We did not enjoy the tour for three main reasons: 1 - The bikes are in TERRIBLE shape. Bad brakes, bad chains.. one bike had such a loose chain that it kept popping off and caused disruption in our trip. The bikes need maintenance! Eventually Augustino had to swap bikes with us. But there was no offer to bring another bike or have any kind of support in case of mechanical failure. 2 - The tour description says regarding Park Guell: "we’ll spend around 50 minutes exploring.." In fact, the guide left us at the gate to explore alone, and he told us that he is not a certified guide so is not allowed to give tours inside Park Guell! This is wrong and misleading when the description says "WE" - this means "you +I" in English, which means the guide would accompany the guests. When we were clearly surprised & disappointed at this diminished experience, Augustino told us to download the audio guide in lieu of his expertise - but there was no signal in the park, and the audioguide would not download via the QR code or searching for the app. It just froze.. I took screenshots of the failures. Not only that - but even if the audioguide had downloaded properly, we did not bring our headphones so would not be able to listen or follow easily on speakerphone in the loud & crowded park, because the tour instructions did not tell us to bring headphones or download the audioguide in advance. Overall, this part of the tour was a huge disappointment. 3 - Also the tour description says we will stop at "no less than 5 of his [Gaudi's] UNESCO-listed works"one of which is supposed to be the complimentary drink atop the Casa Fuster Hotel. However, Augustino said the Casa Fuster Hotel is NOT part of the tour and instead took us to Hotel Condes de Barcelona. So we did not see 5 Gaudi sites on this tour. This tour was worth less than half of what we paid. Huge disappointment. The description is grossly misleading and we did not receive the services promised. At their request by email ("...or if there were some problems with your experience, or you have some other feedback, please do get in contact with us via email and we'll do our very best to put it right!") I emailed this exact feedback to them on June 14 and received zero reply. Very poor customer service overall.

Itinerary
Antoni Gaudi's towering masterpiece: the still unfinished fairy-tale cathedral of La Sagrada Familia
We will visit charming Park Güell, where you'll be able to enjoy Gaudi's beautifully landscaped gardens and the famous trencadis decorated viewing terrace with vistas over the city (tour price includes tickets to Park Güell, one of Barcelona's unmissable attractions).
The first important work of Gaudi, constructed from 1883 to 1885.
We will stop for an exclusive break to have a drink on the rooftop with views over the tree-lined Passeig de Gracia.
Controversial Casa Mila is nicknamed la pedrera (the quarry) by the locals. It is still disputed whether Gaudi left it unfinished, or if he intended the famous facade like this.
UNESCO-listed Casa Batllo for many is the most beautiful of Gaudi's buildings.

We had a great personalized tour with capable Claudia. She knew the streets and personalized our tour based on what we had already seen and what we were planning to visit on our own. She also calibrated our ride to our family's different physical capabilities. It was fun learning from her and talking with her. We felt like we had a true friend showing us around the sights.
A phenomenal way to see Barcelona. The Gaudi Bike tour had e-bikes in excellent condition and make Barcelona's challenging hills easy. The best bit of all was out tour guide Agustin (request him if you can). He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We covered so much of the city seeing epic Gaudi buildings and learning so much. We had a planned stop for drinks at a very nice rooftop bar, but give the day and hour it was packed (and there was a private even). Agustin managed to secure us a table for 4 with a view of the Sagrada Familia. He gave us great suggestions for the rest of our stay in Barcelona. A great help.
We really enjoyed our Gaudi bike tour with Julio! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured we were with him at all times as we navigated Barcelona’s excellent bike path network! I highly recommend the Park Guell tour as the park tickets are all sorted out for you. Julio was such a great guide and as avid bikers we always think it is the best way to see a city. Julio knew some sweet side streets as we rolled down the hill from the park that allowed a glimpse into Barcelona’s neighborhood's. Definitely recommend a tour with this bike company and with Julio!
Our bike ride was very enjoyable. Elisa was knowledgeable and provided interesting information. We would highly recommend.
Mariana was wonderful to personalize this experience for us. We got to see a lot of Barcelona and she was great with our teen!
Our guide was excellent - very knowledgeable, flexible and fun. The bikes worked great and it was quite an adventure to make our way through the city up to the park and back. The biggest challenge was finding the store - some better signs might help.
Julio went above and beyond is personalizing our tour and he obviously spends time on his own in research on Barcelona. His love for Barcelona and his job is obvious and spills over to the tour itself!
Wonderful Gaudi landmarks through the vision of a friendly and informative local Guide. Alex was excellent and fantastic companion for this tour
Augustine was a very knowledgeable and fun guide. We really appreciated him guiding us through Barcelona safely! It would have been very tricky to figure out how all the bike lanes link together.
Alejandra was such a great tour guide. Fully disclosed at the start of the tour it was her first time with the company doing this tour and route but she did such a great job. We cannot believe how much of Barcelona we saw on those bikes. Alejandra always made sure we had enough time at each stop and showed us the best places to view Gaudi’s works and the city. Definitely recommend this tour if you don’t have a lot of time in the city. This tour is worth the money and time and our tour guide is so passionate about the city she lives in and cares so much about the enjoyment of all who visit. She even sent us information on Park Guell when we visited the next day and took photos and videos of our time as we were a bit camera shy for us to take or leave to remember our great day. So good!
Our tour guide was very accommodating to us. We saw many beautiful sites like Park Guell and other well know Gaudi buildings. We had a refreshing drink at a roof top restaurant and enjoyed the views of Barcelona.
Riding e-bikes through the city to look at Gaudi landmarks was awesome. Our guide, Julio, was kind and knowledgeable. I especially appreciated how before we began we stopped in a park and he drew a map of the city in the dirt that explained the origins of Barcelona and a brief history of how it grew and became the city that it is today. I went with my wife and 14 year old daughter. It was a great thing to do early in our trip to orient to the city. Note you will have to buy tickets on line to go inside the Sagrada Família after the tour but it is totally worth it. Last note: I don't usually like tours, preferring to explore on my own, but this e-bike tour was fun and totally worth it!
Shout out to Alex, who led a great tour today. Saw several Gaudi buildings and Park Guell. His overviews and insights added a lot. Cycling is a great way to see this amazing city!
Loved our tour with Alex, he was very informative and a pleasure to spend the day with. The e-bikes were perfect to get up to Park Gülle, wouldn’t have wanted to do that incline any other way! Great for for family of 4 with a 19 and 17 year old, would not recommend for younger kids. The biking is mostly on bike paths, but along traffic and traffic has to be crossed frequently. 10/10 would recommend and do again!
My family of four including 2 teenage boys loved this tour. The boys loved the electric bikes. Great quality Jeep bikes which have the option to peddle or use motor. Julio was a fabulous tour guide. He made sure we were all good with the bikes and was very knowledgeable about Gaudi architecture as well as general Barcelona history. He made the trip fun plus we all felt safe. We had a wonderful tour, learnt a lot and enjoyed ourselves x highly recommend.
Excellent guide. Good way to see major landmarks. Excellent guide, Oscar. Lots of traffic and people.
One of our favorite things we did in Barcelona! Very fun and a great way to learn more about Gaudí and the city. Our guide, Oscar, was friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this tour.
This tour was just perfect. Our guide, Alex, was knowledgeable, friendly, curious about the world and full of passion for his city. We learnt so much about the work of Gaudi, the city Barcelona and the fabulous districts within the city. We were extremely lucky and had the tour just to ourselves. This meant we could ask as many questions as we wanted! The e-bikes made the hills of Barcelona a breeze and the city streets are incredibly well organised for the many types of traffic: foot, bike, e-bike and scooter and cars. We felt confident and safe at all times. We highly recommend this tour and Alex as your guide.
Elisa, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing. She was extremely accomodating and the kindest guide.
Oscar was our guide and he was incredible. And the rooftop refreshments were perfect. This tour was worth every penny.
If you have to choose one activity in Barcelona, I recommend you take the Guided Gaudi eBike tour. Our guide was really nice and knowledgeable about Gaudi and the history og Barcelona.
My husband and I enjoyed this bike tour very much. It was an excellent way to see the city and learn about Gaudi. Saw some amazing architecture. Oscar was a wonderful guide and shared a lot of his knowledge.
Gerardo was a fantastic guide, and had an amazing fund of knowledge about all things Gaudi. We really enjoyed the information that he shared with us, and would have missed so much if he had not been there to lead us. This was a really fun and unique way to experience the various Gaudi structures and to learn about Gauid's contribution to the world of art and to Barcelona.
Elisa was an awesome guide! She was fun, informative, personable and knowledgeable. It was a great tour! The e-bikes worked great which made the tour even more fun.
This was an excellent tour. Oscar had a wealth of information to impart and was ready to answer many questions. He readily and intelligently discussed everything Barcelona and Catalonia. The bikes were easy to manage and Oscar navigated us through the busy Barcelona traffic with ease. The Gaudi houses and Park Guell were lovely to visit and seeing them all one day added an interesting perspective on the development of Gaudi’s style. The rooftop terrace was a great break and provided an opportunity for reflection and discussion. Highly recommend.
Oscar was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable on history and art, and fun to bike with. The Gaudi site visits were unique. Nothing else like it.
