Overview

A fun, laid-back bike tour that gives you a great overview of Barcelona’s amazing architecture, history and street culture. Through your local guide, you will experience Barcelona from its beaches to its back streets, monumental buildings to its bodegas, and from its Roman ruins to its romantic hideaways. The Barcelona Bike tour is the best way to see this fabulous city.

The tour takes approximately 3 hours, the bikes are comfortable and easy to ride, even for inexperienced cyclists who don’t know a handlebar from a tapas bar. Groups are small (max 10 per group) so it’s friendly and intimate, there’s time to talk, take photos and enjoy all the amazing sights. This is a great activity for families, as the tour is suitable for all ages. Child seats are available. Safety first: we use 90% bike lanes and pedestrianised streets.
