Niemand in de straat om ons op te wachten. Rondgevraagd aan ondernemers niemand kent biketour. Finally i knocked on the door and a mechanic came outside and ask for 30 minutes to freshen up himself and will do tour instead of the original tourguide who broke his leg. I called viatour and wanted my money back because this was not the tour i have signed for. Usually Viatour is one of the best with tours. Hopefully next time better!

Gerardo gave us a really enjoyable experience spanning all the different faces, areas and stories of Barcelona. From tiny local bars which are important to the culture of a locality in Barcelona, to the bigger monuments. Gerardo is knowledgeable, creative in how the tour was structured and it was a really nice and relaxed way of giving us a full and rich experience of the city. I would recommend!

For me and my wife this was the best bike tour of all we've done so far... And we've done quite a few in other European cities. During the tour we had insights of Barcelona and it's history with a special touch of city living, social dimension and arts activism. LEO in Barceloneta .... Precioso Before the tour we felt that the city was just overcrowded and not worthing to spend much time. After seeing a glimpse of the real Barcelona we want to comeback :). Great!!! André
