Great Way To See Barcelona
Barry_R, Apr 2024
Believe the reviews. We went out with Johanes (sp?) and it was a great tour around Barcelona and a wonderfully fun way to do it. It rained on the way back...it didn't matter, it just added to the fun aspect of an unusual day out.
A tour like no other!
Angela_S, Mar 2024
The tour was a real treat. I saw places outside the normal tourist route and had detailed and informative commentary by my guide. The ride was very comfortable and easy to get in and out of (I have mobility issues so that was a concern) . I had a wonderful experience and it was a highlight of my trip to Barcelona.

Barcelona by Motor Bike / Side Car
Cathy_K, Nov 2023
A novel way to see Barcelona at ground level with a knowledgeable tour guide/motorbike rider. For those unaccustomed to being on a motorbike ( with side car) this experience is a bonus. Bluetooth connection allows you to hear what is being described. The architecture of Barcelona is fascinating. Would recommend.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you for your kind review. We're thrilled you enjoyed seeing Barcelona from this unique vantage point. It's great to hear that our intercom system added to your experience. We're also delighted that our guide's insights into Barcelona's architecture impressed you. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to hopefully touring with you again!
Great tour and lots of fun.
jim_s, Nov 2023
Had a really fun tour with a friendly and very well informed guide named Guiu. He started by explaining the layout of the city on a map. We then did the tour stopping at major sites. The tour gave us a great over view of the city and all major sites.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Hello Jim, thank you for your great review about BrightSide Tours and Guiu! Our tours are very unique and we put a lot of work on having guides with great personality, knowledge and professionalism - we are very happy you had such a great experience. Until the next time around!
Great tour and a fun way to see the entire City of Barcelona!
Anne_H, Oct 2023
Amazing way to see the beautiful city of Barcelona! The tour takes you around the entire city - you really get the layout and hit all of the major sites. We loved it!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Dear Anne, thank you for choosing BrightSide Tours and for your great review! We agree our tours are not only fun & educational, as well as truly ecletic - covering a bit of everything from the major landmarks, the best viewpoints and local neighbourhoods. Until the next time around!
Great intro to the city of Barcelona
Judy_K, Oct 2023
Our tour guide/ driver ( Juli) was knowledgeable & gave us a great introduction to Barcelona, its history & its character. His personal anecdotes about Barcelona history were particularly interesting! Thank you Juli.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Hello Judy, Thank you so much for your great feedback. We take pride in not only doing a touristic tour of the city, but also giving you a bit of an insight on how the life of an average barcelonian is like. We're hoping to see you soon again on one of our tours!
FANTASTIC trip through Barcelona!
Tracy_D, Oct 2023
Guiu was FANTASTIC!! We absolutely LOVED this tour! People were taking picture of US while we drove thru the streets of Barcelona. The helmets were comfortable, the headsets worked great and his English was super so we could communicate easily the entire time. He showed us all the highlights we wanted to see and some unexpected interesting spots as well. What a beautiful city and a beautiful way to see it! We smiled and laughed so much-Guiu has such a great sense of humor! He even made a local suggestion for lunch that was great and learned a little about stock trading on the side! Thank you for a wonderful day!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Hello Tracy, Thank you so much for your review! Indeed the sidecar motorcycles cause quite a spectacle when riding around the streets of Barcelona :) We're very happy that you had so much fun with Guiu, it's indeed very enjoyable to spend time with him. I had to laugh when I read that you even got an introduction to stock trading :) We're looking forward to see you soon again in Barcelona, next time around you can try our Tapas tour, where we take you to our favorite local restaurant or our winery tour, where we take you to a beautiful winery outside of Barcelona to taste some great local wines.
Skeptics go for this tour!
Jenny_B, Oct 2023
Most favorite part was my skeptical husband loved it! Guiu was a great guide/driver and filled us with so much information on architecture, history, personalities, and anecdotes. A totally safe and fun time. Thanks so much!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Hello Jenny, Thank you so much for your kind words! We are really happy even the skeptics could be convinced our tours are great :)
Awesome, informative and super fun experience in Barcelona.
Jimmie_R, Sep 2023
This was a fantastic experience. We had just one day in Barcelona and we were able to see so much of the city, that we could never have done via car or bus. Our motorcycle/sidecar escort guide named Guiu was absolutely superb. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona itself, but also all of the landmarks he took us to see. And there were many. It was a beautiful day, and he took full advantage of showing us all he could get us to. We had several stops where we could get out and take photos, shop in local stores, take a potty break or water breaks. He was very personable, spoke superb English which was so helpful to us. He kept us informed the whole trip via headphones in our helmets. We give him all the stars possible for making this trip a top highlight of our visit to Barcelona, and Europe in general. He was an extremely safe driver and my husband on the back of the bike, and me in sidecar, always felt very safe and were able to fully enjoy the whole experience. We just had so much fun riding with him and waving to people and seeing so many smile and wave back in awe. You could just see that they knew we were having a wonderful time watching us scooting through the busy streets and local areas. Definitely recommend this tour, and if you can get Guiu as your guide, you will have the best time.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Hello, Thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate it! Besides being a great person and a fantastic Guide, Guiu is also a former motorcycle instructor with hundreds of thousands of kilometers all over Europe and Africa under his belt, and it shows!
Don’t miss out this is great way to see Barcelona
Lisa_B, Sep 2023
This was such a great way to see the beautiful city of Barcelona.. our guide was very knowledgeable.. great fun and worked the tour around our requirements.. Would do this tour again
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Hello Lisa, Thank you very much for your review! For next time, you can try our tapas tour, where we take you to our favorite place for some typical tapas or the winery tour, where you can try some excellent local wines with a view over the beautiful catalan landscape.
Best Introduction to Barcelona We Could Imagine
Beverly_J, Sep 2023
To get right to the point, this is an absolutely amazing way to see Barcelona and was one of the highlights of our entire vacation. We arrived exhausted after a long day of travel and advised our host that we might cut our tour short to get some rest. He seemed to take this as a personal challenge and provided an action-packed adventure for the next 3.5 hours. There was never a moment when we considered stopping the tour to return to our hotel. We saw all the sites we wanted. The narration and history lessons we received along the way were even more impressive than the attractions themselves. We felt we truly understood Barcelona culture and had a much greater appreciation for the food, attractions, shopping, and people we met throughout the rest of our stay. We recommend this as a "Must Do" for anyone capable of riding on the back of a motorcycle or in a sidecar.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Dear Beverly, Thank you for trusting BrightSide Tours and for your wonderful review! We have many customers taking the tour upon arrival after very long flights, and whislt it may feel like a risky choice, once on the bike, the time flies by. We are very happy you had such a great experience and thank you for sharing it with the travel community! Until the next time around!
Great way to see the city
ncoush, Aug 2023
This was a really fun way to see the city. Our driver, Joe, was very safe. He gave us great commentary and showed us the entire city. We were able to go places a bus or other vehicle couldn’t go. Highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Hello, Thank you very much for your nice words. Joe is a great guide, we are happy you enjoyed it so much. The manouvrability of the sidecars makes our tours unique, because we can access places that bigger vehicles just can't. Thank you and we hope to see you soon again!
Great drivers / tour...
Shena_T, Jul 2023
