See a different side of Barcelona, on this 4-hour bike ride off the beaten path.

Ride in small groups of just 8 people max. (plus guide), and feel a closer connection to the city.

Discover obscure but beautiful attractions such as the Hospital de Sant Pau, and the amazing neoclassical cemetery of Poblenou.

This activity is not about seeing the major sights and hearing facts you could read in a guidebook, it's all about heading out on your bike to parts of the city that many locals don't even know about, in the company of a knowledgeable and passionate guide!

No two tours are the same, but some of the cool experiences that await you include visiting a flea market, learning about Barcelona's art nouveau and modern architecture, admiring street art, stopping for pastries and tapas in a local bar, and riding along Barceloneta beach.

Our small group ethos means that, unlike standard bike tours of the city, you’ll not only be learning about Barcelona, you’ll be living it too!

Really pleasant and interesting trip around parts of Barcelona that I wouldn’t have known or understood on my own. Bella was knowledgable and tailored points of interest and information to the people on the group. Cycling was a good way to cover the ground than walking. Although it wasn’t a bike ‘ride’ as such, it was great to experience the fantastic cycling infrastructure and active travel culture in the city.

We had a great tour with Ale! We learned so much and would have never gone to the places she took us. It was the perfect amount of riding and stops. Bikes were comfy, enjoyed the rest stops and the graffiti opportunity.

It was a bit boring at first. Lots of stopping and listening. It was stressful to ride through the city and dodge tourists. The last hour was good-we got to add our own graffiti to a wall. And then we peacefully rode along the beach. Lots of boring facts though

Ale was an excellent guide. She gave me good insight into life in Catolonia. I chose this trip as I wanted to see places that were beyond Sagrada as I had already seen these. The tour satisfied me and getting around on the bike allowed a very relaxed itinerary which covered many areas that had I walked I would have been exhausted.
It was a little difficult to find because of the work going on at Port Olympia for the America’s Cup. It is on the bottom level near the yachts.
Make sure you feel confident on a bike before joining a trip.

This was our first trip to Barcelona. Myself, husband, and 2 teenagers enjoyed every minute of it. Bella, our guide, was so informative and fun. We felt safe, learned about some of the local culture and historical sites, and would definitely do it again.

Not what I thought I signed up. Our guide (from Argentina, living in Barcelona for 20 years) wasn't a good leader and just rode off at times without people from the group. Three people in the group got left behind one time because she rode off without making sure everyone knew where we were going. She also took us to many small alleys where we could hardly ride and had to dismount and walk the bikes many times. On top of that, she took us to areas where her friends had shops and tried to get us to go inside but everyone in the group was frustrated by that point and knew what she was trying to do. Would not recommend it if you're an experienced cyclist and trying to explore the city via the vast bike lanes they have.

Had trouble finding where the tour began due to construction in the area, but once I did, it was a lot of fun. Guide was very personable, informative and did a great job moving us through the route that at times went through some narrow alleys with lots of pedestrians. Learned a lot and would highly recommend exploring Barcelona by taking this bike tour.

Biking is the best way to see all the various districts of this beautiful city and it can be done in 1/2 day. Then you can go back to the places you liked the most for more in depth touring. Bella, our guide from Germany, was patient and knowledgeable with a great attitude. We took breaks when needed and spent a wonderful day with her and our group. Just be mindful you ride through some really narrow streets with pedestrian crowds and the street traffic crosswalks can be challenging--you've got to be careful and prepared.
