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.
Dear Melinda, We are touched by your kind words, thank you for taking the time to review. We are very happy to read you had a knowledgeable time and great sidecar adventure with Andre in our sidecar tour! That is totally our aim. We wish you have a pleasant journey back home, let us know if you come back in the future! A special hello from André, best regards!
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear that André and Johannes helped make the most of your time in Barcelona in such an informative, fun, and upbeat way — that’s exactly the experience we hope to create for every guest. We also truly appreciate your feedback about the rear seat comfort. We’ll definitely review this and see how we can make the experience extra comfortable for future rides. It was a pleasure having you ride with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Barcelona adventure soon! Warm greetings from the whole BrightSide Team and a spcial hello from André & Johannes 😊🏍️

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!

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!
Dear Pam, We are touched by your review, thank you for sharing! We work hard to make the most of each tour , exactly in this direction: knowledgeable, fun, interesting...we are a small company and this word of mouth means a lot to us. We feel honoured you chose us, please come back for a new route next time you visit Barcelona. Best regards from all the team, and a big thank you from Joppe, Matt and Pablo!
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so happy to hear that we were your first tour around the city — and that it was a fantastic one 😊 We’re glad to read that Joppe’s explanations and the map introduction helped give context — that’s exactly what we aim for: tours that are both informative and fun. And yes, the sidecar definitely lets us reach some special spots! Thanks again for the recommendation — it truly means a lot to us! We hope to welcome you back for a new sidecar private tour next time you are in Barcelona. Best wishes from Joppe, and all the team.
Highly recommend- amazing way to get introduced to Barcelona. Drivers Stephan and Andre were fabulous and very knowledgeable.
