Great time! - Our guide Julio was awesome! Great family experience. Our kids are 11 and 12 and it was totally fine for them. Julio knows a lot about the history of the city and made the ride entertaining and fun.

Yes! Our guide Laureline was great. This was a fantastic experience. Thank you Laureline! - Our bike guide Laureline was fantastic. She was professional, kind and informative. The bike tour experience itself was great. Our guide Laureline did a wonderful job of not only giving us information, but it was not boring. We had our 10 year child with us. We feel safe, not rushed, learned a lot but also it was relaxed and fun. The exertion was fine. I suppose if you are "out of shape" and find it difficult to ride a bike, well, then perhaps look for something else. But this was not difficult. It was quite lovely. I cannot say enough great things about our guide. She was also so kind to offer more information and tips for our trip. This bike tour is great for families, work tours, friends, and singles. Anyone that has the ability to ride a bike and wants to explore. It was cool. You cover a lot of ground via bike, and you can then decide where you would want to go back and visit on your own time. Thank you Laureline for a wonderful experience, conversation, and your kindness. I would highly recommend this tour. She was also great with taking photos, I did not post all of mine because I chose not to post my family, but she took great photos for us. - I recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes, a backpack or fanny back, and bring a water. Helmets are not required for adults but they are for children. It was very safe. We are American with some Spanish speaking knowledge. Laureline spoke English very well, but also was fluent in other languages. Book this tour!

Great for our family! - We have kids ages 8 and 10, and this tour was perfect for our family of four. Lauraline was our guide, and she was preemptive to reach out to us prior to the tour to find the best fit of bikes for our kids. She reserved a tag-along trailer just in case our 8 year old couldn't manage the hand brakes, but said we could change our mind if we needed to. On the day of, she offered to meet up with us earlier to get started earlier. The whole tour, she was so personable and stayed very engaged with our family. We lucked out that there weren't any other families joining us so we had a private tour! We finished the tour at the same time we would have finished if we left the original time, which I thought was super generous of her, so we tipped her extra. She kept us off the heavily trafficked bike lanes for the kids' safety which I super appreciated too!

Fun, flexible while learning about the main history of Barcelona. - We were very lucky to have had Laurien as our English guide as she is a very helpful, kind, flexible and understanding guide, for both the adults and kids. She speaks many languages and explained the history of monuments and locations clearly for the kids and adults, without too much information. We got to cover the whole tour even though extra time was taken up with delays at certain stops but Laurien never made the group feel under pressure. Highly recommend a tour with Laurien for a mixed tour of adults and kids of all ages. Thanks a lot Laurien and for the tips! Family van Tuijl x

Best way to tour Barcelona for every age! - Laureline was an amazing guide for our group of eight ranging in age from 8 yo to 82 yo! She was easygoing, enthusiastic and was always aware of everyone’s needs (including my mom who rode on the tandem bike). She gave some great history and information without overload and really knew her audience. She brought us on easily navigable routes and was flexible in terms of pace and timing. She extended our tour by an extra hour because we got a slow start. It was better than we expected and she showed us all the top spots including the beach. It was an incredibly memorable experience and I could not recommend it more.

Excellent Bike Tour for Families - Bike Barcelona with Laureline was our favorite day in Barcelona. We have three children of very different ages (7, 14, and 18) and many times on a holiday it can be difficult to find an activity that everyone can enjoy but this one made our whole family very happy. All smiles, and lots of fun! Our 7 year old could keep up with us on her own bike perfectly and the tour was on a very family friendly route. Our tour guide Laureline was very thoughtful and patient with our children and gave historical tidbits that kept them engaged along the tour. The tour lasted the perfect amount of time, where our youngest was still happy and not too tired by the end. Our teenagers really enjoyed bicycling around the city and it was great to see them so happy. I highly recommend and would do this again!

I 100% recommend - For our Team Building, we chose the guided walking tour of the old town, which was a great experience! Laureline is an excellent guide, and taught us a lot about this part of the city. It was very interesting and beautiful! We recommend it 100%!

Fun tour! - Laureline was a great guide and we had so much fun on this bike tour. Recommend seeing the city by bike rather than on foot because you can cover so much more ground! We were able to bike all around the city and inside the parks too. It was fabulous!

Great family fun! - We had a great tour with Laureline. The meeting points was easy to access, and best of all my 5 year really enjoyed the experience. Laureline was knowledgeable, had interesting facts for kids, and ensured we had breaks and photos throughout. A great way to tour Barcelona as a family. I highly recommend if you had children to do this tour!
