Discover Barcelona’s highlights and hidden gems on this 3-hour bike tour, led by an expert guide. Cycle along the city’s streets at a leisurely pace and see top attractions such as La Sagrada Familia and La Rambla boulevard. Learn about the Catalan capital’s captivating history as you weave through the Gothic Quarter’s winding streets and visit popular local spots like Parc de la Ciutadella, as well as the buzzing neighborhoods of La Barceloneta, Las Ramblas and El Born.
Meet your guide in central Barcelona, strap on your helmet and then pedal off through the streets. The pace is leisurely, allowing you to hear your guide’s commentary and soak up the sights as you go. Depending on the order of the day’s itinerary, perhaps begin with a cycle along the seafront to Port Vell. Pause to snap photos of the historical port and beach before continuing on to the Columbus Monument, a towering statue dedicated to Christopher Columbus, and La Barceloneta. Next, pedal up the famous La Rambla boulevard. Soak up the hustle and bustle as you pass by the food and flower stalls, and then turn off down a side street into the vibrant neighborhood of Las Ramblas to explore lesser-known streets and Plaça Reial. Continue on to the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic). Ride through the shaded alleys and perhaps pause for photos by the impressive Barcelona Cathedral. Then, cruise through the bohemian district of El Born on route to Parc de la Ciutadella. Pedal along the idyllic, palm-lined promenades and look out for La Cascada, a Baroque fountain created by architect Josep Fontsère. Make one of your final stops of the tour by the city’s most iconic structure: La Sagrada Familia. Marvel at its multicolored towers and intricate structure, and learn about its fascinating history and modernist architect Antoni Gaudi from your guide. Other places visited include the Olympic Village (Vila Olimpica), the Arc de Triomf and Gaudi’s Casa Batlló, as well as Passeig de Gràcia, Plaça de Catalunya and Plaça Sant Felip Neri. Your tour then concludes back at the original departure point. Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required.
Just do this. Its one of the best things I have done in my 5 trips to Barcelona.

Fantastic bicycle tour around Barcelona! Our guide Q was lovely and so knowledgable even though she is originally from The Netherlands. It was great to have a take on Barcelona through a recent residents eyes :) Doing the tour on our first day helped us navigate our way around Barcelona!

We didnt go on this exact tour - we booked within 24 hours and they werent able to find us an english speaking guide. But they were able to put us on a similar tour later in the day. It was really great! The guide was really knowledable and it was a great way to get around and see the city. I would definitlry recommend it.

Great fun! Our tour guide Que shared some great info. Good way to see the city. Just be aware that not all of Barcelona has bike lanes and there's lots of traffic so you do need to pay attention. And bring water if it's hot!

We had a wonderful time on this bike tour. Our tour guide was really great. She knew so much about the history of Barcelona and everything we saw. We never went to fast and were able to stay together as a group. We had a blast on this tour.

Tour was booked only with a German tour guide. Even this was confirmed by Viator, tour was only with an English tour guide. My complain is still pending after one week.

This was a great way to get out and see Barcelona. Q was just the greatest guide you could ask for. She knew Barcelona well and took the time to talk about each location. We have been on over a dozen tours these past two weeks traveling through Italy and Spain and this was the best.

We were the only people on the trip. however, it was very enjoyable and informative. We were able to decide where we went and the ride itself is quite leisurely, so people need not be worried if they feel they can't keep up. Most of the route we took was flat and there was only one slight uphill section up to Sagrada Familia._br/_ Recommend this way of seeing the city!

Our Booking for two persons hadn't come trough to the bike shop - but they arranged a guide specially for us - so we had a private guide! Well done and in that way we had a snapshot of centre of Barcelona and history!
