3 hours well spent, learnt a lot and saw a lot. Excellent guide Carolina from Poland. - Great cycle ride, saw so much of the old city and around the sea front. Leisurely but covered a lot of ground. Very informative guide Carolina and no trouble with traffic. Few minor inclines nothing difficult and bikes good. We all enjoyed it and very good value.

Visit the highlights of Barcelona - What a great tour! We hit all of the major sites for a brief overview of each. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable having grown up in Barcelona. Learning how to navigate the city by bike was useful as well. Highly recommend!!

Highly recommend this bike tour! - I do not bike and this was so fun. Kieran (sp?) the tour guide was so good at leading us and making sure we were all good and safe. Learned a lot of history which is just what I wanted. Couldn’t believe how many bike lanes exist in Barcelona. I had so much fun and even made friends with another solo biker. Definitely recommend as a must do.

Great tour, definitely recommend - Kieran was one of the most caring and genuine tour guides I've ever had and his tips were very helpful. Definitely book this tour at the start of your trip so you can go through the rest of the trip with the tips and places he mentions.

Excellent bike tour - The bike tour with Carolina was excellent. The bikes were well maintained and easy to use. The route taken was an easy ride and we saw a lot of places that we may not have visited and were able to return to at a later time.
