Discover the best of Barcelona with Ciclo Bike Tours

Sometimes while travelling, you need to know when to just put the guide book away and experience the city for what it is.

Countless writers, experts and movies have tried to capture Barcelona’s essence but they are no match for the first hand experience of biking through her labyrinth of narrow streets and exploring her true colour and warmth.

Ciclo Bike Tours offers you an opportunity to step into a world off the beaten path and take a guided tour through some of Barcelona’s most unique barrios.  Their well-read tour guides will offer you a glimpse inside of one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan cities: pointing out its beautiful buildings, stopping at its most interesting sights and introducing you to some of Barcelona’s most colourful local characters. If you are lucky you might even get to see the pink-haired dame of the Rambla del Raval. So strap on your helmets and open your eyes - Barcelona is yours for the taking.
