Important information

What you should know

  • Please check your email the day before the tour to receive important information.
  • Please note that the number of attractions depends on the option selected. Private transfers are not included in a 2,5-hour tour.
  • Skip-the-line tickets to Montjuïc Castle are reserved for a specific time slot, so it’s important to arrive at the meeting point on time. You will save time by skipping the line at the ticket office.
  • The 3,5-hour option includes an estimated 1-hour round-trip transfer between the meeting point and the accommodation address provided when booking. Please note that the transfer time quoted is for information purposes only and can take longer or shorter depending on the distance and traffic.
  • Private transfers include pickup and drop-off at your accommodation in Barcelona. We will arrange private transfers in a standard car (sedan) for groups of 1-4 people, and in a larger van for groups of 5 people and more. If you’re traveling in a smaller group but want to travel in a more spacious car, we recommend booking a 5-people tour to take advantage of a larger vehicle.
  • Due to the castle’s rules, 1 licensed guide can show a group of 1-5 people, so the price of the tour will be higher if you need more than 1 guide.
