So worth the money! Best way to see sites that you wouldn’t normally see during a short stay in Barcelona. Leo, our guide, was great! Very informative and made sure we were safe at all times. Our group was small, only 5 of us, so it was easy to stay together and hear about the sites we were seeing. Totally recommend this tour and best to do it on your first day if possible so you can get your bearings of the whole city… made it easier to get around the rest of our stay bc we recognized things and knew where we were.
Bikes were comfortable and in good condition.
Michel was a great guide. My husband and I joined the group of 12 for the 3 hour tour of biking and learning. It was a great overview of many parts to the town. Great day 1/2 activity.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and easy to follow on the path. We were able to see so many sights of the city
What a great tour. Leo was AMAZING! We covered so much and it was both fun and educational. Highly recommend.
This is the best way to see & experience the Barcelona in a few hours! Our guide, Vincent, was excellent. We arrived in port via cruise ship and the meeting point was close to the port. The city is too spread out to walk, but the streets too narrow to drive. Bikes are the way to go here!
We had a nice tour!!! Highly recommend . The guide was very good and easy to understand about the history. We took e-bike and someone who wants to do more exercise doesn’t need e-bike . All the way is flat.
The tour was going great until the guide left half if us behind at a red light. He kept saying not to worry about that type of situation as he would wait, but then when it did happen, he didn't. The tour company called my phone and said I got lost. I didn't get lost, I was left behind. Those are two very different things. Make sure you know where the end point is as it is not the meeting point, and have the ability to navigate there.

We’re really sorry that this happened at the end of the tour and understand how frustrating it must have been to find yourself separated from the group.
That said, we do feel that a 2-star review is quite unfair and doesn’t reflect the overall experience, especially as you mentioned yourself that the tour was going great until this point. The separation happened right at the end of the tour, and as soon as we realised there was an issue, our team contacted you and did everything we could to locate you and help you reach the correct end point.
We absolutely take responsibility for reviewing what happened with the guide and making sure the group is kept together and the final meeting point is clearly communicated. At the same time, we hope it is also recognised that our team did not ignore the situation — we actively tried to help and resolve it as soon as we became aware of it.
We’re genuinely sorry that this happened, but we feel that the 2-star rating is disproportionate to what was otherwise, by your own account, a very good tour.
We loved this bike tour! One of the best ones I have been on. It’s a great way to see a lot of the city and makes the heat bearable in the summer.
Michel was an excellent guide and we learned so much about Catalan and Barcelona! We would highly recommend this!
Overall a great introduction to the city. Enjoyed our guide and seeing the sights. Gave us lots of tips of things to do during our stay.
Enjoyable three hours. Michael gave us a great intro to Barcelona! Highly recommend but there is a lot of people traffic to be careful of. Not for the timid.
Our family of 4 enjoyed this trip. We were the only ones in our group and our guide Jacob was great. Since we didn’t have any plans for the rest of the day he took us on 90 minute tour even though we paid for 60min. The churros are the end were wonderful.
Great bike tour, bad with names, but our guide was amazing. Really knew the city, and was very friendly.
This ride was so cool. Our guide Leo was very chill, highly informed, very interesting and easy going.
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.
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.
Leo great guide beautiful tour of old neighborhoods and waterfront park interesting information especially architectural. Safe routes easy riding .
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
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.
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.
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).

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.
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.
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.
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.
A very good way to explore the city. Personal guidance, good bike, great experience. You get to see a lot in a short time.
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.
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.
