We had a fantastic trip, it was brilliant to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel door. Carlos and Michael looked after us well, and made sure we knew everything required. The only thing I'd mention (which wasn't a problem for us), is you only get 2 hours 'free time' in Barcelona if doing the zoo as well, but we were suitably tired enough to fall asleep on the return journey anyway!

Theresa was absolutely fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and made the journey too and from Barcelona enjoyable. The zoo was a fantastic experience however the staff in the food hall were not very understanding to our SEN Childs needs. This made the experience very uncomfortable and quite distressing for Riley.

Unfortunately majority of the zoo was under renovation so it meant lots of the animals were unable to be seen properly or at all. The guide was lovely and friendly, even making the efforts to collect us directly when we were at the incorrect pickup location. however he rambled a lot on the bus in when giving information and would have been better with a script as I felt we missed lots of vital information. When booking this excursion it may be beneficial to add a map of pickup points.

A trip that was good value for money. Isobel our guide was extremely informative and funny! Free time was great, we visited the aquarium and the local area around it. The zoo was great! We had plenty of time and more to see everything and get food. Pick up times were prompt. Overall, a great day! Highly recommend!

It was good to have a mix of city and zoo time, amd felt just the right balance too of 2hrs city, 3hrs zoo (we made it up las ramblas and all around the zoo)

The guide staff were very good,the free time in Barcelona was good but didn't really have enough time fit much in before getting back for the zoo, the zoo was ok but its quite an old zoo and needs a bit of work on it,not many clear signs where to go

We thoroughly enjoyed our guide Mike on the bus this day. Very helpful, engaging and really helpful for his experiences of Barcelona which in turn lead us to a good 2 hours of free time with his guidance. The Zoo was great - although we didn't see it all in the 3 hours the animals we did was brilliant.

We was more prepared this holiday and got tickets for the aquarium the same day as the zoo, dropped off very close to aquarium, the tour guide (Michael) was amazing anything you wanted to know he answered, made everyone feel comfortable. We loved the zoo i personally felt it was a long time there, there isnt much shading and being a very hot day was tiring but all round worth a visit, well done Michael you are good at what you do keep up the good work

Free time in a shopping mall!! Nowhere near Las Ramblas or the large market which is Spain. Been there before and really disappointed not able to go as we were dropped off nowhere near. Told my family all about the market and they were really looking forward to it. Instead just rambled around a shopping mall wasting 2 hours. Very disappointed

Was superb... Everything was smooth, mike our tour guide was absolutely excellent.. only thing I thought would think to improve would be 1 extra hour in the zoo, as we found the last hour a bit of a rush to get round. But no complaints was an excellent day out and very well run

The tour guide on the bus was excellent, I think she was called Theresa and was from Reus. She was funny, confident and full of information. The zoo itself was a bit disappointing, quite run down and the facilities were poor. Only a small cafe and nowhere cool to sit, only outside seating. It was about 34 degrees in the blazing sun, we were as warm as the animals hiding in the bushes! The 'free time' description is very vague, I had no idea that meant free time before the zoo.

Best. Excursion. Ever.. It really does cover everything. Just the right amount of time at the Aquarium. You don't feel rushed, then onwards right up to the front gate of the Zoo. Rep was great, very knowledgeable and friendly. Everything happened right on time as well. Lovely coach, comfy and Air Con

The zoo was very good and the time to get around it app was too, we had a spare hour so we took a walk around the park to see the neptu which is gorgeous and the free time was 2 hours plenrly of time to walk around and explore or do shopping. Treasa the tour guide was amazing has a lot of facts on the history and some good jokes too and made the experience so much more entertaining and explained everything thoroughly so nothing was missed. Antonio the driver also good guy.

Didn’t get enough time to buy sandwiches etc or told where to buy food from before going as we where told on the coach that the food wasn’t great at the zoo and expensive it was a very hot day high 30s could have done the zoo in the morning when cooler rather than hottest point of the day could have done free time in Barcelona then

Not enough time at the zoo. Had to rush the second half. Although, lovely zoo . Too much free time in a part of barcelona where there wasn't much to do. The guide was excellent. Very informative. Although slightly behind on some information as she said we could see the dolphins at the zoo but they've not been at the zoo for 2 or 3 years. As the aquarium section of the zoo was shut down.
