James was a great tour guide. He was knowledgeable about the history of the city and presented a great story throughout the trip - even a couple of bonus stops with a neat history. We traversed the city from the Marina to Sagrada Familia and many points in between. This is a great way to see the city and get an overview of what to revisit. There were plenty of chances to stop and take photos. Great pace - 14 y/o did fine on hills and city streets. Group ranged from 14 y/o to 45.

Great sights, learning, and activity!

Sarah_A, Apr 2024

My dad and I took this bike tour on our visit to Barcelona. Neither of us had been to the city before, and this tour was perfect to see all of the main sights as well as learn about the unique culture of Catalonia. Our tour guide, Kyra, was personable and knowledgeable about the sights and really enhanced our experience in Barcelona! I totally recommend!

Great bike tour!

Kyle_R, Mar 2024

Kira was our guide and she was knowledgeable , personable and wonderful. The biking was great, we felt very safe in the bike lanes. Thanks for a great day!

Great way to see Barcelona

Isabel_H, Jan 2024

A fabulous way to see Barcelona with our guide Misha - he was very knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona! Really enjoyed the tour.

Amazing experience

Andrew_b, Nov 2023

Stephan was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and very nice, would definitely recommended it to everybody coming to Barcelona.

Great way to see the city!

Philip_S, Nov 2023

This tour was definitely worth doing. Our tour guide, Kira, was very knowledgable and informative, plus she gave us a whole list of recommendations when the tour was over. Touring on bikes was the best way to see the city. You cover more ground than walking, and you see more than you would on a bus. Highly recommended!

Great Start to our Barcelona Vacation

Regina_E, Nov 2023

Great day! Enjoyed seeing the sites and hearing about the history. Perfect way to start our stay in Barcelona. The tour was easy to find, bikes adjusted easily, tour guide was excellent, and physically it was not strenuous! Could not ask for more!

Comprehensive tour by Gerald!

KennethRobert_d, Oct 2023

It was a very small group that time, only five of us. Perfect for a bike tour. Gerald did such a good job describing the history between Catalunya and Spain in the first few minutes of the tour and giving interesting trivia on the spots we visited. I would say he gave one of the most comprehensive tours out of all the walking and bike tours I've tried so far. I think the only point for improvement is for him to be more conscious of the needs of the group as a whole. We have this American couple who talked a lot, asking about recommendations for their next activities after the tour instead of the spots we visited, and so much of his attention went to them. Despite that, I have no hesitations in giving five stars

Very enjoyable bike tour.

Matthew_M, Oct 2023

Very good overall experience. Knowledgeable guide also. A basic bike orientation for the ladies and bottled water would be even better.

Fun afternoon ride

Tyler_R, Sep 2023

Fun activity with great info about the city. We saw a lot and the time flew by. Got some nice photos at the beach and at Sagrada Familia.

Great way to explore Barcelona

Renee_R, Sep 2023

Great way to see and learn about Barcelona sites and history. Biking was perfect to get easily around the broad area of Barcelona. After bike tour, was able to decide area(s) to go back and explore more.

Great Bike Ride

Angie_B, Sep 2023

Gerald was a great guide! We enjoyed our experience very much and would definitely recommend to others.

Could have been better

Aditi_R, Sep 2023

The guide could have been with better.. but good way to explore the city.. Did this trip long back in 2016 that time the guide had too much attitude not friendly to everyone

Great way to experience the city

Merrilyn_H, Sep 2023

We got to see so many sites in a short amount of time. Our tour guide, Alvaro, did an amazing job of sharing his love for Barcelona while showing us the sites and sharing the history and facts of the sites.

Excellent tour excellent guide

Rama_N, Aug 2023

Great experience. What made it even better is our amazing guide, Anna! She was thorough, clear and funny. Highly recommend :)

Fantastic

Patrice_M, Aug 2023

Great tour, from the gothic section to La familia, to the Mediterranean waterfront. Alvaro was the best, very knowledgeable and friendly, with a greatly sense of humor.

Can be exhausting for a senior, but worth the effort

Stephen_W, Aug 2023

This was an excellent tour, but I’m a 70 year old man who has not pedaled a bicycle in over 50 years. It wore me out. Thanks to the patience of our guide, I survived and am glad for the experience.

Barcelona bike tour with large family

Ush_P, Aug 2023

Great tour, informative and flexible. Easy to follow instructions in finding the tour. Our guide laughed at our jokes, so that was a huge win.

Great exercise for the body and mind!!

Jennifer_R, Aug 2023

The tour was really fun and informative! Our guide was so knowledgeable about all the interesting history of Barcelona. He took perfect routes to avoid over crowded areas so it was a safe ride and physically very do-able.

Best way to tour Barcelona

Hoanh_T, Jul 2023

What a great way to experience the many facets of Barcelona. Niamh our guide imparted her deep knowledge of the city's history and culture with great enthusiasm. I learned so much genuinely interesting stuff and can't wait for when my kids are old enough so I can take them on a Fat Tire bike tour!

Great Intro Bike Tour

Mackenzie_C, Jul 2023

My husband and I had a great time on the tour and learned a lot from our guide, Alvaro! It is a great way to connect with other travelers and see various neighborhoods. It is a relaxed bike ride with more of a mix between walking and biking. It is also a good introduction to the city, though you may want to follow up with more in-depth tours of certain places. We would have changed the lunch spot, but otherwise really enjoyed the overall experience!
