My trip to Barcelona for four nights followed by a Mediterranean cruise is right around the corner.
I did not. have to ask as many questions as I did London to Lisbon.
I found my hotel thanks to recommendations on this site.
I asked about connecting airports but did not have to ask as many questions about air itself.
A member suggested that I take the hop on hop off bus which I still might do but I may also be signing up for the following day excursion with Spain Day Tours:
Personal pick-up at the start of the tour
* Touring in a new, comfortable and air-conditioned vehicle (Europe's best)
* High quality, accommodating, and personal service during the 8-hour tour which will visit all the main highlights of Barcelona and Montserrat
* If the group is up to 6 persons - a personal experience with an English speaking driver-guide in a minivan
* If the group is 7-12 persons – touring with a driver + English speaking expert guide in a van/mini-coach
* Discounted skip-the-line tickets to Park Guell - only 9 Euros with our special group rate! We highly recommend the visit inside as there won’t be much to see from outside and advance tickets can save hours of waiting!
* A drive up the Montserrat Mountain with a drop-off right at the entrance (no need to even partially walk up)
* Entry fee to Montserrat National Park is included
* Tickets to visit inside the mountain-top Basilica are included (subject to availability by the time you confirm)
* Personal drop-off at the end of the tour
The price of the small-group tour includes transportation, petrol, toll roads, parking, driver-guide or driver and guide, admission to the site of Montserrat, admission to the Basilica in Montserrat and all taxes. The price does not include the discounted ticket to Park Guell which we will buy in advance for you if you wish to join the group for the visit inside the park.
During the tour we will visit all the highlights in Barcelona (including the outside of La Sagrada Familia, Montjuic, National Palace, inside Park Guell, and more) as well as the famous site of Montserrat with its spectacular views and mountain-top Basilica (tickets included).
I have separately bought a ticket to go inside La Sagrada Familia another day.
I asked some questions about the ports I will be visiting and sites to see. All my excursions are booked. In Rome and Florence as well as one other port, I have signed up for excursions for persons who use a cane or walker.
My plans are to post some reviews as I go along assuming that I have decent wi fi.
And I got another injection for my arthritic knee. I think this one took. The Sketchers shoes also seem to be helping.
