A wonderful experience, it was so fun for our son who wouldn’t normally like walking through museums! His was engaged and loved the riding around. Our guide was great and we loved going around!
Thanks very much, it was a pleasure showing ye around Barcelona. Paul.
Paul was an excellent guide. So friendly and knowledgeable. We chose to go on standard bikes at a comfortable speed and we saw a lot of areas in the city including the beautiful waterfront. We loved the gorgeous park that was a setting for the World's Fair. We went through the 1992 Olympic Village. We really enjoyed Paul and would easily recommend biking through the beautiful city of Barcelona where the crowds are thinner. It was a perfect morning choosing to do this biking your!

Paul's bike tour was the perfect first activity when we arrived in Barcelona. He asked us what we wanted from the tour and took us on a city overview ride to so many of the sights. From Sagrada Familia to the oldest sections of the walls, Paul included both history and day to day life in Barcelona. As we rode he also pointed out other places we should explore. Barcelona is a very bike-friendly city with bike lanes everywhere complete with separate bike signals. Paul made us feel very comfortable riding in a new city and carefully obeyed all the bike traffic rules. His bikes were in excellent condition.

Really good way of seeing the city. Paul the guide was very affable and answered all my questions with in depth knowledge. I would recommend this tour on your first day as it is a great way to find your bearings and all the major landmarks of the city. Much easier than walking in the heat of the day.

Paul was personable and interesting!! He loves the city and we learned things we wouldn’t have just walking around. The biking was easy, just the biking lanes and lights were confusing but you get the hang of it. He supplied water and an apple for a mid morning snack. He was charming and friendly!!!
