Best way to see the city!
Fiona_K

Great trip! This was my fourth time in Barcelona and first time doing a bike tour. I thought it would be a lot of similar information as walking tours but we were able to see A LOT more of Barcelona with great, new explanations. The guide was amazing, and explained everything in detail without losing interest. 10/10 recommend- this is one of the best ways to see the city.

We can't remember our guide's name because it was difficult - he is from Georgia (the country, not the US state), but he was really excellent. Incredible how much he knew about everything - history, architecture, etc. Very pleasant and extremely knowledgable. He was also very professional and handled the group very expertly. It was a wonderful tour. Very highly recommended.

Ben/Benji/the guy with the long hair was great. Very friendly and open. The tour itself was good it was an easy but fun route. The talks at the stops were informative, if I had one gripe it would be that they were all very history focused rather than what is going on right now. But I suppose that is to be expected. Great value for money would recommend.

I loved this biking tour, the guide was super friendly and just awesome, he knew all the best historic facts and made sure the group kept together and had time for little breaks if needed etc. I did this on my last day and I'd seen most of the sights previously but it was still amazing and gave a new perspective to everything I'd already seen. I would highly recommend, worth the price for sure! Group was super friendly also
