If you are looking to pay 600 dollars for a two and half hour drive around town, a non English speaking driver and an extremely rude company owner then this tour is for you. Our driver was a very nice man but unfortunately spoke little English. My brother in-law had to try to get a little English out of him and took over the Mic to explain if anything at all. We were the tour guides trying to figure things out for $600 bucks! It’s a ride and not a tour. For starters the description of the tour is FALSE. If you plan on seeing the top attractions in Barcelona which includes the Park Guell ( which by the way is listed in this tour’s ad) then forget it. When I asked why we have not been taken there yet, I was told it’s because we needed to pay more money to reserve space at the park to drive in. Mind you it is already listed as part of the tour. The tour skipped important attractions which was the main point. My family and I were excited to tour Barcelona and we were so disappointed that we paid for a 4 hour which took two hours and very little to nothing to see. When the rather polite driver called the company for us to speak to the manager, he was beyond rude and said “ do whatever you want , we don’t care” Please save your money and the disappointment. I am reaching out to Amex for my refund ASAP. This tour should not be an Viator.Read less Read more about - Barcelona Private City Tour (1 to 16 passengers) - https://www.viator.com/tours/Barcelona/Barcelona-city-tour-4-hours-private-visit/d562-252668P1?mcid=56757
Dear Climber, Thank you for your feedback. While we respect all reviews, we must firmly clarify the facts and correct several inaccuracies in your statement, as our service strictly adhered to the conditions you accepted upon booking through Viator. Language and Tour Nature: The description of this activity on Viator explicitly states that the service is strictly in Spanish. It is listed under the transportation category as a "Minibus with Driver," not a guided tour. By strict local regulations in Barcelona, professional drivers are legally prohibited from acting as tour guides or giving historical explanations. For that service, clients must hire an official licensed tour guide separately. Park Güell and Local Regulations: Park Güell is indeed listed as a point of interest on the panoramic itinerary, but the booking clearly specifies that tickets and parking fees are NOT included. Barcelona's strict municipal law (Zona Bus) strictly prohibits any minibus from entering or parking at Park Güell if the passengers do not hold pre-purchased official admission tickets. Since your group did not have tickets, it was physically and legally impossible for the driver to enter the premises. Duration of the Service: The service was booked and available for the contracted time. However, after the explanation regarding the Park Güell municipal restrictions and the scope of the driver's duties, your group decided to terminate the service early. A service cut short by the client's own decision cannot be attributed to the company. The Telephone Conversation: The person you spoke with over the phone was a representative of a trusted local partner company handling the service that day. While we sincerely apologize if there was a misunderstanding or a communication barrier due to the language gap, at no point was there an intention to be dismissive. They simply stated that we could not bypass the city's legal transit laws or the Viator contract terms. Pricing Clarification: Please note that the 600 USD you paid is the final price set by and paid directly to Viator, which includes their platform commissions and fees. Our actual transport rate as a local operator is considerably lower and strictly reflects the costs of providing a professional vehicle, fuel, and an experienced driver for the contracted hours. We delivered the exact professional transport service, vehicle, and polite driver that you paid for. We regret that you did not read the inclusion and exclusion policies before booking, but we cannot accept defamation or accusations of a "scam" for complying with the law and the contract. Sincerely,Customer Service Team
