Answers to the questions people ask before their first Barcelona helicopter flight — when to fly for the best light, what actually happens at check-in, and why Montserrat looks completely different from the air. Each guide links straight through to the tour it's talking about.
“Did the Barcelona Sky Tour with my sister and neither of us could stop talking about Sagrada Família from the air. Worth every euro of the €179.”

“Four of us split the Coast & Besós Tour and it worked out cheaper than four separate seats elsewhere, plus we had the aircraft to ourselves.”
