Jean-Pierre was an incredible and knowledgeable guide. He took us on an extensive tour and we learned so much about the history and architecture of Barcelona. He is very accommodating and was very cognizant of all riders safety navigating through the city.
Thank you so much, Andrew! It was a real pleasure meeting you, Tess, and Grace, and showing you around Barcelona. I’m thrilled to hear that you all enjoyed the tour and our ride together. Thank you for this wonderful review and for your trust! Warmesy regards, Jean-Pierre
What a perfect day to tour Barcelona on a bicycle! Jean Pierre was an absolute pleasure. His tour was very informative and he knows the streets and the destinations so well. If you’re comfortable on a bike and want to cover some ground, this is the way to go. Four hours went by way too fast!!
Hi Anita and Dimitry! Thank you so much for your kind words. It was indeed a perfect day for a ride! I’m thrilled to hear that the four hours went by so fast for you—time flies when we're exploring such beautiful spots. It was an absolute pleasure guiding you through the streets I love. Warmest regards, Jean-Pierre
This private tour was perfect. Jean Pierre discussed options for the ride and we saw so many things in Barcelona, the coast, the Olympic site, parks, historic sites. Jean Pierre was able to keep us on bike paths most of the time and did not have to fight the busy streets. We were able to proceed at our pace and it was a wonderful way to see the city.
Hi Julie! Thank you so much for such a detailed comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the variety of the route, from the coast to the Olympic site. I always try to prioritize bike paths to keep the experience relaxing, and I'm happy to hear that it allowed you to enjoy the city at your own pace. All the best, Jean-Pierre
An excellent over 4 hours trip. Jean Pierre was excellent - he took us to many landmarks and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona. With electric bikes it was so easy
Hi Andrew! Thank you for your 5-star review. I’m delighted that you enjoyed our 4-hour journey through Barcelona’s history. You handled the e-bikes perfectly, making the climb to the landmarks look easy! It was a pleasure meeting you both. All the best, Jean-Pierre
Jean-Pierre was very thoughtful and thorough. He will tailor the tour to your liking- and can be very detailed- or brief if you prefer. Perfect for a small group- the streets can get crowded- so be prepared to dodge a few pedestrians- but it was safe and fun and I would do this again. Great way to learn and get the layout of a new city if you’ve never been.
Hi Sasha! Thank you so much for this glowing review. It was a real pleasure to tailor the tour for you and Jordan. You’re right, Barcelona’s streets can be a bit of a dance with pedestrians sometimes, but I'm glad you felt safe and had fun. I hope to see you again for another ride! Warmest regards, Jean-Pierre
The best way to see all of Barcelona; do it early in your visit! Electric bikes make it easy and fun. Jean-Pierre was very friendly, knowledgeable and patient.
Thank you so much, Robert, for such a kind review! I agree, starting a trip with an e-bike tour is the best way to get your bearings in Barcelona without the effort. I’m very touched by your compliment; while I don't know if I'm 'the best,' I truly enjoyed our time together. It’s the curiosity and kindness of guests like you, Joe, Nava, and Ed that make my job so rewarding. Thank you again! All the best, Jean-Pierre
Jean Pierre was an excellent guide! What an awesome way to experience Barcelona. …….,,,,,,,,,……………..
Hi Chris! A huge thank you for the 5-star review. I’m so glad you and Sue had an 'awesome' time exploring the city with me. It was a real treat to show you around and share a bit of Barcelona’s magic with you both. Wishing you all the best! Warmest regards, Jean-Pierre.
Jean-Pierre was a great and knowledgeable guide. The e-bikes made it easy to explore Barcelona. Everything was enjoyable. Would highly recommend
Many thanks, Shelley! I’m so happy you enjoyed the tour and found it informative. Guiding you, Karen, and John was a highlight for me as well. I really appreciate you taking the time to recommend the experience to other travelers. Wishing you all the very best! Sincerely, Jean-Pierre.
We highly recommend this tour. The fact that the tour is private for just you and your group is awesome. That way, you can go at your preferred pace and not get hung up with a big group of strangers while navigating Barcelona. Also, our tour guide was fabulous- good energy, pleasant and very knowledgeable!
Thank you so much Stephanie for your 5 STAR review!!! It was a pleasure to meet you and Mike and a delight to be your guide! Your compliments for me of « good energy, pleasant » apply to you as well. Your friendliness and enthusiasm were greatly appreciated. Thank you again for EVERYTHING!!! Warmest regards, Jean-Pierre
We LOVED learning about Barcelona via this tour! We use to sign up for ‘Hop On Hop Off’ bus tours when we were visiting a new city, but this was SO MUCH MORE FUN! Jean Pierre was wonderful and took us ALL OVER Barcelona!! At various stops along the way, he shared his vast knowledge of Barcelona. We highly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much Patty for your 5 star fantastic review!!! It was a pleasure meeting you and Tom and having a chance to show you around. I´m so glad to hear you picked my tour instead of a « Hop on Hop off » one and were happy with your decision. Thank you again for those compliments and your recommendation. Warmest regards, Jean-Pierre
