El Ciclo offers bicycle tours with a personal English-speaking guide. Our guide shows you the highlights, but also knows where to find the hidden gems, which you probably wouldn’t find yourself. Of course they also share their personal insider tips and favourites, to make your stay in Barcelona even better!

Customized Tour

Before getting on your bike, our guide will ask what you would like to see during the tour. Let him or her know what you’ve already seen and what’s still on the wish list. This way you will get the most out of your bicycle tour and city trip.

All tours are adapted to our clients. Our guides are used to cycle with couples, families with children, teenagers, groups of friends and colleagues, and know well how to personalize a tour. No wonder some of our clients have done several tours with us! Let us know as well if you’re especially interested in culture, history, shopping or gastronomy.

English speaking guides

Our English-speaking guides are all locals living permanently in Barcelona. They have tour experience, speak Spanish, are integrated in society and know exactly where to go. That works out well for the quality of our tours. We don’t work with guides that have been living here for a few months only, because we know it takes some time to get to know the city and its inhabitants.

Adventure Tips

Bring a compact rain jacket

Barcelona weather can change quickly, so a lightweight rain jacket ensures comfort during unexpected showers.

Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes

Proper footwear increases grip and comfort for navigating cobblestones and urban paths.

Stay hydrated

Carry a refillable water bottle to keep energy levels high on warm days, especially when cycling along the waterfront.

Use sunscreen even on cloudy days

UV rays reflect off Mediterranean surfaces, so apply sun protection throughout your tour.

Local Insights
