Surprisingly awesome!

Lisa_B, Jun 2026
We were looking for something a little different that would also be friendly for mobility-challenged seniors. We wanted an evening activity when the weather was cooler, and we came across this sidecar tour. At first, my parents were a little hesitant, but they quickly warmed up to the idea—and by the end, they absolutely loved it. Our guides, Matthias and Joppe, were fantastic. The sidecars were surprisingly comfortable for both my mother and my mother-in-law, and they felt safe and well taken care of throughout the ride. The tour started with a brief history of Barcelona and a map showing the areas we would be exploring. As we rode through the city, Matthias and Joppe shared stories about the neighborhoods, landmarks, and architecture, making the experience much more than just a sightseeing tour. They were knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to answer our questions, which made for great conversation throughout the evening. One of my favorite parts was seeing Barcelona after sunset. The city really comes alive at night. The landmarks look completely different when they’re illuminated, and the nightlife gives the city a whole new energy and atmosphere. It felt like we were experiencing a different side of Barcelona than we had during the day. If you’re looking for a unique way to see Barcelona—especially if you’re traveling with seniors or anyone who prefers to avoid long walks—I highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip and a wonderful way to experience the city once the daytime crowds and heat had settled down.

Dear Lisa, We are touched by your speech! Thank you for taking the time, thank you for the amazing words, and the energy. We are a small hard working local company and this totally makes our day! We truly hope to be able to be your guides again in the future. Warm regards from all the team, specially from Matt and Joppe!

Great way to see the city

Mary_R, Mar 2026
The perfect way to see the city. Our guide Stephen was knowledgeable and funny. This was my first time in a motorcycle and I road in the sidecar and felt perfectly safe. The best part of a tour like this is the one on one time with a local person. Gives such an intimate view of the city. I would suggest taking this tour at the start of your visit to set up your plans.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Mary, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with our Barcelona Sidecar Night Tour. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed discovering the city from the sidecar and that Stephan helped make the evening both interesting and enjoyable with his knowledge of Barcelona. It’s great to know that, even on your first motorcycle ride, you felt safe and comfortable throughout the tour. That’s something we always aim for so that our guests can simply relax and enjoy the ride. We completely share your view with your suggestion about doing the tour early in a visit — it’s a great way to get a first overview of the city. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Stephan. Warm regards from him and from all of us at BrightSide Tours, and we hope to see you again in Barcelona someday!

We had such a fun time on...

Jennifer_G, Jul 2025
We had such a fun time on this tour. The guides were friendly and fun. This gave us a chance to see parts of Barcelona that we likely would not have seen in such an authentic and exciting way. They picked up right outside of the hotel which made it easy also. Would just say that for children the side car is much preferred to the back of the motorbike as each vehicle holds 2 in addition to the driver.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Jennifer, Thank you for your great review and for trusting BrightSide Tours to show you the highlights & secrets of Barcelona on our private tour by sidecar motorcycle. It is a wonderful family experience of our amazing city. Both the sidecar and pillion seats are very confortable and safe and the driving is very slow. The minimum age on our sidecar tours is 7 years old, indeed, if the children are below 10 years old, we recommend them seating in the sidecar. We hope to see you again soon!

Great Experience

Meredith_G, Jun 2025
Great experience and a really cool way to see the city. My trip was last minute and I booked this for the night before I left and I couldn’t have been happier. Driver Joppe (I think, he’s really tall) was extremely informative and the photo opps are next level. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Meredith, thank you for choosing BrightSide Tours Barcelona and your great review! It was indeed Joppe, the height gave him away :) We're happy you had such a great experience and we hope to see you in Barcelona again soon!

A must do Experience

We had the best time. Pablo and Johaness were fantastic guides as they took us around to see the city and to take scenic photos. Sitting on the back of the bike or in the sidecar was great and we had commentary as we went along. thank you both for the tour

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear travelling friend, Thank you so much for trusting BrightSide Tours and for your awesome review of your tour with Pablo and Johannes. We hope to see you in Barcelona again soon!

Exciting way to experience Barcelona

Christy_B, Aug 2024
What an awesome way to experience Barcelona with this nighttime tour. Johannes made us forget that we hadn’t slept in 24 hours - it was exhilarating! I highly recommend this exciting way to experience the highlights of this city.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you Christy for trusting BrightSide Tours and for your amazing review! We're happy to keep up and loving Barcelona! Until the next time around!

Best tour ever!!!!

Daisy_S, Jul 2024
We have a fantastic time with Joao. He was more than knowledgeable; he was accommodating and caring for us. He took the time to take pictures and tell us about the historical part of every area we stopped in. We cannot wait to come back with friends and request Joao.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for choosing BrightSide and taking time to review. We always try to tailor and be as informative as possible to provide a 360 insight to Barcelona. It was a pleasure to share all our knowledge with you. Hopefully you will come back for another Sidecar Adventure. Best wishes, Joao & Team

Michele_C, Oct 2023
Wonderful tour, both guides were knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. They outlined what we would cover, gave us great information on the history and culture of the city and recommended several restaurants and suggestions for places to visit. A fantastic experience!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hi Michele, Thank you so much for your review, it means a lot to us! I hope to see you soon again on one of our tours, for next time you can try the tapas tour, where we take you to our favorite local restaurant, or the winery tour, where we take you for some wine tasting to a beautiful winery outside of the city.

Great tour
