I seem to be all set with guides for tours off the ship except for Barcelona. I used the e-mail for Veronica(Ngaire's suggestion) but she never replied. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

More and more cities are using double-decker buses with open tops (London style).
Barcelona has two different routes. The fare is about 15 Euros for the whole day and the route map gives the main tourist sights. They are hop-on, hop-off buses. Ear pieces state the route and stops in various languages.
We spent an entire day and did not have time to see as much as we wanted. We were spoilt for choice !! No need for a guide. We will be there, again, in mid Sept.and see what we missed.

We used the hop on/hop off double decker bus that neviboy refers to when we were in Barcelona on our July Diamond cruise. It was a great way to see the sights and they even provided some information about the stops. You can't beat the price!

Thanks for the info, but I have a husband with me who has some difficulty walking so that a private car is going to be our best bet.

Try this company they are great. Charge about 40 EU for private car per hour for touring.
Http://www.barcelonataxi.com

We usually use the for transfers to airport or from airport to shipor hotel when we are in Barcelona, but they do the tours too.
P.S. even though they are called Barcelona Taxi they use Mercedes vans etc. so not a "taxi" company..
