Guide was good. Easy riding on ebike. Went to plenty of places. Good value for the money. Bikes were good.

You’re gonna be fried at the end of this tour but still worthy. I will definitely do this again when I come back or whenever I visit other cities.
Tim_S, Jul 2026
Perfect way to see gothic quarter & get an overview of the city without sitting on a hot bus. Small group of about 10 people & our guide, Leo, was terrific. He kept a leisurely pace while keeping everyone safe with entertaining historical commentary along the way.
Highly recommend this tour for first timers to Barcelona or those wishing to shake off jet lag while getting a little exercise.

My husband and I had a great time. We enjoyed biking around and seeing Bacelona. The bike lanes make it easy. The guide Marina was fantastic. We highly recommend.
Judith_L, Jul 2026

My family of four had so much fun on this tour. It was a great way to start our trip to Barcelona taking in so many sites and seeing what we wanted to go back to. Misha was an excellent tour guide. He provided so much information about Barcelona throughout our tour. He kept us very safe as we navigated the streets. And he provided great suggestions for things to do during our stay
Julie_S, Jun 2026
Exceptional e-bike tour of beautiful Barcelona. Misha was a fabulous guide, very friendly and incredible knowledge of Barcelona’s history and culture. Many fabulous points of interest visited with Misha giving detailed explanations and information. Highly recommend.
heather_m, Jun 2026
It is a good overview of what you might want to visit in Barcelona. The tour route is pretty flat and you get to bike by the beach.
brian_c, Jun 2026
Good tour. Hit key sites around town and guide offered extensive history and info. Thought we were getting e-bikes but got regular (which my gut needed though).
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for joining our tour and for taking the time to leave a review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting the key sites around the city and that you appreciated the extensive history and information shared by your guide.
We also checked your booking regarding the bike type. Unfortunately, your reservation was for a regular bicycle rather than an e-bike. We’re glad to hear it worked out well in the end and gave your gut a bit of a workout!
Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future. Safe travels! 🚲😊

Definitely need to have some biking experience, as much of the riding is in busy areas with lots of pedestrian traffic, but a great way to get a feel for Barcelona. I have done lots of city bike tours in the past(Miami, Toronto, London,) and the bikes we got were in great condition. Our guide, Leo, was very engaging and patient.
Matthew_S, Jun 2026
Definitely worth it to understand the city and learn how to get around. We would have never made it to some of these locations not being on bikes. We spent a little extra money and got e-bikes. Barcelona is pretty flat and you can do it with a regular bike, but the e-bikes helped us get up a long hill with ease.
Jonathan_B, Jun 2026
Traffic and pedestrians did make cycling a little tricky, but still a highly enjoyable experience. We had the e-bike upgrade. Not sure if that was strictly necessary because the cycling was pretty gentle anyway.
Jady_B, Jun 2026
Brittany was such a great guide! She gave so much information and was very good at guiding us through some busy streets. 100% recommend, just need to know how to ride a bike.
Magnea_G, Jun 2026
A very good way to explore the city. Personal guidance, good bike, great experience. You get to see a lot in a short time.
Michelle_B, Jun 2026
Leo was a fantastic bike tour guide! He is very knowledgeable of the city and added a local perspective to the city. He was also very personable and friendly. I would highly recommend doing this bike tour as soon as you arrive in Barcelona.
Megan_B, Jun 2026
Great tour through Barcelona. Misha was our guide and he was great - very knowledgeable about Barcelona and the history. This tour was a great opportunity to see a lot of Barcelona in a short amount of time.
Steve_N, Jun 2026
Great guide. Friendly. Kept us safe. Was generous with his knowledge and suggestions for after tour eats.
Patricia_N, Jun 2026
Our tour guide, Brianna, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and kept an even pace for all participants. We rode back streets, to the Sagrada then ended at the beach before returning to the shop. A very comprehensive tour. I highly recommend this activity.
Bob_H, Jun 2026
Wow! What an amazing trip. Our tour guide was amazing and the bikes performed flawlessly. Love this hidden gem bike tour. I would recommend this to everyone.
Debbie_C, Jun 2026
Thoroughly enjoyed our three hour bike ride around Barcelona , seeing places that we would not have seen if we had not done this.
Our tour guide Leo, was friendly and knowledgeable and we were given plenty at each stop to take and look and ask questions.
We didn’t choose an electric bike, both in our late fifties we managed just fine.
Great value for money and thoroughly enjoyable.
Cristina_C, Jun 2026
This was my teenage daughter’s favorite tour and ours as well. Barcelona is such a fun city and bike friendly, it was great to experience it from this perspective. I would never have had the time or energy to see as much as I did up close by foot or bus as I did by bike. I selected an ebike since I don’t normally bike too much, but had to do it all by regular bike because they ended up being out of ebikes on my tour day, but it was ok since Barcelona is mostly flat and mild inclines only. Don’t miss this bike tour, it was amazing!!!
Dennis_B, May 2026
Some areas of tour are crowded with tourist... watch out. E- bike option was easier to navigate crowds and stop/go. Surprisingly, helmets not required. The guide was careful and considerate of the range of biker's experience and capabilities.
Guide...
(Unfortunately, don't recall his name...male/from Georgia - Russia/ and Barcelona resident for 12 yrs.) We were fortunate to have his guidance and informed knowledge of Barcelona and the many stops made on the tour.
Fortunate to have good weather, and a tour day on a Sunday AM, when some local activities (dancing) takes place regularly.
Overall, an easy way to cover a larger area of Barcelona. DO suggest doing such a tour early in your visit to Barcelona.... as, you'll know where to revisit the next day.
Give it a try!
Matthew_R, May 2026
Riding some of the backstreets on a Sunday was a little challenging but fun. Our guide was Georgian spoke great English and was knowledgeable. Met a great bunch of folks from Australia on our ride.
Shabbar_J, May 2026
A fantastic way to explore Barcelona! Our guide Marina was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour truly enjoyable. We covered the main highlights as well as some hidden gems you'd never find on your own. Well-paced and well worth it.... Highly recommend!
Laura_M, May 2026
Highly recommend this bike tour to see the sights of the city! Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I really learned a lot about Catalan history. The tour guide has restaurant recommendations for after and we went to one and it was the best meal we had in Barcelona.
I would say bring a bottled water if you want as they do not provide one.
Cliona_F, May 2026
Really recommend this tour.! Our guide Mischa was just fantastic - gave us loads of historic info at every stop & the tour really covers most of Barcelona’s key spots. Special thanks to Mischa for recommending the Palau de Musica to us - we went to a concert of movie themes there next day & the music & surroundings were sensational - the highlight of our 3 days in Barcelona!
Charlotte_B, May 2026
Perfect way of seeing Barcelona if time is tight. Come from a cruise ship so limited time . But got to see all the sights with our fantastic tour guide. group of 10 so not over crowded and felt safe all the time. Nice steady pace to see your surroundings. Got recommendations for tapas lunch when finished. Tour guide very friendly and knowledgeable
Nathalie_G, May 2026
Loved this BCN bike tour. Great way to see the city. Brittney was a great tour guide! Definitely recommend.
Olivia_J, May 2026
Super great experience! Great way to see the city and learn more of the history. Our guide gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip which was super helpful.
Elba_S, May 2026
Everything went so smoothly on our biking tour with Albert! Started on time, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone was following along. He was very cautious as we biked through the city on/off bike lanes, around pedestrians, and traffic. In 3 hours we learned a lot about the city and saw several highlights that we wouldn’t have experienced during our short stay in Barcelona. Bikes were sturdy and route is mostly flat. This is a great way to see many areas of the city.
