Mathias and Stephen were great guides through the city. Our family did this tour at the beginning of our trip, and it helped us understand how this beautiful city was built. The motorcycles were smooth and comfortable to ride in. They even provided us blankets. Our family highly recommends this tour.

We had such a great time! We were with Joe and Stephan and they were awesome. We learned so much and saw parts of the city that we never would have seen otherwise. I recommend doing this early in your trip so you can take advantage of the recommendations that the drivers give!

Dear Anne,

We are glad to know you could have a fun and knowledgeable experience, and totally agree: our half day tour or the sunset rider are really good ways o get a first "whole picture" of the city.

We enjoyed our tour with Stefan and Andres. They were so good in explaining everything and allowing us to customize the tour to our needs. We saw all the main sites and got a great feel for the city and it's neighborhoods. Highly recommended, esp with young kids.

This was amazing and our guide Pablo was a bonus gem! The bucket seat was very comfortable (and safe). My husband is a motorcycle rider so I gave him the "back" passenger seat behind the guide which did seem a bit scary to novice riders like myself. Our guide was generous with time and knowledge and absolutely hit it off with my hubby about their shared passion for motorcycles.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Lisa,
Thank you for your super review of our private sidecar tour in Barcelona. It is great to have the feedback of a novice rider and terrific when we cross paths with a petrol head ;) We really appreciate your words about Pablo, all our guides are very professional, safe drivers and work hard to balance knowledge and fun. Please let us knkow if you come back to the catalan capital, best regards from all the team!
Gwen_H, Oct 2025
This was the best excursion on our Mediterranean cruise. Pablo was fantastic and took us all over Barcelona. Our 3 1/2 hr tour was so fun. We would love to go back and do it again. Well worth the price!!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Gwen,
Big simle in all of us when reading your review! Thank you for taking the time to do it. We will keep it up and hope you stop by Barcelona again in the future and try a different pruivate sidecar tour in the city! Best regards from Pablo and all te team at BrightSide Tours
Kevin_B, Sep 2025
There’s no way we would have seen as much of Barcelona without Andre providing this very informative – and very fun! – tour by motorcycle. The motorcycle and sidecar were both extremely comfortable and even some brief early morning raindrops couldn’t dampen our enthusiasm for this genuinely unique tour. Skip the big tour bus and hop on.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Dear Kevin,
Thank you for your amazing review of your experience with Andre and BrightSide Tours exploring Barcelona on this fun and safe sidecar ride! For the travellers reading this, keep in mind that in case of rain at the time of the tour, costumers can cancel and get 100% refund.
Until the next time around!

Absolute best way to see any city, but especially Barcelona. It was my first time in Barcelona and couldn't have asked for a better morning. Saw many wonderful sites from the beach to the hills. We discussed a few things I wanted to see and those were already on the agenda. He picked me up at my hotel and dropped me off at Sagrada as I had a times entrance at the end of the tour. Do this tour! You won't regret it!
Response from Host, Sep 2025

The tour was an exhilarating way to get to see Barcelona. We felt like rock stars driving through the streets, everyone waved to us. We got to see so many sites, stopped and walked around to take amazing photos. Our knowledgeable guides spoke to us through the helmet microphones about the history of Barcelona.
We wish a tour like this could be offered in other cities. Don’t miss out.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Wow barbara, thank you for this amazing review! You were stars to us indeed! We are truly happy to have been fun, informative and tailored tour for you visit in Barcelona. We hope to welcome you back on the sidecars soon again!
Jo_W, Jun 2025
Best tour ever!! Loved every minute of it!! Ferdinand was incredible. Before starting he sized us for our helmets and showed us a map and I explained that there were places we already saw and I asked him if we could go to places we didn't see. He said its your tour and we can do that. We were staying in the Gothic Quarter and he picked us up right in front of our hotel! He took us to the the Jewish Quarter and Pont del Bisbe, along the way he sharred the history of these places with us, he also showed us the Roman ruins at MUHBA Templo de Augusto and then we went to Plaça de Sant Felip Neri. Somber but important history. Then we were off to the Olympic village and the beautiful seaside. Montjuïc Cable Car was fun to see as we passed by as well as the Joan Miro museum (visited it the next day), we went to the Parc de Montjuïc to see the Olympic pool, Olympic ring and stopped at Parc de la Creueta del Coll. After stopping for a short while we headed to Casa Batlló, Casa Mila. Ferdinand gave us the history and description of everyplace we visited. He was very kind and patient. It was truly the best way to see Barcelona in a motorcycle sidecar and the best way to end our visit to this amazing city.
Response from Host, Jun 2025

We loved seeing many sites in short time. Do this tour if you don’t have much time in the city or do it on your first few days to get the city layout and know where you want to go back. Also so fun to ride!

JeanMarie_O, Oct 2024
Valentina was our guide she was great and funny. Our problem was my husband had hard time sitting on back of bike. Only 1 person can sit in side car.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Dear Jean,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are very sorry your husband did not feel confortable on the back seat of the motorbike, this is quite unusual. The motorcycle seat is actually very confortable in comparison to any regular motorbike and it is separate from the driver, with handles. We have served over 25.000 customers of all ages on our sidecar motorcycles, although not as confortable as seating in a luxury car, we never had such negative feedback in regard to the confort on the back seat. We are really very sorry your husband felt unconfortable during the ride.
Indeed, the sidecar is only for 1 person and the other passenger's seat is on the bike, as shown on the pictures/video and explained on our website. Both seats are great and most people love to switch along the way.
Upon reading your review, we spoke to Valentina, she remembers you very well and told us that given your husband's back issues, she suggested you to swap seats along the way (following this suggestion would certainly make it much lighter for your husband) and maximized the number of stops to make shorter periods on the bike.
We hope to meet you again and take you on another tour next time in Barcelona, for the next time we'll consider the confort of a van over the fun of the motorcycle.
Thank you again and best regards,
Peggy_N, Oct 2024
Great way to see the backstreet areas of Barcelona. Valentina was a great guide. Would recommend for a first time visitor

Stacy_S, Oct 2024
Wow!!!! We had a great time. My husband and I only had a day and a half in Barcelona before a cruise. We wanted to see all the highlights of Barcelona. I spent a lot of time reading reviews of different excursions. This one definitely seemed like the best option. However, my husband was very hesitant about riding around in a sidecar. When he was done, he was admitted that he loved the tour. It is a great way to see the city. The big bonus is our guide, Stephan was excellent. He was very informative and we could understand everything he said (which was not true of a lot of our other excursions). Plus he tailored the tour to suit our needs. Thanks again Stephan!!!

Kevin_N, Sep 2024
The motorcycle part alone is awesome. Then add two great guides( Stephan and Ernesto ) who really have a passion for sharing about their city, Barcelona. They are really competent and traversing the busy city streets, and know the best places to show us. Completely safe. I recommend it to anyone.
