Traveler reviews
Add more stops closer to Laquarium
Very misleading, I paid in full on line for Barcelona hop on and off with Laquarium. Got on one bus to aquarium was informed by driver to get off that bus and take second bus to Laquarium; was informed by second driver there would be an additional 10-15 walk after getting off bus to the Laquarium. After walking over 20 minutes, we finally arrived at Laquarium only to be informed that Barcelona staff didn’t give us the tickets to enter the Laquarium. I had to show via app that I paid for the Barcelona hop off and on plus aquarium.
Wonderful journey with Viator Love to do more in future
We took red route & green route tours Visit to Acquarium in Port Vell Ride on hop on & hop off green line was excellent .
Recommended! Well organized and nice staff
Incredibly nice experience. Cozy staff who took a picture of us when we got in, which we could later pay for if we wanted to take care of it. Very exciting to see, well arranged for those with any wheelchair needs and plenty of space if there is a lot of people present. Incredibly fun and nice experience
This was a great tour!
This was a great city to tour. So much to see and do. The architecture was amazing. The aquarium is really nice for families.
Saves walking
