I 1st want to commend you guys on a excellent job. I will be on a Med. cruise in 2 weeks (June 27). 1 stop Barelona. Cruise critic show a large amount of people on the cruise taking the Hop On Hop Off Tour. Would you recommend this tour in the end of June because of crowds. Is it worth the time and will we see anything? Any idea how long we will be waiting for a bus to HOHO. Thanks

The buses run regularly. I think the longest we waited was 20 minutes. If you miss one, catch the next. I recommend the HOHO one becuse you know you'll go to the popular attractions, and the bus drops you off at the location (or pretty close to it).
I think it will be crowded in the late morning thru afternoon before the shops close for lunch, so get there early (the next morning) if you're staying longer than a day.
I noticed Fattires has a bike tour of Barcelona. I wished I saw that 2 years ago... I would have taken that as well.

Luciano, almost everyone on your cruise will be taking the HOHO. We were in Barcelona in October 2005, and the crowds were very pleasant until a cruise ship arrived. The HOHO became packed. Nevertheless, it is an excellent way to see the city, and if the day is pleasant, riding on top is very enjoyable. You'll like Barcelona.
