Private Barcelona shore excursions vs cruise line tours
Cruise lines sell their own tours, usually by coach and priced per person. Private Barcelona shore excursions work differently:
| Private shore excursion | Typical ship coach tour | |
|---|---|---|
| Group | Only your group | Up to a full coach |
| Price | Per group, so it suits families | Per person |
| Pace | You decide the stops | Fixed schedule |
| Pickup | At your cruise terminal | At the terminal |
| Changes on the day | Possible | Not possible |
How we keep you on time
Before the day, we check your ship’s docking and all-aboard times and build the route with a comfortable margin that we agree with you. On the day, your driver keeps an eye on traffic and adjusts the stops if needed. Your ship’s schedule is listed by your cruise line and on the Port of Barcelona website.
