This ride was a great introduction to Barcelona! Our guide Misha was exceptional - he provided great directions for navigating Barcelona streets and bike lanes and kept a very reasonable pace for the tour. Highly recommend this tour!

Excellent tour. Our daughters 8 and 11 loves it. Highly recommended for families. We got to see the historic parts of the town and the beach area.

Overview

Barcelona's landmarks, neighborhoods, and waterfront cover more ground than most visitors realize—and a bike covers the distance between them far more efficiently than walking. This small-group cycling tour connects Barcelona Cathedral, Plaça Reial, La Sagrada Família, local bodegas, and Barceloneta beach, with a guide providing commentary and regular stops along the route.

Travel light—bike and helmet rental is included
No need for maps—enjoy having a guide to navigate
Great for mixed fitness levels—regular breaks along the way
See many top Barcelona sights in a day, such as Placa Reial

The city of chuches

Kim_C, Apr 2026

The bike ride was great but one should know that cars and motorcycles, are going by pretty fast and pedestrians so you should be ready for that . The lady that did the tour was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the city what we were seeing.

Informative and fun covering some of the city highlights

Emina_C, Apr 2026

Tour starts in Gothic quarter, then continues through Eixample (a longer stop at La Sagrada Familia), all the way to Barcelonetta beach via Parc Ciutadella. The route and the guide's narration cover a big span of Barcelona history. Our guide Marina was superb,. clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects. Be warned: There is a tedious 20 minute section when you ride in the bike lane towards the Arc De Triomf and you have to stop at every traffic light.

Marina was our guide, we...

Bruce_M, Apr 2026

Marina was our guide, we had a group of 7. She was very engaging, friendly and informative. We got a good idea of Barcelona.

So worth it. We did this...

Harjinder_S, Apr 2026

So worth it. We did this tour on our last day but even then we picked up on stuff we did not know about an amazing city. Merina was a great tour guide.

Great Guide, great tour.

JOHN_P, Apr 2026

Great tour with a very informative and friendly guide who took great interest in where the group members came from and the history and culture of their own country. All round a great trip, well worth the money. Only downside was the saddle soreness come the end of the trip!!! Thanks

Excellent tour and very...

April_A, Apr 2026

Excellent tour and very knowledgeable tour guide. Gave us a chance to visit parts of Barcelona we would not have seen otherwise. Highly recommended!!!

A ride worth while

Emma_Y, Apr 2026

Great way to see the highlights of Barcelona and learn about the history of Catalunya. An easy paced and mostly flat ride.

Excellent adventure.

Sarah_G, Apr 2026

Excellent adventure at a moderate pace. Great way to see Barcelona without fighting crowds every single moment.

Highly recommend!

Dennis_O, Apr 2026

Gentle city bike ride

Karen_A, Apr 2026

A gentle ride through the city and a great way to see some local attractions with a few stop offs for water, toilet and information.

Cycling around Barcelona

Adrian_c, Apr 2026

If you like cycling this is a good way to see Barcelona with the added bonus of an informative guide

Bike tour

Hayley_H, Apr 2026

Excellent way to see the city. Britney was extremely knowledgeable about the local history and made it enjoyable for all ages. She was fantastic! My only negative was the group size seems a little big (11) which made it difficult if you were the person at the back getting across roads and when we stopped getting close enough to hear Britney. Bikes were good, didn’t need a e bike as there was lots of stops and Barcelona is pretty flat. Well worth the money and would recommend it to others..we had 2 adults and 2 children (11 & 13)

This was our first time...

Lauren_C, Apr 2026

This was our first time taking a bike tour, and it exceeded our expectations. It was a great way to see the city and spend time outside. Our guide, Amedeo (or Ame, as he told us to call him), was excellent. He was really engaging, great with kids and helped introduce us to a lot of great spots around the city. We thoroughly enjoyed outselves and would definitely recommend this to everyone.

Biking in Barcelona

Jason_A, Mar 2026

Great bike tour and Marina was an awesome tour guide. We chose the ebike option but really didn’t need too much. It was so much fun.

Barcelona on bike

Manisha_T, Mar 2026

Excellent tour with Paula! We enjoyed our tour to a great deal and would recommend this tour. Our guide was engaging and knowledgeable and we loved every minute.

Highly recommend! Thank you, Misha!

Stephanie_J, Mar 2026

We spent an excellent day with our tour guide Misha. He is by far the most knowledgeable guide we’ve had in Barcelona. It was an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend!

Great experience

Garrett_M, Mar 2026

Great way to see a number of the best attractions in the city. Our guide gave us some very interesting historical background. Good to do early in your trip.

Tour guide Marina was...

Ron_A, Mar 2026

Tour guide Marina was great. What made it better is she looks just like our granddaughter.😃 This tour is a great overview of the city of Barcelona that can’t be done walking, or on the hop on hop off bus. Marina was very knowledgeable of the history of Barcelona and made it a fun time.

A fantastic way to experience the flavor of the area and see many things that make Barcelona such a gem!

Katherine_L, Mar 2026

Book this. We know there are many options but our tour guide Marina was knowledgable and projected well so we could hear and the tour was such a thorough way and fun way to see a variety of highlights, take photos and get a feel for the different neighborhoods, architectural masterpieces and histories of the area. They keep tours small which is rare and beneficial. Our family of two 50 something and two 18 year olds loved this tour!

A great time had!

Rowena_G, Mar 2026

We had a wonderful tour. Our tour guide was very informative with the history of Barcelona and what to see and do. He even gave us plenty of restaurant referrals - which were delicious.
