Barcelona Electric Bike Tour Including La Sagrada Familia
Barcelona, Spain
See Barcelona with maximum fun and minimum effort on a 3-hour electric bike tour, led by a local guide! Safe and easy to ride, the bike has an electric motor that starts as soon as you pedal, meaning you can see the city sights without losing your breath. See Barcelona attractions such as La Monumental bullring and El Born Centre Cultural; discover the tranquility of Parc de la Ciutadella; and enjoy 1.5 hours of free time to explore Antoni Gaudi’s UNESCO-listed cathedral, La Sagrada Familia, with a skip-the-line entrance ticket.
Meet your guide in central Barcelona, and hop aboard your electric bike: a regular two-wheeled bicycle with a handy electric motor that kicks in when you start pedaling. Riding your electric bike is simple, but your guide will deliver a comprehensive safety briefing to put you at ease.
Put on your helmet, and then pedal along the streets around Barcelona Cathedral (Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia), one of the city’s Gothic masterpieces. Gaze in awe at the cathedral’s exterior to see the mythical gargoyle creatures that adorn the roof, and then continue past the Arc de Triomf. Hear how the monument was built for the 1888 Barcelona World Fair, and has since become one of the city’s most distinctive landmarks.
After stopping for photos, cycle onward to La Monumental bullring to see where Barcelona’s traditional bullfights take place. Learn about the controversial sport that remains deeply ingrained in Spanish society, and then enter Barcelona’s central park: Parc de la Ciutadella.
Cycle along the sheltered pathways that weave through the park, enjoying the tranquil surrounds, and head out onto the streets of El Born to see one of Barcelona’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Pass El Born Centre Cultural, home to a series of exhibits about life in the city in the early 18th century, before arriving at La Sagrada Familia.
Park your bike and head past the crowds with your skip-the-line entrance ticket to enjoy roughly 1.5 hours of free time inside the UNESCO-listed cathedral. Make use of an audio guide if you wish, and hear how the famously unfinished monument is set for completion around 2026, in time for the centenary of its architect: the inimitable Gaudi.
Having explored the cathedral, hop back on your bike and start cycling back to the start point with your guide. If time permits, enjoy a last photo stop outside two other Gaudi creations, the private houses of La Pedrera (Casa Milá) and Casa Batlló. Then, continue back to the bike shop where your tour finishes.
This tour is fabulous ! So much fun ! And you see so much of Barcelona . Our tour guide was very good as well . Would definitely do this tour again ! We did get lost several times trying to find the office . There are worse things to happen to you than getting lost in Barcelona !

My husband and I toured Barcelona by Electric Bikes with our amazing tour guide Júlia. She was extremely knowledgeable of the area and it’s history. She was very cautious with our ride through the streets of Barcelona. The inside of La Familia Sagrada was Amazing! Our favorite day of our vacation!!

This was so fun! Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun to to talk to. It was nice seeing areas of Barcelona we would not gone to. Also getting the history of the city and architecture was very interesting. It was also great skipping the line at the Sarada Familia. We enjoyed visiting the Sagrada Familia and our guide gave us plenty of time to see this amazing Church. We would do this tour again.

Fantastic ride to Sagrada Familia - wish it were longer! Our guide was knowledgable and very friendly, and she looked after us - 10 bikers in Barcelona! Getting to the highpoint skip the line at Sagrada Familia was easy and fun learning about the city's colourful past. The Sagrada Familia is such a spectacular sight, Gaudi was a genius. On the way back we stopped at Casa Mila and Casa Batllo, fantastic ride that will not disappoint!

We had 9 in our group on the e bikes and Manuel our guide did a great job showing us around the city._br/_ He has an excellent local knowledge and spoke excellent English and engaged with the group easily._br/_ The bikes were in good order and the 4 hours passed very quickly._br/_ Highly recommended.
Review by: Carolyn M, September 2017
Marcel our guide was terrific! The bikes were a blast, easy to use and zero effort. He was passionate about his country and culture and we saw all the Gaudi influences through his instruction. The Sagrada Famillia was mind blowing and it's worth the extra to tour inside.
Review by: Natface, August 2017
Great tour Guide, very informative tour of the city! The bikes were so comfortable and easy to use, even in the Barcelona heat._br/_ There was nothing hard or scary about this tour, from finding the tour office to biking around the city everything was easy, calm and very enjoyable._br/_ If you want to see Barcelona from a different perspective this tour is a must. The city of Barcelona has very small and narrow streets so most of the sites you see are not accessible via a bus, the bike is your best and most enjoyable bet!
Review by: Amy M, July 2017
Loved this experience a great deal! It was way more than just bike-riding - which was great, by the way...I could get used to the electric way of riding! This was a history lesson, a chance to meet others, a visual blast, and just an all-round great outing for just the right amount of time. Highly recommended!

DO IT! if there is one thing in Barcelona you must do it is this. there is no better way to see the beautiful sights and sounds of this city than with an E-bike tour. such an easy way to get around and cover a majority of the city. thoroughly enjoyed our tour with a local guide who took us to some of the cities more secretive spots and gave us an in depth history lesson of this amazing city._br/_ it was a highlight of our four weeks in Europe!
Review by: Stuart W, May 2017
Fabulous tour with the friendliest and most welcoming guide Ale!_br/_ We had such a great time, from touring the city and seeing sites we may otherwise have missed, getting great knowledge along the way from Gaudi's houses to historical information about Barcelona. Opting to head in to La Sagrada Familia for the Audio Tour just completed the day for us - what a truly special place! We were blown away by the beauty and story you can see in the basilica. _br/_ Perfect tour with great comfortable bikes, both myself and my wife had a great time!!

Excellent time. Our guide was named Montserr and she was superb. Really knew the history-and the electric bikes were a blast.
Review by: kathywilliamson, September 2016
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Monsa was a delightful guide! She has a great passion for her city! She was very knowledgeable in the history of Barcelona. She made our tour fun by giving us questions to find the answers to! Trying E bikes for the first time was fun, too! Skip the line tickets for the Segrada Familia are well worth this tour! Beautiful city, terrific guide! We fell in love with Barcelona!
Review by: Debbiewing, August 2016
Excellent tour! The bikes were easy to ride and Ale' was great! There was a mixup about the meeting place that was quickly remedied. We went Sun morning and the streets were clear. Love the bike lanes on the street with their own stop signs! Would recommend for anyone who wants to try out the ebikes, see some city highlights and skip-the-line La Sagrada Familia, we got right in, no problem!

Hi.
Review by: Wenjun J, July 2016
I wish the visit to La Sagrada Familia was at the beginning of the tour so we didn't have to be rushed so much through the early sites of interest. Our guide seemed to be very focused on completing the tour within the set time limit and didn't give us enough time at any of stops except for La Sagrada Familia.
Review by: elizabeth o, November 2015
This bike tour was wonderful! Agatha took the time to acquaint us with both the safety guidelines and features of the bike. She also began the tour in an open area where we could practice. She was knowledgeable and friendly, answering questions and adding insight to our stops on the tour. We were like the mother duck with her ducklings in tow, winding our way through parks and streets, along bike paths and lanes. Such a delightful way to see Barcelona. I highly recommend this tour!
Review by: J A T, November 2015
We had a wonderful bike tour around Barcelona, including entry to the Sagrada Familia. We were escorted by the lovely Agatha who speaks fluent English and German so all our group could understand what she was saying. The bikes were very well maintained and the ladies' ones were brand new. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour, especially if you haven't got long in the city as you cover the distances so quickly. Our 11 year old also really enjoyed it. Agatha also recommended us places to eat out and was happy to recommend other sites to visit. Altogether a very good experience.
Review by: Scott G, November 2015
Loved it! Highly recommend. Super fun way to see Barcelona. Guide gave us great suggestions for dinners and lunch, plus some extra activities.
Review by: Frank M, October 2015
Our tour guide, Chaavi, was excellent, energetic and very knowledgeable. It was raining, but that didn't stop this group. The rain slickers provided were of good quality and really made the experience a pleasant one. I highly recommend this excursion. We learned so much about Barcelona's history, saw the beautiful sights in a four-hour time period. This was time well spent.
Review by: sue n, August 2015
This tour hit all the spots I really wanted to see. Our guide was superb, he was very knowledgeable about Gaudi's architecture. The electric bikes were very easy to use and fun. It was great they didn't cancel our tour despite being the only two on the tour.
Review by: lloyd k, July 2015
The guide was wonderful. Very friendly and personable.
Review by: Louise M, July 2015
Enjoyed it! We all had a good time riding the bikes even with the heat. The church was quite a sight to see.
Review by: Lisa B, June 2015
Xavi was a super guide, giving us lots of interesting information about all the sites. The electric bikes are terrific - so easy - make the ride such fun. Saw lots of Gaudi's works and toured the Sagrada Familia on skip-the-line with audio guide included. The time flew by. Highly recommend!
Review by: Heather B, June 2015
Brilliant fun. Friendly and very helpful when we missed our time slot, they organised another day. Would definitely recommend.

Review by: Deborah L. K, September 2014
We took a wonderful tour with Maria from Barcelona eBikes through the El Born and Gothic sections of Barcelona and got to see Gaudi's work, including La Sagrada Familia and the private houses. The electric bikes were easy and efficient and a great way to cover a lot of territory. Fortunately, we had our tour guide, Maria, to ourselves, and she made it very special for us.
Review by: Kathleen M. P, April 2014
WE had a great tour on the electric bikes with Maria, she was patient with us (We were late because of being unfamiliar with the town but we were able to finally figure it out and off we went on our adventure.) Maria was also VERY concerned about our safety in the busy wonderful town of Barcelona. I noticed other groups weaving in between cars and barely passing pedestrians. Our group was small and Maria was very interesting and gave us tips on where to go for the best chocolate and other interesting parts of the city. Our tour of Sagrada La Familia was great because our reservation was made early and the line was not so long. We learned local history while enjoying a beautiful day in the city of Barcelona. We would definitely recommend this tour! Thanks so much for making this experience one of our favorite memories of our time in Barcelona!
