An e-bike tour is always first on our list of activities when visiting foreign cities, especially with active teenagers. You can get a remarkable overview of a city in a short time, keep active and hope to remember some of the historical facts!
Our guide was Stephanie, intelligent, knowledgeable and well qualified to share the history of Barcelona with us. Her English was very good. In addition she was happy to pass on recommendations for restaurants and other visitors attractions at the end of the tour.
There is a lot to potentially fit into 3.5 hours but electric bikes made covering big distances very easy. However, I would suggest you need to be a confident cyclist to do this tour as the bikes are quite powerful. Helmets were offered (not obligatory in Barcelona) and you’d be crazy not to wear them. However there are bike lanes everywhere so we never felt uncomfortable with the traffic.
We were blessed with gorgeous weather. On other tours the bikes have had panniers and complimentary water bottles but this is a minor point.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
