour through Barcelona day tours to kill some time. It was amazing and our guide was wonderful.They picked us up from the cruise terminal, then we headed to Tarragona. Along the way we stopped at the Roman aquaducts and our guide was very knowledgable on the history of the area. After spending some time in Tarragona we asked him to take us to a local restaurant. He stayed with us and helped translate and make suggestions on the local cuisine. It was an amazing restaurant right on the beach in Altafulla. After a delicious lunch we proceeded along the coast stopping at picturesque area's like Sitges and plenty of photo ops. Then he took us directly to our hotel. I can't say enough about the guide and this company. They were courteous, knowledgable and prompt. Well worth it and will recommend to my clients.

          This truly is the best tour. Licensed and professional and AMAZING!
          We had an incredible experience with Barcelona Day Tours on our all-encompassing tour of Montserrat and Barcelona in December 2024! Our guide, Christian, was absolutely fabulous—knowledgeable, engaging, and made every moment unforgettable. The sights were breathtaking, and we loved our delicious lunch. It was a perfect day, and we can't wait to return to explore more with them. Highly recommend! 🌟

          Barcelona Day Tour
          We had an enjoyable trip. The guide, Xavier, was fantastic as he is knowledgable and made the guidable tours very insightful. He also interacted well with my kids who are 12 and 11 and could engage them too. The driver/guide were also on time in the morning. They were able to accommodate our schedule and the driver, Mark, was a safe driver and took care of us throughout the time. My husband and I were so glad we booked the tour with you. Really helped us understand this beautiful city and people better. We hope to come back to Barcelona again!

          Recommend the Full Day Private Tour
          We would highly recommend Barcelona Day Tours and will look to do another with them when we come back. Our tour guide Anna and driver (sorry forget his name) were excellent. Her eye for detail and her ability to communicate all the deep history, was fantastic. Like most of these tours, you never have enough time, but we were able to see many of the must sees as well as some local flavor without feeling rushed. Anna made us feel not like a customer, but more a feeling of sharing a day with a close friend that was pridefully showing off her wonderful hometown. While I do not have a great eye or feel for art, Anna was able to bring out details to me in an informative and relatable way that made the experience even more enjoyable. Juana and team were easy to work with setting up the tour and communicating/coordinating all the logistics. Just a pleasurable experience all the way around.

          A great way to end a holiday
          My wife and I had an excellent day. Christian picked us up for our cruise ship, took us to Montserrat and a winery, with a lunch squeezed in, and then made sure we got the airport in time for our flight home. He was a great driver and guide. Montserrat was spectacular despite a foggy start, and Santiago, at the winery, exuded passion. Communication with the tour company was excellent throughout.

          Spain Day Tours was excellent. Picked us up at our hotel on time and gave us a great 4-hour private tour. Spent as much time at Sagrada Familia as we wanted, plus other interesting stops. Olan was quick to answer all my email questions quickly as well. Highly recommend this company.

          Best tour guide
          We used Barcelona Day Tours to tour Barcelona in the convenience of a private car. We needed to spend the time between the cruise drop off and hotel checkin wisely and this was the best. Christian was our guide and was just amazing with a ton of knowledge and good english speaking skills. We got to see all the sights and also eat lunch at a great restaurant before heading to the airport. Highly recommend using them when in Spain.

          First time in Barcelona? Book a tour with Barcelona Day Tours!
          We booked the Montserrat half day guided tour with airport pickup. Communication with Dory about our booking and payment was excellent and correctly indicated that Barcelona Day Tours is a well-run operation. We are nervous travelers, but our driver João was so personable, helpful, and knowledgeable, we had a worry-free day! It was easy to find him in the airport, and we could just sit back and relax after that. He was a terrific driver, guide and conversationalist. Montserrat did not go exactly to plan as an unscheduled mass and a downpour limited what we could see in the basilica and outside, but we were happy with our visit and it was all good in the end. We also really appreciated João's city tour and his recommendations for food near our hotel. (The tapas kept us going so we could make it to La Sagrada Familia on our own in the evening.) We absolutely would not hesitate to book again with Barcelona Day Tours. Highest recommendation!

          Med Cruisers Best Friend Tour Company
          We've booked over 8 tours with Barcelona | Spain Day tours over the past several years and I'd highly recommend booking with this company for their responsive customer service; tour options and the quality of their tours. They have been amazingly easy to work with and all the tour experiences have met our expectations, if not exceeded them. I like that there are many types of tour options and we've tried them all - 1. on-cruise large group 2. on-cruise small group 3. post cruise private tours 4. hotel to airport transfers. The large group tours have been extremely informative, but very busy with limited free time, so they are great if you have a short amount of time and want to learn a lot and see as much as possible. The small group tours afford you a bit more free time and allow the opportunity to get to make friends on the tour while still providing a detailed amount of information. The private tours offer a personalized touch, are highly flexible and the guides have all been 5 star. The transfers have also been wonderful - clean cars, safe drivers and most of the drivers have provided more information so it is like a mini tour. We've also booked through their partner company - Italy Day Tours and have had an equally as good experience. If you are taking a Med cruise, I'd recommend booking shore excursions through these companies as it makes planning easy and they are less busy | crowded than a ship excursion. Most recently we did a Lisbon 1/2 Day City tour and an airport transfer. Both great!

        This is the first stop of our Mediterranean cruise tour and we really enjoyed the Barcelona city tour. The tour guide is very nice and knowledgeable. She accompanied us all the way and provided detailed information about the city and historic sites. Many thanks to the optimum arrangement, which saved us a lot of time on buying tickets and waiting traffic. This is very helpful for first time visitors or people not familiar to the city. We were picked up by a taxi for free from hotel in the morning, to join another group at the shore in order to start the tour on time, and dropped off to the cruise port at 2 pm as planned. Overall, the services provided by Barcelona Day Tours are excellent, exceeding our expectations.

        I found our tour guide to be excellent. She explained everything very clearly and was very informative. After Park Guell we went to Sagrada Familia. We had bought tickets to go into the church which came with an audio guide. The church is lovely inside, however, over half the audio was exactly what our guide said on the outside so it really isn't necessary to go in. You get just as much if not more information from the guide.

        Traffic was an issue during our tour, due to a holiday. Our guide,Paula, was excellent. It was difficult to see some sights from the bus, but we did have one opportunity to leave the bus to look over Barcelona before entering Park Guell. Paula’s description of Park Guell was very informative and the Park is so beautiful. Visitors should be aware that there are many steps and inclines in the park. Paula described the outside of La Familia Sagrada, pointing out sculptures on the facades. She did walk very quickly, making it difficult for some of the group to keep up. In all, we thought it was an excursion well worth the price.

        We had a wonderful time in Barcelona, we were very happy with the tour, transport and length of tour.

        Marta our guide was exceptional she was incredibly informative and gave us so much insight to the culture and community of the Catalan people. We had a few tours in Italy and Marta was our favourite guide from all the tour we had taken. She definitely deserves a pay rise!

        Hoare our driver was lovely, he kept the tour on track and was incredibly helpful with the logistics of drop off and the airport etc.

        I wouldn’t hesitate to book with your company again and will recommend to our friends/family.

        Don't get caught in the taxi line at the Barcelona cruise port! Book a tour with Spain Day Tours. They pick you up at the port (right outside the door) and store your luggage in the bus while on the tour, then drop you off at your hotel or other destination. Our guide was very knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. Prices are very reasonable. Their staff pre and post tour has been very helpful as well. I would highly recommend this company

        We really enjoyed this tour and our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. She stayed with us at all of the site and gave us the history of what we were seeing. I recommend this 1/2 day tour. We also bought tickets to Sagrada Familia and they dropped us off there and we got a taxi home. I received reimbursement for the taxi within 3 days. The van we went is was new and comfortable with big windows. There were only 3 couple on the tour.

        We toured Park Guell first. The tour was informative and complete. Even though it was a holiday, our guide was able to keep the group together in the crowded park. From there, we went downtown to view the facade of la Sagrada Familia basilica. Again, even though there we’re lots of people out and about on the holiday, Trini the tour guide was able to be understood by all. She was well informed and very pleasant, speaking to each participant as we walked along. Great job!

        This was a terrific tour to start my visit in Barcelona. I had done a transatlantic cruise
        and was picked up at the port right on time. There were 12 people in our tour which is so much nicer than the bigger tour bus. Joseph did a great job of showing us the highlights. Most of the walking is done at Park Guell, which is a must. I did the four hour tour which was just the right amount of time for me. After the tour was done I was dropped off at my hotel. As a first time solo traveler to Barcelona it was great to know that I was being picked up at the cruise port and being dropped off at the hotel. I enjoyed the tour so much I reached out to book another tour but they were fully booked. So I recommend that you book what you want now so you won't be disappointed.

        Dear Tracey, We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour! Thank you for mentioning that we picked you up from the port and dropped you off at the hotel after the tour. We always pick up our guests and take them to wherever they need to go at the end of the tour. We’re glad that you enjoyed the small group tour. We like to keep our tours as small group excursions, which make the visit more personal. We believe this allows our guests to have a better experience than that of the big bus tours. We wish you many more wonderful tours to come and it was our pleasure to welcome you in Spain. BarcelonaDayTours
