Great way to cover Barcelona in a day! - Johannes provided us a very fun and informative day seeing a lot of Barcelona which was perfect as our time in Barcelona was fairly short. This is a great way to cover a lot of territory quickly.

A great Day in Barcelona - We did a full-day tour with Johannes, we had a wonderful day, being able to see everything in Barcelona we needed to see on a tight schedule. Johannes was very pleasant to deal with, the day just flew past. We caught a lot of attention throughout the day which made us feel like royalty :)

Extraordinary Tour with Lorenzo - Our one day tour on a private van with Lorenzo just made our short trip to Barcelona an unforgettable one. We have included entrance to Sagrada Familia and to Park Guell to our tour and we are truly glad we did. The cava on the top with a full city view was cherry on top! Lorenzo’s energy and knowledge made the tour so special and fun. We did nit understand how 8 hours went by this quick. Definitely a must for every Barcelona trip!

Lorenzo steers us across the best experience - This was our 1st time to Barcelona and our tour guide over-exceeded our expectations!! Lorenzo was absolutely amazing!! We didn’t know the meeting point and he was so gracious and patient with us. He came and picked us up and didn’t skimp on the sites despite our delay. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to spend the day with!! He even left us with suggestions on places to go back and see as well as restaurant recommendations. I’d encourage anyone visiting this beautiful city for the first time to take this tour!! Request Lorenzo!! He’s the best!

The only way to see Barcelona - My wife and I have never experienced a tour such as a motorcycle side car tour. It was amazing. Our tour guide, Guiu was wonderful. Funny, informative and very passionate about his city of Barcelona. He took us all across town- giving us an inside look and history of this fabulous city. For lunch he suggested a quiet little "out of the way" historical Taverna- and the food was absolutely delicious. One the best lunches we had in Barcelona. We would certainly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a fun and enlightening day in Barcelona. Ask for Guiu- you'll love him!

Very fun and educational tour - Joe was very knowledgeable and very adaptable to small changes we did to our tour. Motorcycle tour is very fun and can get through places a car wouldn’t be able to.

BEST tour I've ever done in any city! - I've traveled to many cities and taken many tours. This was hands down the best tour experience myself and my family (husband and two kids aged 11 and 13) have ever experienced. Joao and Allesandro spent 8 hours with us over the course of two days showing us all the highlights of Barcelona (the must-see attractions) but also parts of the city most tourists never get to experience. Off the beaten path spots, local neighborhoods, all on a super fun way to get around the city. We felt absolutely safe the whole time, and the tour was completely customizable. As Joao put it, riding the motorcycles makes you feel and see the city in an entirely different way. You will not be disappointed in this experience - trust me! And my kids LOVED it.

The best tour in Barcelona - We had such a great time in Barcelona! The tour was really interesting and it was so fun going around in the sidecar of this amazing motorcycle. The helmets were equipped with a headset and a microphone so we didn't miss a thing and we could also ask as many questions as we wanted. I totally recommend it and we would definitely do it again.

An amazing day in Barcelona! - Our guide and driver for the day, Alessandro, met us outside of the cruise terminal right on time, and after introducing himself, pulled out a map and gave us an overview of what we would see and do on our tour. Next, Alessandro fitted us with our helmets, tested the wireless headsets, and since it was a chilly morning, pulled out a wool blanket for my wife (who had the sidecar seat). With everything in order, we were off! The tour route was a very thorough drive through the entire city, stopping along the way for pictures and commentary. We were given the option of going inside Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell – we decided to only go inside Sagrada Familia (which is amazing) so that we had more time to spend touring the city. A few of the many highlights of our day – • Alessandro was always the slowest driver, usually taking side streets, and often pulling over to allow faster cars to pass. Not only did this make us feel safe but allowed us to soak in all of the sights. • Alessandro made frequent stops for us to stretch our legs and take pictures. One stop was at an overlook high above Barcelona, and Alessandro had a small bottle of sparkling white wine for us to enjoy. • Throughout the day, we were stopped by a lot of folks on the street for pictures of the sidecar – that was fun! • For lunch, Alessandro gave us several different options based on what we liked and didn’t like, and then dropped us off at a very nice Tapas restaurant. A great choice with good food! • Because we were on a motorcycle sidecar, parking was never a problem. Alessandro was able to park as close as possible to Sagrada Familia, right at the front door of the restaurant, and in the middle of the Gothic quarter for our walking tour. • Our tour ended in the Gothic quarter, and Alessandro offered to either drive us back to the cruise terminal or let us walk. We chose to walk – after being on a motorcycle for 8+ hours, we needed to stretch our legs. Alessandro gave us great directions, and we had a nice walk along the marinas. Overall, an amazing day. Can’t say enough about Alessandro – he was very knowledgeable as a tour guide, very courteous, extremely helpful (he helped us with a little shopping), and gave us a great day in Barcelona. Thanks Alessandro!
