Barcelona Private Tour By Sidecar Motorcycle

Fantastic way to see the city and a great way to start our time in Barcelona. Fun, unique and safe. Joe and Johannis were fantastic guides for our group of 4.

Talk about the perfect splurge!! This tour is pricey and we almost didn’t do it but SO glad we did! Andre was a fantastic guide/driver/host for our sidecar Barcelona experience! We saw all the “big guns”, took time for photos, coffee stops and anything we particularly wanted to see. Highly recommend!!

Johannes was an excellent guide! He met us at our location and dropped us off at our hotel. We were able to go to all the sections of Barcelona from the beach to the hills and everywhere in between. We learned a lot about the city. Would definitely recommend!

Hands down best time ever!!! It was our first time doing this and would not hesitate to do this again. Fun way to see the city, and the bonus was our amazing guides Stephan and Joppe who had great knowledge of the city!

Excellent and fun way to discover Barcelona. Our guide Andrea was really friendly and shared a lot of its history with us!! Thank you again Andrea!!

IF you love motorcycle rides, this is definitely the tour for you. It was our favorite tour, and pablo art guide/driver could not have done a better job. Tons local knowledge.

Joppe did a great job! It was raining earlier in the day and they were flexible and able to work around the weather and it ended up being beautiful weather! This was a relaxing and close up way to see different parts of the city. From the side streets, to the overviews, to the beaches, it was great. The stories, history and all of the fun facts we learned out Barcelona along the way made for a fun afternoon.

Really great experience! Such a fun way to see the city. Our guide Diego was really knowledgeable and communication with Brightside was excellent. Highly recommend it!

Had read nothing but positive reviews about this unique & fun tour & it did not disappoint! Joe, our guide, deftly drove us to all points N/S/E/W & by the time our tour ended, we walked away thinking we had seen the best of what this beautiful city has to offer. Everywhere we went, we were met w/ smiles, thumbs ups & joyful curiosity. How often do any of us get that kind of gleeful response in this day & age? My husband really enjoyed riding in the sidecar, while I preferred sitting behind Joe. And while driving in the midst of traffic isn't for the faint of heart, Joe was an alert & cautious driver & neither of us felt nervous or scared. If you're looking for a once in a lifetime experience - book this tour. You'll be glad you did 👍

Awesome experience. You learn about the city and are able to travel around the entire city. It is a great way to start your exploration of Barcelona. The driver was exceptional. Polite and informative.

Johannes gave me and my grandmother, one of the best tours of Barcelona. On top of being informative he was knowledgeable about our basic questions. Thanks again

This is a great trip to see the city and get your barring. Especially great for a solo traveler. My guide was very knowledgeable and stopped at significant places and explained the city layout and great places to explore while there.

Fun excursion with kids, not too long, not too short, just the right amount!

Andres was an amazing tour guide. Safe, well informed, perfect English , Spanish, Italian .

We booked through a third party… you can book directly. Joao was VERY helpful with booking and advice beyond what he could offer. Our guide, Johannes was remarkable. Knowledgeable and as important a great driver… making sure to not go too fast…finding shade (we toured in August). We had two people…one in the side car and one behind driver with a great place to hold on. Can’t recommend this more highly. Oh… we’re 68 and 73. This is not just for the young.

This was so much fun! And such a unique way to see the city, with experienced guides and stops to see Barcelona up close. Would totally recommend this for someone new in town, someone who likes a little thrill, or who likes traveling in style! (Or all three :))

This was an incredible way to see the city, even if you've been to Barcelona before. We are a family of 4 - one 16 and one 13 to. This was our 2nd time to BCN. Andre and Pablo were amazing and such great guides. You really get to see all of the major places. If in BCN for your first time would do this in the earlier part of your trip. Would definitely do this again!

Onewonderful! Person in our group has a wheel chair, so instead of side car it was 4 of us in a van. Stephan our guide was wonderful!

I didn't think the 2 of us could be in one sidecar so I had thought there might be 2 guides and each of us tourists would be in a separate sidecar. Imagine my surprise when Stefan showed up on one motorcycle, my husband wanted the sidecar, and I ended up on the back of the motorcycle, for only the second time in my life! Because I've heard about so many motorcycle accidents I have been leery of them my entire life, even though I have no qualms about skydiving, scuba diving, or snorkeling with sharks. But Stefan put me at ease once we got helmeted up with our bluetooth mikes to listen to his commentary and respond back. While riding I thought it was possibly the most dangerous thing I'd ever done in my life, not wearing all kinds of protective gear on my arms and legs. But because it has the sidecar the chances of bike tipping were miniscule if not impossible. After a bit I settled down and had the time of my life! Although the description says long pants and close toed shoes are a must, because it was so hot we didn't have to wear long pants and I think my husband had sandals on. Bottom line - we had an absolute blast! It was our first outing in Barcelona so it provided an excellent overview of what we feel was the entire city, and knew which parts we'd want to return to. This was SO much better than a Hop on Hop off bus because we were so small we could go down skinny alleys and really see the city, and we went to way more places than a HOHO could go. I will be looking for a sidecar tour of every new city we travel to, just because of this amazing experience. Thanks Stefan!

We loved our sidecar tour, it was a fantastic way to see Barcelona and learn some great history. Pablo was an awesome tour guide, super knowledgeable and friendly, and was able to personalise our tour to see everything we wanted to. Highly recommend!

Do this! A great way to see a lot of different parts on Barcelona in just a few hours! We even got lucky and were able to go in the Olympic Stadium!

The highlight of our trip! We had done a similar tour in the past in Paris and were excited to find out that our guide used to work there. They started with a great history of the city, then drove us to all of the highlights from the Gaudi sites, to La Sagrada Família, to Montjuic and every other site you would want to drive by! The headsets for communication were wonderful and their English was as good as my owne! Ha! Plus they stopped where ever we wanted to grab some great family pictures! Pablo drove my daughter and I and his stories of his life in and outside of Barcelona was so entertaining and his knowledge was quite impressive. My wife and son had Andre and said he was wonderful! If you are looking for a good first day to get the lay of the land or only in town for a day, this is a must for all situations!

Great guides! Learned the history of Barcelona and saw so many of the major spots in the city. Loved it!

We had a fantastic experience, our guide was amazing . Andre really knew his stuff and had great humour. Definitely the best and most unique way to see Barcelona

This was honestly one of the best tours I have taken worldwide (and we travel a lot!). The guide was personable and knowledgable, the sights were great, and the sidecar was honestly just fun. It not only brought smiles to our faces, but everyone we passed in the street as well. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!

An incredible experience to get to see Barcelona with a great guide on an incredible ride. You really get to cover more area than would be possible by bicycle, which was our original idea and I’m so happy we made the choice. Shout out to Andre for being an excellent driver and guide.

Quite the unique experience navigating the streets of Barcelona with André and Johannes! They did a great job sharing the special sights and locations of the city while also sharing each of their unique perspectives. We were able to get a great overview of the city, main sites, great views, and food ideas in an upbeat, fun way. My only feedback is that the rear seat is not the most comfortable, it would be great to improve the seats.

An excellent way to see the city. So nice to get great views. Couldn't ask for a better way to see so much with a guide than from the motorcycle side car.

Another great tour with BrightSide! We brought friends this time, and it was an amazing experience for all. The guys are so well informed, and you get real personal service and information as they drive you through the side street to see the best viewpoints of this beautiful city!

We loved this tour! Our driver was Joppe and he got us in and around traffic safely. He knew all about Barcelona and showed us things we hadn’t seen on the hop on/off bus route. It was fun having people in buses and on the street point and smile at us! I am recommending this tour to all our friends and any who will be in Barcelona and want to do something out of the ordinary!

This tour was incredible - what a fun way to see Barcelona! It was a very efficient and safe tour of the city’s main sights with great information and history provided along the way. We felt like we were famous with lots of people waving and taking photos of us! Would highly recommend!!!

Andre was great, good overview of the city, great driver, felt safe all the time, Andre has a great personality. Thanks for the great time. Russ & Debbie

Our motorcycle ride was a perfect start to our stay in Barcelona. Our drivers Joppe, Matt & Pablo were absolutely the best drivers we could ever have! They were knowledgeable, interesting, and entertaining. This tour was an unforgettable highlight of our Spain trip. I would highly recommend Brightside tour for your next trip to Barcelona! I am sure you will love it as much as we did!

This was my first experience around the city and it was fantastic! Joppe was very knowledgeable and showed some significant points of the tour/city on a map before we started riding which was really helpful to give context during the tour and seeing the different sites. Riding in the side car was so fun - were able to pull into different areas which would have been difficult for a car. 10/10 would recommend.

Highly recommend- amazing way to get introduced to Barcelona. Drivers Stephan and Andre were fabulous and very knowledgeable.

Mathias and Stephen were great guides through the city. Our family did this tour at the beginning of our trip, and it helped us understand how this beautiful city was built. The motorcycles were smooth and comfortable to ride in. They even provided us blankets. Our family highly recommends this tour.

Great fun. Good way to see the sites of the city. Our driver was very knowledgeable of the city's history and landmarks. We also felt comfortable and safe. The sidecar motorcycles are eye catchers!

We had such a great time! We were with Joe and Stephan and they were awesome. We learned so much and saw parts of the city that we never would have seen otherwise. I recommend doing this early in your trip so you can take advantage of the recommendations that the drivers give!

This was an amazing and fun way to see a more intimate perspective of Barcelona! Tour guide Stephan was a wonderful driver and full of knowledge about the city- both historic and current! It was a bit chilly but he had a nice cozy blanket for cart. Stephanie recommended a place for lunch knowing we prefer tapas and vegetarian and it was excellent! Definitely recommend this and this guide!

We enjoyed our tour with Stefan and Andres. They were so good in explaining everything and allowing us to customize the tour to our needs. We saw all the main sites and got a great feel for the city and it's neighborhoods. Highly recommended, esp with young kids.

Since I had only 36 hours on my first trip to Barcelona, I felt the sidecar tour was the best way to familiarize myself with the city. The Sidecar Tour did not disappoint! We covered a lot of turf in only 4 hours, including the Gaudi homes, the Cathedral, Sagrada Familia, the waterfront, and Olympic park. Stephan, my driver, knew the highlights of Barcelona and knew exactly where to stop for photo ops. Consider Sidecar Tour as the first stop on your Barcelona visit. Great for all ages, since it was highly recommended to be by a 70-year-old couple.

On maybe the coldest morning of early winter in Barcelona, Stefan made the experience very comfortable, interactive, thrilling, and the periodic stops made it personal as we shared a cafe.

Best way to see the city! We’re able to see the whole city in about 3 hours with a personal tour guide. Joppe was awesome! So fun! This was my favorite thing we did in Barcelona!

Staying within the Gothic Quarter, we were interested to see more of the outskirts of Barcelona. This tour delivered! My wife and I had never ridden a sidecar motorcycle before, and we enjoyed a fun, comfortable and interesting ride. On this trip, we climbed the local mountain, we saw the Olympic stadium, we made our way to the waterfront/beach, and we explored many local neighborhoods. Our guide was friendly and flexible to see areas where we had greatest interest. This was a terrific tour early in our time in Barcelona, as it set the stage and good context for other sites we would see during our holiday.

Stephan was brilliant and fun, with a wonderful knowledge of the city, history and architecture in Barcelona. Our half-day tour was spectacular! He met us at our hotel, reviewed the map and the highlights we wanted to include, and safely strapped us in. We enjoyed every minute in each neighborhood and Stephanie stopped for us to take photos as requested. We truly fell in love with Barcelona. If you do nothing else, see the city by motorcycle sidecar.

Hard to top this experience. These memories will last. Our first trip to Barcelona. Fun day. A welcome change from a bus ride in traffic. Plenty of time for photos. Won’t be disappointed.

Pablo and Jepp were great guides. The tour was so much fun and the guides were knowledgeable about the history and geography of Barcelona and Spain. We would do this again!

This was amazing and our guide Pablo was a bonus gem! The bucket seat was very comfortable (and safe). My husband is a motorcycle rider so I gave him the "back" passenger seat behind the guide which did seem a bit scary to novice riders like myself. Our guide was generous with time and knowledge and absolutely hit it off with my hubby about their shared passion for motorcycles.

This tour of Barcelona was so much fun. I sat behind the driver, Stefan, and my wife sat in the sidecar. Stefan took us all over Barcelona and it was a great overview of the city. We did it on our first day while we were still a little jet-lagged and it was such an easy and invigorating experience. So, Stefan is very knowledgeable most terrific to be with.
