Get directions adress was not among adresses on the list so I mailed help center and they answered me that is fault and I go on adress on the list. Everybody, in tourist center and in whole Barcelona are very kind and polite. We didn't see so much because we arrived later but free public transportation is great. We were in Picasso museum, Moco museum, Wox museum, Aquarium. Also, Sagrada Familia and Park Guell but not with this card. We were there 2 days at the end, but I went with 12y.o. son, for him is cheaper so it's ok price. No worry. We'll come back! Charming Barcelona!!!!

Save you time and money. Uber and taxis not always available. Plus buses / metro routes are well planned And you will save extra bucks if you are planning to visit some museums

So glad that we were able to get full access tickets. We took an uber from Paris and wanted to do the tour on our own timetable. It worked out perfect! It was a long day!

Excellent guide. I believe her name was Mariana? Best tour I have ever had. Thank you.
