Little mountains rise up from Barcelona's sprawl, calling out to eager cyclists looking for a challenging Barcelona bike tour with great views of the city.

Usually passed over by tourists because they´re difficult to get to, the city's urban outcroppings are perfect for those who are looking for a private bike tour in Barcelona that will give them a tough workout with rewarding vistas.

Each one of our private bike tours offers you the Barcelona Experience difference: high–quality bikes, knowledgeable and friendly guides, attentive service, on-tour support and optional delivery and pickup of your bikes.

Highlights and details

We start on the flat ground of Barcleona´s city steets, where our destinations call us from a distance. As a group, we pedal through city streets until the closely-packed apartment buildings that define urban life start to give way to more open spaces.

Inclines steadily rise is as the landscape shifts from concrete and asphalt to smaller roads, dusty hilltops and more tranquil neighborhoods. Concrete gives way to snaking dirt trails that wind their way through emerald pine forests.

Rest your legs and recharge at a local watering hole where tables rarely see tourists walk through the doors.

A few more minutes of riding and you´ll hit another mountaintop. Enjoy the views once again before coasting down to Parc Guell, Gaudi´s famous public space replete with dazzling architecture and shady pines.

Important to know

Our mountain bike tour launches you into a multi-surface adventure where you'll glide down city roads, amble up wide dirt roads twisting through pine-covered hills, coast down neighborhood streets and hammer your way up one of the city's best viewpoints.

The changes in elevation and surfaces require an intermediate to advanced level of fitness.

Trust us; this tour isn´t for the faint of heart (or legs). However, amazing views will reward your sweat and strain.
