Guided cycle hire around hills of Barcelona - We booked a morning ride on the day of the Barcelona Marathon which our partners were running. It was easy to book and Claudio always responded to enquiries quickly and was flexible to our requirements The route culminating at the 500m church was excellent with outstanding views across Barcelona Highly recommended

Great views - As of this writing, Claudio had 281 excellent reviews, one very good and one lousy, so you get the general idea. I'll just review the Hills of Barcelona, which I did yesterday with Claudio, who teamed me up with another rider from the USA. We were compatible, which was great. The bikes were in excellent condition, as you might imagine. The three hills were not tough. The other rider was short on time, so we didn't do the fourth optional climb. The view from Tibidabo - after a 7K climb at maybe 4% - was beautiful. From there, we short-cutted back on a somewhat technical descent, but for any experienced rider one that isn't be too demanding, but fun. This tour - THOB - is not for inexperienced riders, as you might imagine. That's the only caution I offer. Good luck to all. I think you're gonna like this one.

Very nice tour, I can... - Very nice tour, I can strongly recommend! Claudio knows all the best roads around Barcelona and you have a beautiful view to Barcelona from top. Thank you Claudio

Montefusco Cycling w/Claudio - 100% recommend! - Claudio was an excellent guide! It was an amazing day exploring the hills of Barcelona to reach Tibidabo. During the descent Claudio suggested a stop at local shop - Guava Bikes. Talked to the owners about their really cool gravel bikes designed in Barcelona. Definitely want to try one on my next visit. Since we expected a hot and humid day, Claudio picked me up at the hotel for an earlier start. I had an Orbea Orca for the ride - it was well maintained and ready to go. 100% recommend Montefusco Cycling - don't miss it! So much more to explore when I'm back in Barcelona.

The Hills of Barcelona are alive with -- cycling - I thoroughly recommend Montefusco Cycling for a wonderful taste of cycling in and around Barcelona. Because of scheduling and doing other things in Barcelona I requested a bike and personal tour ride the day before. Although all the scheduled tours were full, the owner was able to arrange a ride in the Barcelona hills with his son as guide. He had a great Orbed carbon bike ready in the (almost perfect) size, installed my pedals and adjusted the saddle to the right height. They arrived on time at our Airbnb and I then had a terrific 4+ hour ride heading out of Barcelona and up to the higher hill around Barcelona, Tibidabu which has an amusement park and beautiful church. If one has more time -- and is faster than I am - there are several other hills to climb for an extended climbing day. Bruno - my riding buddy - was a terrific companion, describing the various areas we went through as well as a the current stages of TDF. Very glad I took advantage of the tie and highly recommend Montefusco Cycling for a great experience experiencing cycling around Barcelona.

Great cycling - Great cycling days with Claudio! The bike was great, with nice fitting. Claudio knows all the nice roads around and is an avid and passionate cyclist, i had a great time! 100% recommended !

Un Día Especial - Very personalized tour of the Hills of Barcelona. Great roads. The climb to Tibidabo was manageable for me… despite not having many hills where I live. After taking in the magnificent view of Barcelona, we descended back down and rode through some of the suburbs to an enjoyable coffee and sandwich break. Claudio answered so many questions I’ve had about Catalan and the culture. He’s very focused on rider safety. A special day for me as it was my first ride in Europe. I hope to be back! Thanks Claudio!!

Exceptional service in many ways - I did actually four tours with Claudio two in Barcelona and the other two in Girona. Claudio is very professional, has excellent equipment, perfect knowledge of the terrain, is flexible and adaptable and generous with his time. His gastronomic tips are on the spot. The Tibidabo ride in Barcelona is a must, the Costa Brava ride is one of the most beautiful I have ever done. Highly recommended!

Great start to Barcelona vacation - Great bike ride and orientation to the city and it’s environment. Claudio was super accommodating for me and my husband (who is not into cycling as much as I am). Great climbs and conversations. Highly recommend!!!

High quality bikes but very rude customer service - While Claudio certainly rents high quality bikes and provides good route options around Barcelona, unfortunately he treated me with utter disrespect. I took a fall while cycling and damaged the bar tape on the rental bike. At the end of the tour, I told him that I would pay for the damage. The price he quoted to me seemed high for bar tape replacement, so I asked for him to provide a receipt. He did indeed provide the receipt but also wrote the following messages to me: "If you think this is expensive, there is no doubt: you never went to a shop to replace a handlebar tape. Shame on you." When I replied to say that he had been rude, he responded with: "I don't think that "shame on you" is that offensive. I don't know in what world you live. I see your lack of ability and care for the items also your lack of respect for the job of others. Disgusting." If you do decide to rent from Claudio, please be aware that he is pleasant when all goes smoothly but becomes very rude very quickly.
