So much fun! - We had the best time with Marianna! She was so knowledgeable, kind, and patient with our twin 9 y/o boys. It's a great way to see the city and experience places you might not have come across on your own. 😊 Highly recommend!

Great bike tour through Barcelona - Had a really nice tour with Ophelie! She showed us some quarters outside of the city centre and the bike tour had a good pacing to get to know the city.

10/10 tour and sightseeing opportunity for Barcas hidden gems - Wonderful way to see and learn about Barcelona, absolutely wonderful guide Leticia. Definitely recommend it! Hidden gems, lovely and open communication and storytelling by Leti. Good tempo and suitable for families with all kinds of biking experiences. Coffee stops and breaks including toilet breaks are included. Ended with lovely little tapas (on your own money) and chill with little chat and recommendations for the rest of the city. The most wholesome experience and day in Barcelona from our stay here!

Off the Beaten Path in Barcelona - This is a wonderful bike tour which covered many of the areas we did not see during our other tours. My wife and I thoroughly touring cities by bike and this one certainly did not disappoint. Our guide Augustine was both colorful and knowledgeable. He did a wonderful job explaining the historical perspectives of Barcelona. The only small negative was finding the tour starting point as the signage is rather small and it is a shared location.

Bella very informative and fantastic! - Very good bike ride. 3.45 hours. Stopped about 10 times to see interesting spots. Very Relaxed. E-bikes were easy to use and the route was easy with the fantastic cycle network in Barcelona. Tour guide Bella fantastic, very interesting and also caring if someone was a bit slow (me). Well worth it! Love to do again.

Go Local - This is our 2nd time in Barcelona. Last year we did 2 walking tours and a bike tour all of which were centered in the Gothic Quarter. We chose Steel Donkeys this year, because it promised a tour of the real Barcelona. The tour did not disappoint—it was a tour of the El Born area. We felt like we were locals as we biked through the area. Julio was a great guide and storyteller and led us to multiple gems located throughout the El Born area. The pace of the tour and the bike routes through El Born area were perfect. We would highly recommend Steel Donkeys and Julio as a Guide.
