With the sun shining and spring finally here, there´s no better way to get to know Barcelona than with a bike tour of the city. You´ll be able to see and experience parts of the city unseen by bus tours with a guide explaining the deeper insights of Barcelona and the secrets of the different neighborhoods and quarters. The bike tours are great for families and kids of all ages with plenty of stops at the city´s best restaurants and bars to grab a refreshment or snack on the way. The bike tour is a great way to see all the most famous sites in Barcelona, such as the Sagrada Familia and the sunny beaches as well as some lesser known attractions. There are a variety of tour options, varying in length and area, but each one gets you around faster than on foot and more in depth than on a tour bus.

Sure Bus Turistic provides a great tour via bus, but if you´re looking for a tour on two wheels we´ve got some options for you!
Do you want a motor on your bike? If so, the Barcelona Scooter Tour is the trip for you. On this 3-hr tour you will ride 125cc automatic scooters with four-stroke engines. The tour starts in the Barceloneta area and an English-speaking guide leads you throughout the city, covering every facit of Barcelona.

If you prefer some exercise while touring, we´ve got four great options for you! The first three options leave from Orbea Bicicletas (C/ Gran De Gràcia 1, Barcelona) and the fourth leaves from Plaza Sant Jaume. The length of the tours vary, but they are all conducted in English.
The first option is the Mountain Bike Tour---Caldes de Montbui. You will be picked up for a drive to Caldes de Montbui, your base for the bike tour, only 22 miles (35 kilometers) away. This 5-7 hour full-day tour allows riders to see Barcelona´s countryside as never before. Your tour will end in "La Font de Lleo" the most famous fountain at Caldes de Montbui , where you can witness the hot Thermal spring waters coming from the fountain. The next option is the Barcelona Natural Park Bike Tour which is less strenuous and much shorter. The Collserola Natural Park is an oasis in the Barcelona metropolitan area providing the population with a green wooded area away from the crowds. It contains around 10 million trees, 1,000 species of plants and almost 190 species of animals, reptiles and birds. Here is where you will ride for 2 hours. The third option also takes place within the Collserola Natural Park, yet it takes place while the sun sets! The Barcelona Sunset Bike Tour enables riders to see the lights of many of BCN´s landmarks light up as the sun in the sky goes down. The last tour parallels the Sooter tour in that its goal is to get you to all the sites within the metropolitan area of BCN. The Barcelona Half-Day Bike Tour takes about four hours, and the tour enables riders to choose destinations of greatest interest.
Why not book an apartment with us, so you can hop on your bike ASAP!
