Memories for a lifetime!
Had the best city tour! due to the holiday, we were unable to go Parc Guell, but the operator refunded the amount of the entry. This way a great way to see the city for our group aged 14 - 81. We will talk about this for years to come!
Excellent
I Went on a lot of tours in Barcelona, But this was me and girlfriends favorite by far !!! Our guides knowledge , the place we see was awesome.
A Beautiful Day in Barcelona!
Lovely way to see sights you’d never on a walking or bus tour! Stéphanie was very knowledgeable about the architecture and the history!
Historical tour on a bike.
We had a great tour. We choose the Park Gruel which is uphill so an e-bike is a must. Stephanie was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the all the history. The bike is a great way to see many historical sites in a short time. There are other tours if you don’t want to do the hill to the park.
Good tour with lots of history
It was raining off and on during our tour which we didn’t mind. Our tour guide Stephanie was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of history to all the sites we saw. We had e-bikes but going to Park Güell is steep and you do need to be health to make it. Our guide had tickets for us to go in the park and enjoy. We were a family of 5 and my kids are all young adults so we made it. Stephanie was great and would back track if any of us got caught at a red light or struggle with the hill. Next time I would choose a different tour than the park but it really was great to use the bikes to zip around the city and get to see some many sites in a short time. Plus having a guide you get to learn so much more about the things you are seeing.
