5.00It was a great way to see the city. Our guide Kelly was informative and gave us a brief explanation on the main monuments but also the hidden gems.
Wonderful way to discover Barcelona

5.00Terrific bike tour with Stephanie -- charming, smart, knowledgeable, gracious, entirely fluent English speaker, wonderful guide. Strongly recommend for anyone who enjoys life on two wheels; the vast majority of the rides are in protected/separate lanes and Stephanie kept close watch for stragglers, etc. Learned a lot of history, too -- glad to recommend without hesitation.

1.00BEWARE THEY WILL CANCEL YOU IF THEY DON’t GET ENOUGH BOOKINGS!!! I was so looking forward to this experience and they canceled Same thing happened in Madrid about 6 months ago I’m not sure if it’s a company thing or Spanish culture

5.00Great way to see many more sites vs a walking tour. Easy pace and lots of great insight into the city, the sites, etc. I’ve need to BCN before and enjoyed seeing new things. Starts at 10am and only suggestion would be to offer also at 9am to when city is less busy.

4.00This tour was great for us to see some of the highlights of Barcelona in a short amount of time. The biking was very easy with very minimal hills. Our tour guide was fantastic. He was very funny and got to know the people in the group. He also took us to additional places that weren’t included in the original tour description that were a bonus! Our one complaint is that the tour did not take us to everywhere it described. We still had an enjoyable experience, but wish we could’ve gone to the pier or beach. There were a few attractions we didn’t get to see.

5.00Kay was an amazing tour guide, and it is obvious that she loves. Barcelona. This tour was an excellent way to see most of the highlights of Barcelona in a fun, adventurous way. Kay took us through many different neighborhoods, so we feel that we got to experience the real Barcelona.
Great gentle bike ride, don't get the e-bike

5.00Fantastic tour with a fun guide who knew how to keep things light while giving good details. Gave a good down to earth feeling of what parts of the city feel like. The route is pretty flat and if you're of average shape you should be easily able to do it on a normal bike (as I did). An e-bike will obviously make the effort required close to nothing.
Great fun and interesting way to see Barcelona!

5.00Kelly, our guide was knowledgeable and fun. She happily answered all our questions and gave recommendations for food, drink etc. Tour is a must do if you want to cover the city in 3-4hrs. Majority of route of cycle lanes.
10 stars out of 5

5.00This tour was superb, not necessarily because of what we saw (which I'm sure would have been included in other tours), but because of our guide, Mati. We have done many Viator tours over the years, but he stands out as certainly top 3 guides we've ever had, and probably #1. He is obviously very intelligent, a seemingly bottomless bucket of information about the city, history, etc. On top of that, he speaks very clear English (something we've struggled with on past tours), and his style is absolutely captivating. He had us in stitches more than once with his storytelling. He's the new tour guide "GOAT" in my book!
