Kathleen_F, May 2024
Great tour. Helicopter alone worth it. Great walking tour. Guide was full of knowledge & interesting. Ran out of time for boat cruise.
Not a great 4 hour tour!
Pam_C, May 2024
We were super excited about this unique tour. Combine foot, air and water. And sadly it just didn’t live up to the expectations or excitement. The walking part was quite a distance and that wasn’t clear in the description. Plus with 16 people walking during prime time of day it was difficult to keep up and get any information on the “stops”. So this was not very exciting or informative. Our tour guide was nice. And I don’t want to fault him too much bc he is given the 16 people! First and foremost that was the biggest issue. 16 is not the right number for this tour! When it came time to helicopter there was a timeline and we failed it- but mostly bc it took 3 trips to get everyone where they needed to go by taxi. And the helicopter only held 3 at a time. 16 is not divisible by 3!!! So my hubby and I had to separate. It was truly 6 minutes and good experience- but the tour can’t be all about 6 minutes. It is 4 hour tour! Then sadly bc of timing 4 of us missed the 6pm boat. By 5 mins! It’s not a private charter for our group- it’s a public catamaran holding like 100 people. The next ride was 645- putting our tour end time at 745pm and that wouldn’t work with our scheduled evening plans. We were able to get an open tix and try to find another time- but that was not ideal. We had a packed schedule for our vacation. Plus we had met some cool people and wasn’t even able to say goodbye, exchange info or enjoy the boat ride with new friends. We did find the time to ride the boat- but it’s the exact route the helicopter took. So wasn’t really anything new- just on water. And they didn’t serve adult beverages!!! I can’t recommend this tour. I’ve had much better and this one missed the mark in logistics and timing.

We're truly disappointed to learn that your unique tour experience didn't meet the excitement and expectations you had anticipated. It's disheartening to hear about the challenges you encountered throughout the day, from the unexpected distances during the walking portion to the logistical difficulties with group size and timing constraints. Clearly, the issues you faced, such as the struggle to maintain engagement and receive information during the tour, and the inconvenience of separating from your group during the helicopter ride, greatly impacted your overall enjoyment. We sincerely apologize for the frustrations you experienced, as well as the missed opportunity to bid farewell to newfound friends and the lack of adult beverages on the boat ride. Your feedback regarding the need for clearer descriptions, smaller group sizes, and better logistical planning is invaluable to us. We genuinely appreciate your honesty and will use your comments to reassess and enhance our tour operations to ensure a smoother and more fulfilling experience for all our guests in the future. If you have any additional concerns or if there's anything else we can do to address your experience, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. We value your perspective and hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a more enjoyable experience in the future.
A Fun Land, Sea and Air Tour of Barcelona
Martin_C, Apr 2024
The tour guide was very well versed and presented so many interesting stops and facts. Her ability to move us on the walking tour, helicopter and then boat ride was well done. I appreciated her care for those on the tour. The insights and information was very well received.
Book each section separately yourself
William_C, Mar 2024
Walking section of the tour we took in a few sights and interesting locations but was fairly standard. Taxi then to the heliport and after alot of waiting we took our flight which was great. We then missed our scduked boat tour but we're given an open ticket. The boat tour itself was rubbish. Not really a tour as such just a ride along the coast and port with no comms. Over all I would probably separate this out yourself as guide didn't join you on the boat or the helicopter which you could book separately and there are better walking and cycling tours of the city.
To be the first time, it was excellent
Erick_B, Mar 2024

Up Up and Away
Clive_B, Mar 2024
The guide was very good. The whole experience was awesome. Would go again. Next time the 12 minute flight.
Great experience great staff
Seth_L, Mar 2024
Booked this trip due to high ratings, it was a good experience for a day I didn’t get the persons name that was texting to check we could attend, but they were very friendly! Mirko (who you spend the day with) is very friendly and gave us a walking tour of the city taxi ride to the heli pad, and a taxi to the boat Only con is missing the timing for the upgraded boat, if you have any upgrades tell Mirko at the start of the day as you may need to go first on the helicopter or taxi around earlier
Adventurous
Rose_C, Feb 2024
Guides were great and very considerate. It was a good walking tour, helicopter was short sweet and fun, and the boat was a beautiful experience. Good drinks and great views
Nice tour
Amina_H, Feb 2024
Walking tour with Han was nice, he gave us lots of details about Narcelona, Gaudi and other relevant things. He is very thoughtful and willing to assist. Helicopter ride was also very nice. The boat ride I would skip next time.
Unforgettable experience

Lesley_N, Nov 2023
The tour guide was incredible. Very informative, took this time speaking, so everybody understood him. Enjoyed the walking tour immensely. Helicopter tour was amazing also.
Was much less then advertised…
Randy_K, Oct 2023
The walking tour was great, the tour guide Lucas was great. He was well informed on the history and architecture of Barcelona. But the it went down hill from there. We had to wait for a taxi to take us to the helicopter it was disorganized and we spent a lot of time just waiting around. The helicopter ride was simply a run up and down the beach, it was not over the city…6 minutes was to be the ride time, at 100 miles an hour you can cover a lot of ground. I don’t think we were in the air that long and they must have included the load and unload time, not worth the money. Then back into the cab and off to the Catamaran oops… its wasn’t a catamaran that was simply the name of the boat. There was nothing special or semi private about a boat load of tourists sitting shoulder to shoulder. In the end the day dragged out so long we got off the boat as it simply was going to take you back up the beach that you had just flown over..it was an extremely long day and not much to see after the walking tour. My advice if you want a walking tour book one. If you want to take a helicopter ride book that and if you’re interested in going sailing. Book a sunset sail tour. The best part of the day was the walking tour and Lucas was amazing…

Great day
Lisa_H, Oct 2023
I have mobility problems and the walk was 2 hours long, I asked if I could meet at pier for the boat ride and the guide said yes, I could do that. He looked for me at the pier and we completed the helicopter and boat ride. The flight was awesome, the boat ride was too long
Accomplished a lot in 4 hours
Kim_E, Oct 2023
The walking portion covered a lot in both old and new Barcelona and was very interesting, we did not know however that it was going to be 2 hours. The taxi to get to the helicopter had to be done in 2 batches, not all as 1 group. The ride itself was too short and we were not able to ride together. The boat was nice, however we had to line up with the general public and did not get priority seating. When the excursion was over we were not brought back to our original meeting point. The adventure was good but knowing more specific details would have been appreciated
Response from Host, Oct 2023

Unreliable
Sam_M, Sep 2023
Got refused entry on the helicopter. Was promised a refund and still haven’t had one. Basically paid £300 for me and my friend to be walked around and shown buildings that we have already seen. Booked for helicopter and never got helicopter.

Saul_K, Aug 2023
Excellent tour and the helicopter was a highlight The kids (aged 15,22 and 25) all enjoyed it Heli ride was a little quick and only went over the coast and didn’t go inland as advertised but was very enjoyable
Waste of time and money
Dr_E, Aug 2023
The walking tour was hurried, food and snacks are NOT included, guide wasn’t accommodating, helicopter ride is like 2 minutes, you have to pay an exhorbitant fee if you are over the weight limit, didn’t do boat ride because we were over it. Do not recommend!!
