What a fantastic way to experience parts of Barcelona we hadn’t seen. Going by e-bike let’s you cover a lot of ground, plus it’s fun! Rory, our guide, was outstanding - so knowledgeable and friendly. He conveyed just the right of information at each stop. Our group turned out to be only 4 people; my husband, me, and a French woman and her son. We truly had a small group tour. The tour is a nice mix of history and getting to ride along the Mediterranean. From a 19th century fountain and the Arc di Triomf to the port with the setting sun, the Basilica de Sant Maria Del Mar and tapas and wine, it was a great 3 +hours. I highly recommend booking this, and if you are lucky Rory will be your leader!

We had a fantastic experience on our e-bike tour with Michael! He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information along the way at each stop. He was also very attentive to the group, making sure everyone felt comfortable and that we were all having a great time. The tour was a wonderful way to explore the area, and Michael made the experience both enjoyable and informative. We also opted for the tapas addition after the tour, and the food was outstanding! It was a perfect way to finish the experience. We would highly recommend this tour, especially with Michael as your guide, and definitely recommend adding the tapas experience!
Within an hour of our arrival in Barcelona, we were getting an excellent introduction to Barcelona by our guide Agatha. She expertly and safely guided us to points of interest within neighborhoods and gave us a great history lesson. (She could be a stand in Rebecca Ferguson….) Tapas and drinks afterward were absolutely icing on the cake! Strongly recommended!
Agatha was our tour host. It was a brilliant tour. We covered so much ground, and saw a bit of everything! Agatha was so knowledgable and kind. Great experience, well worth it! We saw so much in the time and I’d definitely recommend! 10/10!
We enjoyed a wonderful tour that was one of the highlights of our trip. Rory showed us a lot of the city and shared a lot of its history.
This is a great tour. Aleix is funny, and charming, and energetic. The pace of the tour is very good. We were never rushed, or bored. This tour has a nice sampling of city highlights, and the ride along the beach was breathtaking. Drinks and tapas (included), at the end of the tour was great. The bar Aleix took us to was charming, small, and authentic, with very good food, and the cold beer was much appreciated after a warm day of riding.
Girlfriend and I had a tour with Agatha and some lively gentlemen from the Netherlands. We had some concerns biking in a big city for the first time, having not used e-bikes nor having been on a bike in 10+ years. Our concerns didn't last long, as the bikes themselves were easy to use, only providing moderate assistance as you pedalled and going at a very easy to control speed. The biking infrastructure is world class and biking on the roads felt as safe as biking through any park. The tour itself was wonderful with picturesque sites and Agatha filled us in on the history of Barcelona itself. The tour concluded with some lovely Wine, Tapas and conversation. 10/10 would recommend
we booked e-bike tour the day before, other people did not turn up so my wife and I ended up having a personal tour guide in Barcelona. Agatha was amazing guide, very knowledgeable, and gave us a very good history of Barcelona, including through non touristy area of Barcelona. Finished in a nice bar with tapas and cave. highly recommend.
Our experience was a 5 , it’s a wonderful way to see the city cover a lot of area and beat the crowds . Lily was a fantastic guide , with lots of great information and safety first .
Riding bikes was easy and a fun way to get around the city and see sites we wouldn’t have had the energy to walk to.
Rory was an excellent storyteller who really knew the history. He was a nice person to talk to and well rounded. Even though it rained the tour was still so much fun. The tapas and wine were delicious. Embrace what is given to you:()
Great experience with interesting and informative guide. Food and drinks were awesome as well. Enjoy
These were high quality Trex e-mtn.bikes. We had a great time on this tour! Toby and Simon were awesome guides! I found their knowledge of the area quite extensive and very interesting. They can also tailor your ride based on your riding abilities. We had a blast and would do it again! I highly recommend this e-bike tour!
Great tour great guide. Very fun
We would highly recommend this excursion! Such a cool way to see more of Barcelona. Our guide, Oriole, was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience so fun.
We had an excellent guide name Rory. He handled the entire tour expertly and was very well versed with the history. The bikes were good quality. The wine+tapas happens AFTER the eBike tour, not with. We had this confusion as it wasn't very clear from the tour description so do take note.
We had a great time with Aleix. He gave an interesting and thorough historical perspective to the ride through the old section and the branch area and tied it all together. The tapas was also delicious. Just a great experience.
An excellent Thursday evening tour with Oriol. His enthusiasm and knowledge made the tour. We really enjoyed his company and the insights he gave us to Barcelona. I highly recommend to any visitor to the city.
Aleix was a great guide on a sunny January day in stunning Barcelona! What a fun way to learn about the city’s history, see things you wouldn’t be able to see in a full day on foot, and end with a couple drinks and some Tapas! Amazing day, amazing guide! Good luck with the renovations Aleix ;)
Our guide Rory was a great guy. It was pouring with rain and most would have cancelled but there was only 2 of us booked on the tour and we decided to proceed. Fascinating insight into the city and great e-bikes. We thought there would be more than 1 tapas bar within the tour - that was the only disappointment. Thank you Rory.
Our guide Oriol (apologies i know i have mispelt yr name), was amazing as he was very informative, knowledgable with good english and best of all a proud local. The pace was good and we enjoyed it very much. The bikes were very good and easy to handle - whilst they offered saddle bags to put our belongings into, with a choice of leaving at the office. The tapas and drink at the end of bike tour was a very nice touch of elegance and delicious food. Made our 2 days stay in Barcelona enjoyable and memorable and we would certainly do the tour again!
Alex was informative, nice, attentive, and good with all ages. We learned a lot on the tour and enjoyed the city. The city put a lot into a wonderful beach front and there was a lot of activity.
Our tour guide Aleix should get an e-bike e-medal for a wonderful tour when the weather was not that wonderful. As Aleix expertly led us through the squares, passages and alleys of El Born and La Barceloneta, we learned about the archaeological discoveries at the Born Center, the War of the Spanish Succession, the 1714 Memorial, the 1888 Universal Exposition, the Spanish Civil War, and the 1992 Summer Olympics. We also got a crash course—with no actual bike crashes involved!—on Catalan language, culture, and traditions. Our tour ended with tapas and wine at a lovely neighborhood bar. So, while the weather outside was (occasionally) frightful, Aleix made the experience truly delightful.
We had an amazing experience , it was so lovely and Agatha was so great! Highly recommend, it’s a perfect activity even if you’re not a confident cyclist like myself :)
Agatha was great, very knowledgeable and fun. Tour was a good way to see different parts of the city👍 Cycling was fun and easy due to E. bikes
Aleix was a fantastic guide! He was in tune to what the group wanted, and was extremely knowledgeable as a Barcelona native. You can ask him as many questions as your heart desires, and he is genuinely happy to be sharing Barcelona with every guest. Great energy, and could not have timed the sundown more perfectly! Thank you!!!
Alish was our guide and we had the most amazing experience. We got to know fats that we wouldn’t have known otherwise. Very interesting and a must do activity in Barcelona
MY girl Agatha is THE BOMB DOT COM. SHES THE BESTEST TOUR GUIDE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. I learned how to ride a bike a week before this and thanks to her the tour was incredible!!!
Agatha did a great job… easy biking, very informative, and met some great people. It wasn't the greatest day from a weather standpoint, but it was fun and a great way to see more of Barcelona than just walking.
Fantastic tour! Our guide, Rory, was engaging, entertaining, thoughtful and incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the areas we visited. The bike riding is on flat terrain; not strenuous; and, a great way to see parts of the old city and shake off the jet lag on day of arrival. The tapas were wonderful and a great introduction to the cuisine. Highly recommend the tour!
Excellent tour guide in Aleix. Very knowledgeable and pleasant. Happy to go at your pace and answer questions. Nice touch at the end with a lovely tapas and wine. Barcelona is a lovely city to explore on bikes as it is well laid out with cycle paths and quite flat. All in all a very pleasant and enjoyable experience. Thank you Aleix
This tour was led by a personable and knowledgeable Rory, and gave us an in depth understanding of the history of the city, and an overall sense of the geography Definitely increased our confidence exploring further on our own.
Very fun time biking through Barcelona! Our guide was very knowledgable on the history of Barcelona. He showed us beautiful sights!
Ruaridh our guide was fantastic. Super knowledgable and also good fun. Saw so much of the city and the beach with just the right number of stops. Learned about the city as well and certainly visited places we wouldn’t have found. Finished the tour in a nearby lovely restaurant for tapas drinks and chat.
This bike tour was such a fun experience. It starts with bike ride around the city, the tour guide gives you history and see the beauty of Barcelona. And it ends with delicious traditional tapas, and some wine! Which is part of the Barcelona country - To sit with people in the tour and drink and connect over food and drink. Our tour guide Agatha was incredible, a true woman of the world - most members of this tour even stayed after and all hung out together because we enjoyed our time so much. I highly recommend. ~Nick Granata Jr.
Jairo was an amazing guide with a tremendous amount of experience traveling throughout the heart of Barcelona. We had a terrific time and we highly recommend using Jairo if you really want a true taste of Barcelona. :-)
We had Letty as our bike tour guide for our time in Barcelona, and we can’t say enough great things about her! She was so knowledgeable of the city and the history, she gave us an amazing tour of the city. Highly recommend the e-bike tour!!
Great way to see the city and experience the culture of Barcelona. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made it fun roaming the city.
Such a well informed, funny, and well organized guide. Adapted the tour to fit the group both in terms of what we had all already seen, and the speed at which it was conducted.
Aleix was amazing. He was so knowledge. I would highly recommend this tour and guide when in Barcelona. 5 star We went to all the sites and felt it was a perfect amount of time
Loved the bike tour! Our tour guide Julio was great! Took us to all areas of Barcelona and showed us the history as well! The tapas were wonderful at the end of the tour as well! We wish we had taken this tour on our first day in Barcelona!
Really enjoyed this tour as a solo traveler! It was a great way to see Barcelona with some wine tasting and tapas to top it off!
A great tour of the city. Rained a bit but we were given ponchos that helped. Rory did a great job … he’s very knowledgeable and well educated on much of Barcelona’s history. Thank you for a great look at the old (original) parts of the city along with the landmarks of the World’s Fair. Tapas/Wine hit the spot at the end.
Etienne was so flexible, adjusting the route for our desires. Well done! Very informative. And a wonderful intro to the city
Alexi was an Excellent tour guide. We had a tremendous time biking around parts of Barcelona we otherwise would never have experienced. History and information about the state was provided. Alexi grew up in Barcelona and is very proud of his culture.
What a wonderful tour we had with Oriol. He was very informative and shared a great deal of information about Barcelona and its history. The e-bikes made the riding very easy and was very comfortable for even those with little e-bike experience. The Tapas and WIne after the ride were wonderful. We enjoyed the restaurant so much that we stayed around for dinner. You don't have to worry about the wine and biking, the tapas and wine are at the end of the tour. The bike tour was about three hours and then we stayed in the restaurant another 1 1/2 hours and it was a great evening.
A really great way to get an overview of the city and history. Etienne was a great guide, very responsive to our needs and informative
The whole experience was really fantastic. The ebikes were very convenient and I enjoyed the stops that we made. We were given time to take pictures and given a lot of great information by our tour guide. Oriole was funny and knowledgeable. The Tapas and wine came at the very end of the tour when we return the bikes and went to a nearby restaurant. The food was good and we got to try Cava and one glass of wine. I would have enjoyed several more stops with food but overall a great tour.
My 15-year-old daughter and I had a fabulous experience on the E-bike, Tapas, and Wine tour! Our guide Oriol, a Catalonia native, was a wealth of information about the history, culture, and social influences in the region. Moreover, he was super friendly, funny, and clearly loves - and is loved - by the area (he was greeted several times during the tour by passersby). We both loved cruising around many neighborhoods in Barcelona, stopping in the shade for a quick history lesson or contextual backstory. The e-bikes were well-maintained, helmets are available, and Oriol was a safe guide who gave great cues when riding. The wine and tapas were delicious and a perfect ending to our tour. I wish we would have done this tour earlier in our trip!
