Buena Vista Tours

Small group tours by bicycle

Want to visit the city in a responsible way, with no emission fumes and a small group ethos? Then check out Buena Vista Tours whose highly rated Barcelona City Bike Tour departs from the gorgeous Plaça Reial daily at 11am (and also every day at 3pm during summer).

This three hour romp around the Catalan capital takes in pretty much everything a first time visitor to the city should see, starting with some key locations in the Gothic Quarter, before heading up to Gaudi’s magnificent Sagrada Familia basilica. A sight to behold!

The itinerary also includes the Palace of Catalan Music, the Arc de Triomf, Ciutadella Park, the Port Olimpic and city beaches, and some more off-the-wall treasures as well.

The smaller groups (maximum 8 people) create a more relaxed vibe than many of the more mainstream bike tours, enabling you to chat and engage with your local guide, and stop and take photos when the fancy takes you. What’s more, the price is more than fair at just €28 per person.

Aside from their principal tour, they also offer a number of themed rides such as their Gaudi Bike Tour, Tapas Tour and even private tours if you prefer to ride with just your crew.

Buena Vista are family friendly and can cater for kids with child seats and helmets.
