Marina was an excellent, informative guide. She kept us safe on the roads too. Sad that she is moving on but we are very happy for her.
We had a wonderful e-bike tour learning about architecture and art. We lucked out as other clients didn’t show up for the tour so it ended up being a private tour! Our guide was absolutely amazing. If you like history, the influence of artists in architecture then this would be a great taste of the city.
We really enjoyed seeing most of the Gaudi stops by bike in Barcelona; I was surprised we didn't use helmets, especially given riding on the roads and amongst so many people. Perhaps that's just the culture though!
Hands down my favourite tour in Barcelona. I live here and whenever we have friends and family visiting we always book this bike tour to show our guests beautiful Barcelona. The bikes are so smooth and easy to ride, Paula the guide has that local only knowledge and knows all the hidden gems and no stopping at tourist traps!
Such a great way to see Barcelona! The bike tour covered a lot of the city in a relaxed, fun way, with a safe, easy route and plenty of stops along the way. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting stories and local tips that really brought the city to life. Highly recommend if you want to explore Barcelona while staying active and seeing more than you would on foot and great value for money.
For the price we paid, I think it’s more than worth it. All we got to see and the perfect story telling we got to hear we had the most pleasant guide with a plus of the exercise we got done! It was a perfect amount of time and we were a small group so it felt very comfortable and everyone was super friendly! Thank you all for such an experience.
Amazing tour, amazing city! We had the best time of our lives. It was affordable, small group, and our guide Paula was knowledgeable charming and friendly. Will recommend it to friends and family visiting Barcelona! Thank you, Paula we are looking forward to visiting again!!
I LOVED this tour! My husband and I have never been to Barcelona before, and this was an amazing introduction to the city. Our guide Paula was super engaging and very knowledgable. It was like having a local friend who’s really into history and fun facts for a couple of hours. Just one tip - biking in the winter can be chilly so I recommend bringing some gloves ☺️
I’ve done this tour multiple times. Fun way to explore the main attractions in the city and get local knowledge about the history of the place. always fun, and a bargain!
Thank you Buena Vista Tours! Marina was a great tour guide, she showed us mostly everything we wanted to see and learn during our visit to sunny Barcelona. Highly recommend to don’t miss this experience!
