Steel Donkey is no dead donkey!! It's a bucking bronco!! - we had Alex as our guide who was super fun and kept us moving so that we saw so much of barcelona. She showed us old and new and and peppered it all with interesting facts - was never long or boring - and had so much passion for what she was doing. It really was the highlight of our tour - and her suggestion for tapas was delicious. really is a great thing to do to get to see the real barcelona in all it's glory!

Fantastic alternative tour of Barcelona - Alejandra was amazing, super friendly and knowledgeable. Took us to lots of places off the beaten track that we wouldn’t have come across by ourselves. She was lovely with our kids, and her enthusiasm was infectious! A must do if you are in Barcelona and want to see it from a local perspective. Thank you so much Ale, from Emma, Steph, Seren and Louie!

Bike tour Barca - Excellent 4 hours learning about history and geography of the city. Loop from start down to new town back to city and along seafront. Alexandra was excellent guide and spoke really good English.

Wonderful bike tour of Barcelona - This tour was exactly what I was hoping it would be. I already had other plans to see the major Barcelona locations, so i didn't want to do too much repeating. Fortunately, this tour wound us through many interesting neighborhoods that I wouldn't have seen on my own and provided great historical information during multiple stops along the way. Even though a portion of it went through Old Town where I'd had an earlier walking tour, there was so much new information on this tour that it was worth it to do that part twice. Telly was our guide, and she took great care of us throughout the tour.

Barcelona 2025 steel donkey bike tour - Awesome way to see the back streets of old Barcelona. Exploring the Gothic area and beach front. Stopping at some of the best bakery “#funky bakery” (must try pistachio pastery) Mariana was a breath of fresh air knowledgeable and lots of fun.

Fun informative tour with a great guide! - Really informative and interesting tour with a very knowledgeable and fun guide. It can be a bit crazy zigzagging in between pedestrians so you need to have your wits about you!

Great guide too many riders - Our guide Ale was amazing. She led us on a lovely tour where we saw a great deal of Barcelona. It was a bit frustrating as the tour company combined two groups so there were 13 of us instead of the 8 person tour we booked. Given that several people were not strong riders the large group was slow and we had to skip our lunch spot. Despite this, seeing a new city from a bike is still the best!
