Behind the scenes tour of Barcelona! 10/10 - Personalized bike tour around Barcelona with Bella. We had seen the major sites so Bella navigated our family of 4 through all the small streets of the city. Very knowledgeable guide which made for a fantastic afternoon. My favorite area was El Born - less people, more chill with beautiful buildings, history and shops.

Great trip - knowledgeable guide! - Julio took us all around the city in 3 hours. We saw parts of it we wouldn’t have seen otherwise, and learned much about the history of Barcelona and the Catalan people.

Best bike tour - Great bike tour of the city. Our guide Agustin had perfect English, was knowledgeable and fun. He set a comfortable pace for everyone and stopped along the route frequently to tell us about the history of different sites. We were able to see the usual touristy spots and see much more, getting a feel of many different neighborhoods. We had time to stop for ice cream midway. Agustin even gave us a list of recommended restaurants and bars to visit that he liked. This was the best guided tour I have done and highly recommend it.

A must do in Barcelona - This was one of our highlights. Our guide Augustin was a gem with lots of information. The pace was perfect and most of the tour was on bike paths. Electric bikes are not needed as there’s virtually no elevation.

Bella is amazing! - Bella gave us an impressive tour of Barcelonetta, Born, and beyond! She shared so many special details about each of the neighborhoods and parts of Barcelona that we would never have found on our own! The bike tour was truly fantastic for my 15 year old daughter and I! Thank you, Bella for making it so wonderful book for both of us!

Best tour of the “real” Barcelona! - 5 Stars!! This Bike tour was a perfect to see the “real” Barcelona. We were a family of four with two late teen boys. Our guide, Alejandra, had just the right amount of stops on the route and great information that kept everyone engaged and learning interesting facts about the history, architecture, and culture of this region. We made a stop in the middle of the tour for tapas which was perfect timing. The e bikes made the riding very easy and the route was mostly flat. We highly recommend the steel donkey bike tour and especially our guide, Alejandra. It has been our best tour of Barcelona we have done!
