About
Similarly to other European cities, Barcelona is extremely bike-friendly. Hopping on a bicycle is a fantastic way to navigate through this charming city, as you can easily and pleasantly experience the vibrant neighborhoods, its highlights, and a number of hidden jewels while beating traffic and crowds. Just like in all our private tours, the route, pace, and topics of interest will be fully customized to your preferences. On a bike, you will enjoy the freedom of making these decisions as you go, always backed by your private guide’s rich information and valuable tips.
Uncover the layers of history of Barcelona’s Old Quarter as you explore the key plazas, fascinating black alleys, the ancient Cathedral, and other iconic monuments in the Barrio Gótico, El Born, and El Raval. Head to Port Vell and Barceloneta for a delightful ride by the boardwalk, before stopping for a tasting of delicious tapas and a drink at one of our favorite venues in Poble Sec. Set off through Plaça Espanya and follow a Modernist route including exterior visits and explanations of the various modernist works along the Passeig de Gracia (Casa Batlló, Casa Ametller, La Pedrera) and, of course, Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia.
